Spring Meal #5
Bold flavors, easy weeknights, and a snack that hits every time
Spring is in full swing and this week we are leaning into bold flavors without making your weeknights complicated. We're making crispy gochujang chicken that is going to make you wonder why you haven't been cooking with this funky chili paste all along, dan dan noodles that are rich and a little spicy, a one-pan tortellini that doesn't even require you to boil water, and a burger bowl that you’ve seen before and will be an old pro at! We're also making a copycat snack that tastes like a perfect bar but costs a fraction of the price. It's a good week to be eating at your house.
DINNER #1: Crispy Gouchujang Chicken | Total time: 35 minutes | Serves: 4
If you haven’t tried Gochujang yet, now’s your time. If you don’t know what that is, stick with us because we love it. It’s a chili paste that adds tons of flavor without needing to pull out a bunch of ingredients. When Tara made this for her family it got rave reviews from all five members, which if you are feeding kids you know can be a monumental feat!
Notes:
Simplify: She prompts you to cut chicken breasts in half, but you can also just buy the chicken tenderloins if you prefer!
Serve with: We like to serve this with our salad of choice, a bagged salad really makes this come together easily. It delicious with Yum Yum sauce as suggested! If you don’t want to buy Yum Yum sauce you can make it with things you likely already have.
