Dinner

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the marinade by mixing gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, curry powder, 1 tbsp minced garlic, and a splash of water to form a thick paste.

  2. 2

    Toss the chicken chunks in the marinade, cover, and let sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Heat a very large, wide, flat cast-iron pan or skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

  4. 4

    Add the marinated chicken, sweet potato sticks, chopped cabbage, and rice cakes. Stir-fry continuously for 10-15 minutes, allowing the cabbage to release its water to steam the sweet potatoes.

  5. 5

    Once the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender, toss in the torn perilla leaves for the final minute of cooking.

  6. 6

    Optional but recommended: Melt shredded mozzarella cheese over the top before serving, and save a little leftover sauce in the pan to fry rice at the end of the meal.
