Technique to learn

Covered Steam-Pan Stirring

Alternating between open sautéing and covered cooking cooks dense vegetables efficiently while infusing marinade flavors into raw proteins.

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, and minced garlic into a thick marinade paste.

Step 2: Add cut chicken thighs to marinade bowl and coat evenly.

Step 3: Heat toasted sesame oil in a wide cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Add sliced sweet potatoes and pan-fry for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: Add marinated chicken to the skillet, stirring to brown chicken pieces on all sides for 5 minutes.

Step 6: Add chopped cabbage, cover skillet with a lid, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until sweet potato slices are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7: Uncover skillet, turn heat up to medium-high, and toss rapidly for 2 minutes to reduce juices and caramelize cabbage slightly.

Step 8: Remove from heat, fold in torn perilla leaves, and serve hot.

Cooking tips

Slice sweet potatoes thin (1/4 inch) so they soften at the same cooking rate as chicken thigh meat.
Covering the skillet mid-way creates steam that cooks dense root vegetables without burning the marinade.

Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
