Pak Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Chicken) Tacos with Spicy Slaw and Sriracha Aioli
- 2 cups distilled white vinegar
- 1/3 cup sugar or agave nectar
- 1/4 cup sambal oelek chile paste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 small head red cabbage, halved, cored and shredded
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar or agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chile paste)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 32 corn tortillas (if using handmade tortillas, you'll only need 16)
- 1 cup heavy-duty mayo (no wimpy stuff)
- 1/4 cup sriracha chile sauce, plus more if necessary
- Make the spicy slaw: Stir the vinegar, sugar, sambal oelek and salt together in a large bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the red cabbage, mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or (preferably) overnight.
- Marinate the chicken: Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, gochujang, ginger and sesame oil in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken strips and mix thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 1 hour or (preferably) overnight.
- Make the sriracha aioli: Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until combined.
- Taste for spiciness and add more sriracha if needed.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat, add the chicken and saute, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas in a griddle or wrapped in damp paper towels in the microwave.
- Place the warmed tortillas on plates (double them if using store-bought tortillas).
- Divide the sauteed chicken among the tortillas, top with sriracha aioli, and then some slaw.
