Speedy Gochujang Chicken & Cabbage Stir-fry ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 0.5 head Green cabbage
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Honey or sugar
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger
• 0.25 cup Water

How to make Speedy Gochujang Chicken & Cabbage Stir-fry

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1/4 cup of water until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Set this flavorful sauce aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the very thinly sliced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn a light golden color.
3. Push the potatoes to one side of the pan to create space. Add the thinly sliced chicken to the other side and spread it into a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is mostly cooked through and lightly browned, then toss it with the potatoes.
4. Add the sliced onion and shredded cabbage to the skillet with the chicken and potatoes. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, tossing everything together constantly, until the cabbage wilts significantly and the onion becomes translucent and tender-crisp.
5. Pour the prepared gochujang sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Toss vigorously to coat everything evenly, ensuring the sauce is well distributed and simmering, infusing the dish with its spicy, savory, and sweet notes.
6. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and adhere beautifully to all the ingredients. If using, add the halved cherry tomatoes during the last minute of cooking for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
7. Taste the stir-fry and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or honey for sweetness. Serve hot immediately, perhaps over steamed rice if desired, for a complete and satisfying meal.
