Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless and boneless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, vegetable oil, or other neutral oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
Steps
-
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface like a cutting board. Add the chicken pieces to it and sprinkle the gochugaru on top.
-
Cover with another piece of parchment paper and gently pound the chicken with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, until the gochugaru is sticking to the chicken.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom surface of the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
-
Using the same pan, lower the heat to low. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey, and let the sauce cook for 1 minute, until it starts to thickens.
-
Return the chicken to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, until the chicken is coated evenly. Turn the heat off.
-
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Toss the chicken one last time and transfer it to a serving plate. Top with chopped scallions a serve with a side of warm Japanese rice or jasmine rice.
