Savoury, garlicky grilled chicken — Korea.
plus marinating
Equipment: Large frying pan or griddle
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 600 g chicken thighs, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 spring onions (scallions), sliced
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Optional extras
- 1–2 tsp sweetener
Method
- Mix the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and sweetener (if using). Stir in the chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat a large pan or griddle over a very high heat.
- Add the chicken in a single layer — don't crowd it — and leave for a minute to caramelise before turning. Cook for 6–8 minutes in total, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
- Scatter with spring onion and sesame seeds.
- Serve wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, with kimchi alongside. No added salt — the marinade and kimchi season it fully.
Swaps and tips
Wrap in lettuce leaves instead of serving with rice. A spoon of kimchi alongside adds a tangy, low-carb kick. Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free.
