Buldak - Het koreansk kyckling

OK, ny mission. Jag ska lära mig att tillaga koreansk mat. Först ut är rätten Buldak.

Marinerade kycklingen i 24h. Blev gott, lagom hetta. Glömde tyvärr mozzarellan, kommer testa på resterna.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

For the Marinade/Sauce:

• 3 tbsp gochujang
• 2 tbsp gochugaru
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• ½ cup chicken broth

Garnishing:

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 green onions, chopped
• ½ cup mozzarella cheese 

Preparation

Step1: Prepare the Chicken

• Rinse and pat dry the chicken with paper towels.
• Cut it into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
• Set aside while preparing the marinade.

Step2: Make the Marinade

• In a large mixing bowl, combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, mirin, ketchup, and water/chicken broth.
• Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth.
• Taste and adjust the spiciness by adding more gochugaru if desired.

Step3: Marinate the Chicken

• Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
• Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step4: Cook the Chicken

• Option 1: Pan-FryingHeat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• Option 2: Grilling (Traditional Method)Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until slightly charred and cooked through. Brush extra marinade on the chicken while grilling for more flavor.

Step 5: Add Cheese

• If you want a cheesy Buldak, transfer the cooked chicken to a heatproof dish.
• Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
• Place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the dish.
• Serve hot with steamed rice, kimchi, or Korean rice cakes (tteok)
