Cheese Dakgalbi

Dakgalbi is a Korean dish where chicken and vegetables are stir-fried with a spicy and sweet gochujang-based sauce. Top it off with some mozzarella cheese and I guarantee you’re going to love it! It is a really quick and easy dish to make, and seriously yummy too. If you’ve ever eaten at Yoogane, you’d probably have tried dakgalbi before, except that they combine the rice together with the chicken and vegetables. Anyway, this is a great one-pan meal which can feed an entire family!

Feel free to adjust the amount of gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, and soy sauce according to your own preference. You can also use up to 500g of cabbage (instead of 250g) if you want more vegetables.

I paired my cheese dakgalbi with some kimchi fried rice (topped off with some seaweed) for extra flavour! Honestly, Yoogane is really tasty but too expensive in Singapore. By cooking dakgalbi yourself at home, you probably spend at most $10 to feed 2-3 people, as compared to $40-60 at Yoogane. So do try this at home!
