How to make K-Style Peppers Chicken

  1. Step 1

    In a blender or food processor, combine Gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Blend until smooth to make the K-Style sauce.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the K-Style sauce and 1 tablespoon of water. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed, then sauté the sliced onions and bell peppers until tender, about 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

  6. Step 6

    Add the marinated chicken back into the skillet and stir to coat with the pepper mixture.

  7. Step 7

    Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender.

  8. Step 8

    Garnish with chopped crispy garlic (if using) and serve hot over rice or noodles.

FAQS

  1. What is the best way to marinate chicken for K-Style Peppers Chicken?

    To achieve the best flavor in your K-Style Peppers Chicken, marinate the chicken in the K-Style sauce for at least 30 minutes, but ideally up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors from the Gochujang, soy sauce, and spices to penetrate the chicken, resulting in a more flavorful dish.

  2. Can I make K-Style Peppers Chicken gluten-free?

    Yes, you can easily make K-Style Peppers Chicken gluten-free by substituting the soy sauce with a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Additionally, ensure that the Gochujang you use is gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten.

  3. What can I substitute for Gochujang in K-Style Peppers Chicken?

    If you don't have Gochujang on hand, you can substitute it with a mix of miso paste and a bit of chili powder or sriracha for heat. While it won't replicate the exact flavor, it will still provide a spicy and savory element to your dish.

  4. How should I store leftover K-Style Peppers Chicken?

    To store leftover K-Style Peppers Chicken, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop or microwave.

  5. What are some good side dishes to serve with K-Style Peppers Chicken?

    K-Style Peppers Chicken pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, fried rice, or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad to balance the flavors. For a complete meal, consider adding some Korean-style kimchi for an extra kick!
