Spicy Asian Chicken Sauté
Sometimes when I came up with a new recipe impromptu like this and it ended up super delicious and I simply must share with my readers, I realize that naming a dish is really not my strong point, so please forgive me the super generic name. And because I mixed ingredients from various cuisines, it was really hard to even categorize this into a specific cuisine, but the two dominant tastes are the Korean gochujang and Chinese five spice, with gochujang being more dominant, at least to me, so I ended up being putting this under a Korean dish. Silly naming and categorization aside, please give it a try and hopefully you will like it as much as I do.
I prepare chicken breast dishes so often in my house, so a lot of time I try to come up with new ways to cook it so we don’t get bored eating the same old dishes. It was pretty bold of me combining Korean gochujang and Chinese five spice, and I was having some doubts when mixing the sauces, but one taste test later and I proclaimed it a success ;)
