I'm cooking and blogging from San Francisco this weekend. When my sister first moved to LA from New York last year and decided to live a half a block away from me, I was thrilled! We had big plans for frequent dinner parties and many opportunities to cook together. Alas with our busy schedules and her new son, things did not pan out the way we imagined. Now she is up north, and here we are cooking together for the first time in a long time.
We decided to make Korean food tonight. We both never really eat or cook spicy, but we thought we'd give it a try. The marinade is simple and the same for most Korean dishes: soy sauce, garlic, sugar, ginger, onions. The spicy comes from gochujang which is Korean hot pepper paste. We let the chicken marinate in that and we cooked the chicken in a Le Creuset on the stove. It would probably be even better on a grill, but it still turned out quite nice. Before eating we sprinkled the chicken with green onions and sesame seeds. Our mother always says presentation is key. She would have been so proud!
