Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together gochujang, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking

Marinate longer for more intense flavor. Adjust heat level by adding more gochujang or red pepper flakes. This recipe can be made vegan by substituting chicken with tofu or tempeh. Excellent for meal prep and storage.
