Chap Goh Mei

It was my first time celebrating Chap Goh Mei here. We usually have a gathering among family and relatives on this special night while enjoying nice dinner at a restaurant back at home. Since I'm away from home, following my DH, we just had a simple dinner together - fried noodles (wet chao mein) and dak bulgogi (Korean BBQ chicken). He was working yesterday so we only managed to celebrate it at around 9pm. It is actually not really healthy having dinner late at night but yesterday was exceptional for us ;)



Chicken bulgogi is adapted from Closet Cooking. I just pan fried the marinated chicken with a bit of oil and some of the marinade. You have to make sure that the pan is not too hot as the meat will get burn easily. The meat cooks very quickly cause it is sliced thinly and the sugar content will cause some browning. You may also adjust the soy sauce and red pepper sauce (gochujang) to your liking. If you don't like it to be too salty then reduce the soy sauce. If you don't like to be too spicy then reduce the gochujang sauce. Garnish the chicken with some toasted sesame, spring onion and some chopped chilli and voila...
