I love how Maangchi has you throw all the ingredients right into the pan. No fuss with another bowl or time to marinade - and she’s right, it doesn’t need it. Serve with rice and some crunchy cool vegetables (a light cucumber salad would be amazing, or a simple salad). This is so rich and savory and comes together quickly - definitely a weeknight staple! Gochujang is a must, although you could use a little extra in place of the Korean Chile flakes if you can’t find them. I substituted a Serrano pepper for the Korean Chile and thought it was great. 10/10
