Buldak, or fire chicken, is a spicy, saucy Korean dish that practically begs to be served with a cold beer. This one-skillet weeknight-friendly version swaps in simply marinated chicken breast pieces that get stir-fried right alongside chewy, bouncy rice cakes before getting a blistered finish under the broiler.
The aromatic sauce gets its fiery goodness from a combination of gochujang and gochugaru; the paste adds spicy-sweet flavor and fermented depth, while the pepper flakes add earthy heat.
For the savoriest chicken flavor, chicken stock is the way to go, but if your cabinet is out, vegetable broth or water work as well.
Don't skip the pop of scallions (a.k.a. green onions) on top.
