  6. Cover again with plastic wrap, return to the microwave, and cook for an additional 12 minutes until the potatoes and meat are fully cooked through.
  1. In a large bowl, combine the boneless chicken, vegetables, and seasonings such as gochujang, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and mix well.
  2. Cover with plastic wrap, poke holes, and microwave for 12 minutes first.
  3. Remove, stir in minced garlic, then microwave for another 12 minutes to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding a little cooking oil to the seasoning prevents the chicken from drying out and gives it a glossy sheen; you can omit it if you prefer a cleaner taste.
  • When the potatoes are tender and a chopstick goes through easily, the meat is also fully cooked, so feel free to enjoy.
  • Adding garlic from the beginning may cause its flavor to dissipate, so adding it during the middle cooking stage is the secret to maximizing its aroma.
