👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Enzyme tenderizer: grated pear contains natural enzymes that tenderize poultry without making it stringy.
  • Protect probiotics: keep kimchi cold and eat alongside warm chicken to preserve beneficial live cultures.
  • Heat adjustment: cut gochujang to 1 tbsp if you prefer a sweeter, milder Korean glaze.
