Korean SoyBean paste Chicken

Lately I have been exploring how to cook korean dishes at home. Then a friend passed me the Soybean paste so I tried to explore what can be cooked. Decided to go with stir fry chicken to go with hot piping rice for dinner today! I sort of ran thru the basic ingredients needed, commonly used were soybean paste, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, spring onions! I decided to make a small portion of marinate for the chicken slices.

Was surprise how it turns out! Its nice, great to go with a bowl of rice! Or even wrapping it with a slice of lettuce! A bit too strong flavour on its own! I think if i add water, some tofu slices to make into stew will taste good too! 

Do try this simple recipe and let me know! Definitely cheaper than grilling them in Korean restaurants! I hope I wont over-eat on my carbo today! Served with or without kimchi?

Economic Fried Beehoon Mee

Always impromptu crave for food and want to eat. Best way is to cook and eat at home! With a 22mo toddler + 2 older kids to manage when eating out is quite a handful. Esp when my #3 is very challenging as he doesnt like to sit too long. 

Yesterday saw my facebook feeds, a year or 2 ago, I also cooked this but I didnt document down. So today, I am cooking again and recording the recipe! Its quite simple as you decide what sides to go along. Today, I choose sunnyside, luncheon & prawn rings. Slurrpppp!
