Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite

A perfect balance of spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors that excite your taste buds. It’s quick to make and uses simple ingredients, making it a great option for a satisfying weeknight meal. The tender chicken combined with crisp vegetables creates a wonderful texture contrast.

Cooking Secrets

- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors fully absorb.
- Stir constantly over medium-high heat to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Add vegetables like cabbage or sweet potatoes for extra texture and nutrition.

Directions

Heat some oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Toss in the chicken pieces and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they’re mostly cooked through and no longer pink, which should take about 4 to 7 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, gochugaru, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, black pepper, and ginger in a bowl. Pour this sauce over the chicken and keep cooking, stirring often, until the chicken is nicely browned and coated in the sauce, about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the rice cakes, cabbage, sweet potato, and onion to the pan. Cook everything together, stirring now and then, until the sweet potatoes start to soften and change color, around 10 minutes. Throw in most of the scallions and the perilla leaves, cooking just until they wilt, which will take about 3 minutes. If the sauce looks like it’s drying out, splash in a little water to keep things saucy. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the scallions and some sesame seeds on top before serving.

Serving Ideas For Family Meals

Serve with steamed rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. You can also offer a side of pickled radishes or kimchi to add a refreshing crunch. For a more filling meal, wrap the chicken in lettuce leaves with a bit of rice and ssamjang sauce.

Food Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to keep the chicken tender and avoid drying out the sauce. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the chicken and vegetables may change.
