1 tbsp sugar

6 large garlic cloves minced

步驟

In a large bowl, mix together the gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, brown sugar chilies, garlic and ginger, to form a thick paste.

Add the chicken and stir through marinade to combine. Option to marinade overnight.Heat a pan to medium heat. Add the chicken along with all of the marinade. Allow the chicken to sear on one side for about 2-3 minutes, before stir frying to flipping to the other side for an even sear.

Add water or chicken stock to the pan. Stir to combine with the chicken. Deglaze and scrape the bottom of the pan for any stuck spice bits to combine with the sauce. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until chicken cooks through. Option to cover with a lid. The marinade/sauce should reduce a bit. Remove lid.

Sprinkle on cheese over the chicken. Cover back with the lid, and allow cheese to melt for about 1-2 minutes.

Once cheese melts, take off the lid and turn off the heat. Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
