Description

Pssst, want a hot tip? It’s called buldak chicken, and you heard it here first. The meaning in Korean is fire chicken, and the heat is packed into a mixture of potent gochujang paste, soy sauce and sweet pepper that’s spooned over the meat as it cooks. Less expected and even more delicious is the cheese factor, in the form of grated mozzarella, which comes in to soothe the spiciness with a final broil. Sautéed Asian greens offer more contrast on the side.
