Spicy Korean chicken paired with refreshing cucumber salad for a fiery and cooling experience.
Ingredients:
  • 3 green onions, roughly chopped plus 1, thinly sliced, for salad
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 42.00 gm soy sauce
  • 82.50 ml Korean hot pepper paste (see notes)
  • 32.00 gm brown sugar
  • 20.00 ml sesame oil
  • 40.00 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 500g Free Range Chicken tenderloins
  • 2 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 long red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar
  • Brown rice, to serve
  • Butter lettuce leaves, to serve
  • Green onions, thinly sliced, to serve
  • 12.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted, to serve
Instructions:
  • To make the marinade, combine onions, garlic, soy sauce, hot pepper paste, sugar, honey, oil, and half of the rice wine vinegar in a small food processor. Blend until smooth. Season to taste. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade for serving. Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour in the rest of the marinade. Seal the bag and massage to coat the chicken evenly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, chili, green onions, and coriander. Drizzle the remaining rice wine vinegar and sugar over the vegetables. Toss well to coat and set aside.
  • After marinating, grill the chicken in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.
  • Present the chicken alongside a refreshing cucumber salad, nutty brown rice, crisp lettuce, and the reserved marinade. Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and additional green onion for extra flavor and visual appeal, if desired.
