Instructions

Prep
Slice chicken breast into thin strips. Mince garlic. Shred cabbage and slice scallion. Soak rice cakes in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable.

Sauté
Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once, until no pink remains and edges brown lightly.

Simmer
Push chicken to one side, add garlic over medium heat for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, honey, and chicken stock with rice cakes. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
