Buldak
Buldak
Buldak, also known as “Fire Chicken,” is a popular Korean dish made with spicy marinated chicken. It’s known for its intense heat and delicious flavor. The chicken is typically cooked with a spicy sauce made from gochujang (Korean chili paste), gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), garlic, soy sauce, and other seasonings. Some variations of Buldak include adding cheese or topping it with a fried egg for an extra indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken boneless (thigh or breast), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional toppings:
- mozzarella cheese shredded
- green onions sliced
- fried egg
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, vegetable oil, and sesame oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss until they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or you can refrigerate it overnight for maximum flavor.
- Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred.
- If you want to add cheese, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooked chicken and cover the pan with a lid. Let it melt for a few minutes until the cheese is gooey and melted.
- Serve the Buldak hot with a sprinkle of sliced green onions on top. You can also add a fried egg if you like.
