Ay, wow! hot korean chicken

Winter is the time for eating spicy. Such food warms you up and makes your nose running (which is healthy because all the viruses are eliminated). As my Chinese friend says, it creates the inner fire that keeps us healthy.

This is a slight modification of a Doejibulgogi which means "Spicy stir-fried pork". My modification would be called in some other way because I made it with chicken. Anyhow, this is all vain, what's important is that it's something spicy, delicious and super easy to make. Here's what you need:

Some chicken (I cooked 1 chicken breast), cut in 1 inch cubes
1-2 table spoons of hot pepper paste
1/3 of a chilli pepper
1 onion and 1 clove of garlic
Some green onions
Spices: pepper flakes, back pepper, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar
Sesame oil and seeds (I used olive oil and no seeds)
Lettuce

Now, it's amazing what will happen: chop finely onion and garlic, cut green onion and pepper in moderate pieces. Put the chicken in a bit of oil and add all vegetables in a frying pan, add hot pepper paste and all spices, mix everything and start frying on strong heat. In ~5 minutes the chicken should be ready! Serve it on lettuce leaves (in Korea they wrap pieces of meat in these leaves and eat) and kimchi and/or rice.
