Ingredients

  • about 680 g Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1/2 medium Onion, sliced
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 4 cups Cooked rice
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds, for garnish

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the about 680 g of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into thin strips, about 0.635 cm thick.
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1/2 medium sliced onion, 2 stalks chopped green onions, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. 3Add the sliced chicken to the marinade and mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon, ensuring each piece of chicken is coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to a few hours.
  4. 4Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it is hot, about 204.4°C (200°C).
  5. 5Carefully add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which allows the chicken to sear rather than steam. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and has developed some nice caramelized edges. The internal temperature should reach 74°C.
  6. 6Serve the cooked chicken bulgogi immediately over 4 cups of cooked rice. Garnish with 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
