Korean Chicken Tacos a la Blue Apron


It's been fun scamming the Hello Fresh/Blue Apron system (getting free trial boxes of ingredients and recipes then canceling immediately) and although Hello Fresh has emerged as the winner in terms of cool recipes, this Blue Apron chicken came out tasty enough that I wanted to preserve it for future reference.

NOTE: Blue Apron thinks all humans eat about 1/4c of food per meal. Proportions are weird, but the recipe yielded enough sauce to coat about 2 chicken breasts, so up to you to determine the ratio of sauce to protein.


INGREDIENTS:

-10oz. chopped chicken breast
-4 tortillas
-1 lb. sweet potato
-1 tsp furikake (sesame seeds and seaweed)
-2 tbsp creme fraiche
-1/2 lb. cabbage

SAUCE:
-2 tbsp black bean sauce (SOOOOO GOOOOOOD)
-1 tbsp gochujang
-1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
-1/4 c sushi sauce

-cornstarch *I recommend adding some while you are cooking the sauce to nicely thicken it up


NUTRITION: 820cal per serving (2 servings total)


DIRECTIONS:

-Roast the sweet potatoes however you want at 450 and garnish with the furikake when done.
-Thinly slice the cabbage and drizzle with half the rice wine vinegar and some olive oil.
-Mix the sauce ingredients together, adding gochujang to taste (try it beforehand--I used about half of it! REALLY good...)
-Chop and cook without stirring to brown the chicken (I used a wok)
-Add the sauce and cook til the sauce is nice and thick (add the corn starch if you want)
-Serve your chicken in the tortillas smeared with creme fraiche (with a little salt sprinkled on it) as well as the cabbage. Stuff the sweet potatoes in there too if you want! Otherwise, just a nice side.
