Notes
Slice chicken evenly: This ensures it cooks quickly and consistently.
Use high heat: A hot wok creates that classic stir-fry sear and flavor.
Don’t overcook the sauce: Once thickened and glossy, it’s ready to serve.
Taste the gochujang first: Heat levels vary, so adjust to your spice preference.
