Can I use another protein to make this recipe?

Yes you can! This recipe also works well with beef, pork, and firm fish like salmon and arctic char.

How do I make this recipe gluten-free?

Swap the soy sauce for tamari or liquid aminos. When it comes to gochujang, make sure that the one you are using doesn't contain soy sauce or barley malt. The Sempio brand offers a gluten-free gochujang which you can purchase here on Amazon .

How do I make this chicken bulgogi sweeter or spicier?

To make it sweeter, add a grated apple like a Honeycrisp apple. This will make your marinade sweeter and fruitier. It's a classic way to sweeten sauces in Korean cooking. To make it spicy, add an extra teaspoon of gochujang.

Instructions

Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
Cut the chicken into 2-inch pieces, trimming off the excess fat, and add it to the marinade.
Mix well to coat the chicken and cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Put a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and swirl it around to coat the surface. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cabbage. Keep the marinade to the side. If you are using a griddle pan (recommended), brush it with oil and add the chicken and cabbage.
Cook the chicken and cabbage for 2 minutes and add 2 tablespoons of marinade. Toss the chicken and cabbage for 1 minute and add another 2 tablespoons of marinade. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Add more marinade to the skillet or griddle pan if it looks dry.
Transfer the chicken and cabbage to a plate and top with green onions. Serve.

Notes

Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
