Korean Stir Fry Udon Chicken Recipe 475

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick saucepan. Add chicken pieces; cook and stir until nearly opaque, 4 to 7 minutes.
• Combine gochujang, soy sauce, gochugaru, mirin, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, black pepper, and ginger in a bowl. Add to the saucepan with the chicken. Cook and stir until chicken pieces are browned and well coated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir rice cakes, cabbage, sweet potato, and onion into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Cook until sweet potato changes color, about 10 minutes. Add 2 to 2 1/2 scallions and perilla leaves. Cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add more water if sauce seems to be drying up. Garnish with remaining scallions and sesame seeds.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until syrupy, so around 3-4 mins. Take off the heat and set aside.
• Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper and the grated ginger. Toss the chicken with the cornflour until completely coated.
• Heat about 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium/high heat. Fry the chicken wings for 8-10 mins until crisp, turning halfway. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper. Leave to cool slightly (around 2 mins).
• Reheat the sauce, and toss the crispy chicken wings in it. Tip into a bowl and top with the sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.

Steps:

• Prepare the ingredients as mentioned in the above ingredients section. (I used the baby bok choy without chopping it, but you could cut them if you wish.) Marinate the chicken with the marinade sauce for 30 mins. Heat the wok on the stove for 10 seconds on high heat. Add some vegetable oil (I use rice bran oil) and spread the oil with the spatula. Then add the marinated chicken (with all sauce) and cook it for 3 to 5 mins on high heat. Stir it occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium high and add all the vegetables. Stir them well. Cook it for 3 to 5 mins. While you are cooking the chicken from step 3, boil some water in a sauce pan (it takes 5 to 8 mins). Dip the fresh udon noodles and leave it for 3 to 5 mins. During this time, lighly separate the noodles using tongs and/or chopstics. This is to parboil the fresh udon noodles. I prefer soaking udon noodles in warm/hot water before using, as it separates the noodles easily and the sauce gets absorbed better. (However this step can be skipped. In that case, you will need to cook it longer in the next step.) After the time is lapsed, drain the water. Add the udon noodles into the wok and mix them well with the rest of ingredients in the wok for 1 to 2 mins. Serve them on a plate and enjoy!
