Main Ingredients- 3 pieces frozen chicken breast (approx. 400g)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the frozen chicken breast. If it’s completely thawed, it will be difficult to slice. Take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a short while until it’s only slightly thawed. Prepare 3 pieces of chicken breast (approx. 400g) and thinly slice them. Slicing them thinly will make them much more tender when cooked.
Step 2
Place the sliced chicken breast in a bowl, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix well to coat. Let it marinate for a while. The olive oil will help make the chicken breast even more tender.
Step 3
Prepare 2 king oyster mushrooms. Thinly slice them while preserving their shape, then cut them in half to create bite-sized, square pieces.
Step 4
Now, heat a pan and add the chicken breast that has been marinated in olive oil. Begin to stir-fry. Make sure to separate the chicken breast pieces so they don’t stick together as they cook.
Step 5
When the chicken breast is about half cooked, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of plum syrup (or mirin) and continue to stir-fry. This step adds a subtle sweetness and flavor to the chicken breast.
Step 6
Once the chicken breast is fully cooked, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir-fry evenly until all ingredients are well combined. This is the moment your delicious bulgogi sauce comes together.
Step 7
Add the prepared king oyster mushrooms and 1 stalk of green onion to the pan and stir-fry together. Slicing the green onion diagonally, focusing on the white parts, will enhance the texture and aroma.
Step 8
Finally, add the green parts of the green onion, 2 Korean chili peppers (seeds removed), and 1 dried red chili pepper, all sliced diagonally, and stir-fry for a little longer. This will add a spicy kick, making it even more delicious. Once all ingredients are well-cooked, your flavorful chicken breast bulgogi is ready!
