Chicken bulgogi

Get:
  • 1 lbs chicken thigh meat, boneless + skinless, chopped into 1cm strips
  • 5 cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 4g fresh ginger, microplaned (about 1 tbsp)
  • 3 green onions, coarsely chopped
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper


Do:
  • chop the chicken, onions, garlic, ginger
  • whisk all remaining ingredients together to make the marinade
  • add the chicken to the marinade, and seal
  • Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or up to overnight
  • Sear on high heat until cooked through to 160F, about 5 minutes. Turn once or twice to brown evenly.
Results:
  • Yummy! The chicken browned nicely and tasted good. The honey/sugar might be important for that.
  • Try not to pour too much liquid into the pan! If you over-made the marinade then there will be too much liquid and the chicken won't be dry enough to brown.
  • burning the sauce a bit helps with the restaurant flavor. i also added the hoisin which may have helped.
  • the chopped scallion was nice texture.
