How to cook it · about 45 minutes
- Start the rice.
- Mix the marinade: gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cut the chicken into 1-1/2-inch pieces and toss it in, then let it sit at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
- If using rice cakes, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften.
- Peel the sweet potato, halve it lengthwise and slice 1/4 inch thick. Cut the cabbage into 2-inch pieces, the onion into thick slices and the green onions into 2-inch lengths.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wide pot over medium-high. Add the sweet potato and cabbage, then the chicken and all its marinade on top, and the drained rice cakes.
- Cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato is tender when poked. Add a splash of water if anything sticks.
- Stir in the onion, green onions and torn perilla leaves for the last 3 minutes. For cheese dakgalbi, push everything to the edges, pile the mozzarella in the middle, cover and cook 2 minutes until melted.
- Serve from the pan with the rice. In Korea the last scrapings get fried with rice and a little sesame oil in the same pan.
