- 23 tablespoons gochujang
- 32 tablespoons gochugaru
- 42 tablespoons soy sauce
- 51 tablespoon sesame oil
- 61 tablespoon sugar
- 72 tablespoons sake or rice wine
- 84 cloves garlic, minced
- 91 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 102 cups cabbage, roughly chopped
- 111 medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thin
- 121 medium onion, cut into wedges
- 133 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 141 tablespoon vegetable oil

- 16Steamed rice for serving
Instructions
- 1
Combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, sake, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade. Coat chicken pieces thoroughly and marinate 20 minutes.
- 2
Heat a large, wide pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with oil. Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer and cook 3 minutes per side until lightly golden and starting to soften.
- 3
Push sweet potatoes to the side. Add marinated chicken and cook 4–5 minutes without stirring to allow caramelization, then flip and cook 3 more minutes.
- 4
Add onion and cabbage, toss everything together in the pan. The chicken marinade will begin caramelizing on the hot pan surface, creating charred, sticky bits. Cook 5 more minutes, tossing occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

If using cheese: pile mozzarella in the center of the pan, cover with a lid for 2 minutes until melted. Scatter green onions over the top. Serve directly from the pan with steamed rice.
