- Hi, everybody.
I'm not in my kitchen. I'm traveling right now.
No matter where I go, I have to cook.
I gotta eat! Today's recipe is Korean style
Spicy Chicken Skewers, in Korean "Dak-kkochi".
This is kind of a Korean street food. Probably
You already tasted it, if you visited Korea.
There are many different kinds of versions,
but today's kind of my favorite version, of course,
spicy version. Let's cook together.
This is chicken thigh, a little more than 2 pounds.
So prepare 2 pounds of a chicken thigh or chicken breast.
The reason I like chicken thigh is that it's
juicy after cooking,
never dry!
Before handling my chicken,
I like to make a spicy sauce first.
1/3 cup gochujang, Korean hot pepper paste.
The same amount of rice syrup
1/3 cup
And 2 table spoons gochu-garu,
Korean hot pepper flakes.
I'm always traveling with gochu-garu.
I just keep this in my zipper bag.
And 2 tablespoons vinegar. This is apple vinegar,
but any type of distilled vinegar will work well.
And add 2 tablespoons cooking oil.
We need some water here.
Add 1/4 cup water, and mix.
Spicy, sweet, just little sour, shiny and thin, not thick.
Next, chicken!
Chicken thigh,
I like to trim some fat.
One by one.
We're going to cut this into pieces and also I'm going to
trim this fat.
When I trim this,
this is fat and this is kind of leftover some pieces.
Of course we can cook this later.
Okay.
I washed these.
We got to season this meat.
1 tablespoon soy sauce.
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
4 large garlic cloves,
and just a little bit green onion.
This green onion is large green onion.
I always use lots of garlic,
especially when I cook chicken.
Let's mix.
We season this very lightly, so it's not very salty.
That's why we need the red sauce later.
And I want to add some green onion.
Before I came here and I
stopped by a Korean grocery store, because I knew I would
cook lots of Korean food. Let's add some green onion.
And
So this is my rice cake.

Let's just skewer.
You can marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or even overnight.
Marinated chicken is really delicious,
but I'm busy.
What is my sentence?
I'm busy! I've got to finish my filming!
So I'm just cooking right now.
This is 10 inch wooden skewer.
Green onion.
One,
We made 5 large skewers.
I just heated this rice cake in the microwave
for 30 seconds.
We have a grill outside. Let's go and cook.
I'm ready to cook. I'm using this grill.
I just preheated this grill, so I'm going to cook
without lid.
Just cook for five minutes. After that,
I will flip them over, and cook for another five minutes.
After that, we are going to add the red sauce.
If I add red sauce just right now,
it's going to be burnt.
They are really nice cooked.
It smells amazing! See? The chicken is 98% cooked!
Then use this sauce.
Sauce is not very salty so you can use as much as you can.
Make it shiny and red.
I'm going to add it here, too.
Around 1 minute later,
I'm going to flip them over again and add the sauce
to the other side.
I have this glove, heat resistant glove.
Let's flip them over.
Happy time! Time to eat!
These are wild flowers.
I picked this up for you guys. Isn't it pretty?
I need some booze.
This is none-alcoholic.
These days I don't drink alcohol.
Maybe someday I may change my mind,
but this is non alcoholic booze.
Chicken and some rice cakes.
I can't eat all, just one piece of rice cake.
Green onion.
Cheers! Everybody!
Are you happy?
So am I!
- That's good. Good.
Chicken.
- Hm.
So good. So good!
Oh my,
My rice cake.
Hmm, Hmm.
Sweet and a little sour, chewy, rice cake,
and crunchy outside. Basically this is
Tteokbokki, grilled Tteokbokki
Mmmm.
Today's my another delicious life. I hope
your life is also delicious. So today we made
Dakkochi, Korean style,
spicy chicken skewers. Enjoy my recipe.
See you next time!
Bye!
