1. Bulgogi-Marinated Chicken
In a bowl, mix gochujang paste, rice mirin, black pepper, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, corn syrup, gochugaru, and sesame oil. Add the boneless chicken thighs to the marinade and mix well. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Grill or pan-fry the marinated chicken until fully cooked and nicely charred, about 6-8 minutes per side. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
2. Korean Coleslaw
In a large bowl, combine shredded carrots, red cabbage, napa cabbage, and green onion. In a separate bowl, mix cilantro, gochugaru, honey, Thai green pepper, garlic, rice wine vinegar, light soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss the dressing with the vegetables and mix well.
3. Garlic Herb Peanuts (Garnish)
In a small bowl, combine unsalted peanuts with olive oil, minced garlic, curry powder, gochugaru, and a pinch of salt. Toast in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Assemble the Baos
Steam the bao buns according to package instructions. Fill each steamed bun with a portion of the Bulgogi-marinated chicken. Top the chicken with a generous amount of Korean coleslaw.

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
Chef Esther takes on one of the trendiest dish in Korea — steak doep bap — which literally translates to 'steak on rice'. The dish consists of a well-seasoned rice bowl topped with thinly sliced strips of teriyaki-marinated flank steak, asparagus, and onion. Drizzle with even more teriyaki sauce and a cool, creamy sesame dressing to enjoy the best possible flavor and texture.
