Gochujang Chicken Parm Bao Melts

Step 1
Marinate the chicken

In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, half the garlic, all the ginger, honey, black pepper, and 1 g salt. Add the chicken and coat well. Let it sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

⏱ 15 minutes🔥 Room temperature
Cues: The chicken should be evenly glossy red and smell savory, garlicky, and slightly sweet.
Tip: A short marinade is enough because gochujang and soy are strong, and small chicken strips absorb flavor quickly.
