Korean culture has a lot to offer, but for now, I'm going to focus on gochujang. This savory, spicy sauce is a heavenly combination of red chili powder and fermented soybeans. You can find gochujang at just about any Asian market, but I buy my favorite from the World Market in downtown Seattle.
I'll give you vague directions on how I prepare dinner for my family of 4.
Ingredients
- 3 boneless chicken breasts
- A few tablespoons of gochujang (enough to thoroughly cover)
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- Fresh or frozen broccoli florets
- Your choice of rice
Directions
- Combine gochujang and soy sauce in bowl
- Slice chicken breasts thinly
- Place chicken in marinade
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes (I marinated my chicken for 3 hours)
- Pan fry chicken until it temps at 165 degrees
- Slice chicken into strips
- Serve immediately over steamed broccoli and rice
So there you have it! Seven easy steps to a delicious, Korean-inspired dinner. I kept the measurements and directions vague intentionally, so you can flavor your meal to-taste. Have fun with it, and I hope you enjoy gochujang as much as I do!
