Grilled Chicken Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps with Gochujang Aioli
Instructions
Cook:15min
Always in the search of light, feel-good dinner for the summer months, these Grilled Chicken Bulgogi Lettuce Wraps just might be my favorite warm weather dinner we've ever shared here on PWWB. They're savory, sticky-sweet, & spicy – an utter delight! It all starts with my go-to bulgogi marinade, a recipe I inherited from my grandma. While it's a little more Hawaiian in style than traditionally Korean, it comes together quickly thanks to a blender or food processor & it packs a big punch of flavor thanks to bold aromatic ingredients like onion, garlic, ginger, sesame oil & gochujang. A generous amount of dark brown sugar provides sweetness for irresistibly charred grill marks, which is balanced by a little soy sauce & rice wine for savory flavor. Let the marinade soak into the bulgogi chicken, then simply grill it up & wrap it in crisp lettuce with rice, pickled veggies, & a drizzle of creamy gochujang aioli. If lettuce wraps aren't your thing, you're still in good hands here – refer to the blog post, above, for other serving ideas (everything from rice bowls to tacos!). A light dinner with deliciously bold Korean-inspired flavor...this grilled chicken bulgogi was an instant favorite here at the PWWB House, & we think you'll love it too. ♡ Happy cooking!
