Korean BBQ chicken tacos

These chicken tacos are packed with that sweet and salty korean BBQ flavour.



Ingredients

The chicken

  • Chicken (650 g)
  • Garlic (3 cloves)
  • Ginger (2 cm)
  • Hoisin sauce (3 Tbsp)
  • Sesame oil (1.5 Tbsp)
  • Soy sauce (1.5 Tbsp)
  • Mushroom soy (0.5 Tbsp)

Saucy-fy the chicken

  • Water (2 Tbsp)
  • Soy (2 Tbsp)
  • Sesame oil (1 Tbsp)
  • Lemon or ricevinegar (2 Tbsp)

Mushrooms

  • Champignons (250 g)
  • Garlic pepper (to taste)
  • Salt
  • Soy (1 Tbsp)

Additional ingredients

  • Green onion
  • Sesame seeds
  • Lime

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into bigger strips and put In a bowl.
  2. Add the other ingredients to the bowl and "massage" it, before letting it rest whilst doing the next steps.
  3. Prepare the mushrooms, I cut my small mushrooms into quarters, but do as you please.
  4. Put oil in a pan and when hot, add the mushrooms without anything else.
  5. Start frying up the chicken (if the pan is small, do it in batches, don't overcrowd the pan, it will make them release water and turn dry)
  6. When the mushrooms start getting some colour you can add the garlic pepper.
  7. Only when the mushrooms have already released and evaporated some water you should add the salt. When they are done to your liking you can splash some soy on them.
  8. When all the chicken is done you can put them aside and add the sauce ingredients into the same pan. Whilst the sauce is cooking up you can cut the chicken into smaller slices out of the stripes.
  9. When the sauce has reduced, you can add the chicken back in and let it soak it all up.
  10. Assemble in your choice of taco, and enjoy!
