Main Ingredients- 150g chicken tenderloins
- 1/2 onion
- 2 stalks of bok choy
- 1 handful of tteokguk tteok (rice cake soup slices)
Seasoning & Toppings- Pinch of salt
- 70g mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice of processed cheese
- Pinch of butter
- Pinch of perilla oil
- Pinch of salt
- 70g mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice of processed cheese
- Pinch of butter
- Pinch of perilla oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s stir-fry the vegetables. Lightly oil a pan with perilla oil and sauté the minced onion until it becomes translucent. Once the onion softens, add the stems of the washed bok choy and stir-fry briefly, just enough to keep them crisp. Season with a tiny pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Step 2
Now, let’s cook the chicken tenderloins. Place the lightly seasoned chicken tenderloins in the pan along with a piece of butter. Sear them on both sides until they are golden brown. Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a plate and let it cool slightly. We’ll cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces later.
Step 3
Prepare the tteokguk tteok for a chewy texture. Lightly oil a pan with perilla oil and pan-fry the tteokguk tteok on both sides until lightly golden. It’s best to cook them just until the surface is slightly crisp, rather than overcooking them.
Step 4
It’s time to assemble the gratin in the dish. Generously coat the inside of your gratin dish with butter. This will prevent sticking and add a delicious buttery flavor. First, arrange the pan-fried tteokguk tteok attractively at the bottom. Then, add the sautéed onion and bok choy stems. For the cooked chicken tenderloins, snip them into bite-sized pieces with scissors and layer them evenly.
Step 5
Now for the indulgent cheesy topping! Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the ingredients. As it melts, it will beautifully bind everything together. Tear the slice of processed cheese into pieces and scatter them over the mozzarella. As it bakes, this will melt naturally, creating an even more appetizing appearance. The finished dish will have a lovely, golden-brown color!
Step 6
Finally, let’s bake it to perfection! Place the gratin dish in a preheated air fryer and cook at 190°C (375°F) for 8 minutes. The combination of golden-brown melted cheese and the warm ingredients inside is simply delightful! As soon as you take it out of the air fryer, you’ll be greeted by a wonderful, savory aroma, and the slightly crisp, caramelized cheese bits are an absolute treat. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Tenderloin Gratin!
