Notes

Expert Tips
  • Cheese Addition: Adding shredded mozzarella helps to balance the spice, making it a great option if you want to tone down the heat.
  • Lettuce Wraps: Serve with lettuce wraps for a fresh, crunchy contrast to the spicy chicken. You can also use perilla leaves for a traditional Korean taste.
  • Make Fried Rice: Save leftovers to make a quick and flavorful fried rice with the leftover sauce and ingredients. See recipe in the Recipe FAQs below.
