Ingredients
- 450 g Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 stalks Green onion, sliced
- 9 large leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1/2 cup Kimchi, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Cabbage, shredded
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Lime juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, sliced green onion, salt, and pepper; whisk to form the bulgogi marinade.
- 2
Add the thinly sliced chicken to the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the slaw.
- 3
In a separate bowl, mix chopped kimchi, shredded cabbage, lime juice, and 2 tbsp mayonnaise to create the tangy kimchi slaw; set aside.
- 4
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium‑high heat; add a splash of oil if needed and cook the marinated chicken in a single layer, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and cooked through, about 8‑10 minutes.
- 5
While the chicken finishes cooking, spread the remaining 1 tbsp mayonnaise on the inner side of each lettuce leaf and drizzle with a little extra lime juice if desired.
- 6
Assemble each sandwich by placing a generous portion of cooked chicken onto a lettuce leaf, top with kimchi slaw, and fold or roll the leaf to eat.
