Spicy Chili Chicken Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (approx. 300-400g)
- Pinch of salt (for seasoning)
- Pinch of black pepper (for seasoning)
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 carrot (optional)
- 2-3 Tbsp Buldak sauce (adjust spiciness)
- 2 Tbsp chili sauce
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 bowl of warm rice
- Pinch of sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the chicken breasts thoroughly, then slice them lengthwise into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm thick). Avoid slicing too thinly, as this can make them dry. Aim for a moderate thickness.
Step 2
Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the chicken starts to lightly brown, sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper. This double seasoning helps enhance the chicken’s flavor.
Step 4
Stir-fry the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Ensure it’s golden on the outside and tender on the inside. Once cooked, set the chicken aside in a separate bowl.
Step 5
In the same pan, thinly slice the onion and julienne or thinly slice the carrot. If the pan seems dry, add a little more oil. Add the onions and carrots and sauté until the onions become translucent.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the sautéed onions and carrots. Add the Buldak sauce, chili sauce, and ketchup. Stir-fry quickly over high heat until the chicken is well-coated with the sauce. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the chicken tough. The goal is to coat the ingredients evenly.
Step 7
The Perfect Spicy Chili Sauce Ratio!
Step 8
Spoon the saucy chili chicken mixture generously over a bowl of warm rice. Let the sauce soak into the rice for a delicious flavor combination.
Step 9
Your spicy and sweet chili chicken rice bowl is ready! The chicken breast, coated in the flavorful chili sauce, combined with the crisp vegetables, makes for a delightful dish. You can enjoy this as a rice bowl or as a side dish.
Step 10
