Ingredients
- 200 g chicken
- 1 teaspoon Gochujang
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup cheese
- 1 green chili
- 1 green onion
- 1-2 garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken thighs, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, Gochujang, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic, chopped green chilies, salt and pepper.
- Mix well to coat the chicken thighs nicely.
- Heat oil in a skillet and cook chicken over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with shredded cheese.
- Take off heat and allow the cheese to melt. Top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Gochujang and honey can burn quickly if the pan is too hot, which turns the sauce bitter and dark. Keep the heat medium-low.
Notes
- Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces before marinating so more surface area gets coated and the sauce clings better.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a small splash of water (or a tablespoon of stock) to loosen it into a glossy glaze.
- Add the cheese off the heat, cover the pan for 1 minute, and let residual heat melt it gently without breaking the sauce.
- To bulk up the dish, you can also add some diced veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, bok choy and baby corn.
