Chicken He is a bright, spicy dish of Korean cuisine that captivates with its rich flavor and aroma of spices. Its roots go back to traditional Korean meat marinating methods, creating a harmony of spiciness, sourness, and savory notes. Tender chicken fillet is marinated with salt and sugar and then infused with vinegar essence for a characteristic spiciness. Onion adds freshness and light sweetness while ground coriander reveals warm, earthy notes. The dish's special charm comes from hot oil with chili pepper, creating a 'burning taste' effect that warms and awakens the appetite. Chicken He pairs perfectly with rice or fresh vegetables.
