Cheese Buldak (Spicy Fire Chicken with Cheese)
Serves 4
Directions
- 1Prepare the spicy paste by combining hot pepper flakes, hot pepper paste (gochujang), soy sauce, cooking oil, ground black pepper, rice syrup, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
- 2Chop green onions for garnish later.
- 3Prepare mozzarella cheese by shredding or dicing it.
- 4Mix the prepared paste until thick.
- 5Trim any yellow fat from the chicken breast and dice it into one-inch cubes.
- 6Mix the chicken with the spicy paste thoroughly.
- 7Lightly oil a pan and cook one cup of sliced rice cake until both sides are slightly crispy, then turn off the heat.
