instructions
    1

    Start by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. This helps it cook quickly and evenly.

    2

    In a bowl, beat the eggs and set them aside.

    3

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow it to heat for about 1 minute.

    4

    Add the sliced chicken to the skillet in a single layer and let it sear for about 2-3 minutes without stirring. This browns the chicken nicely.

    5

    Once the chicken is almost cooked through, add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

    6

    Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the chicken, and stir well to coat. Add pepper to taste.

    7

    Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble them gently, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until they are set.

    8

    Mix the scrambled eggs into the chicken, breaking them into smaller pieces.

    9

    Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the stir-fry. Stir everything well and cook for an additional 1 minute.

    10

    Serve hot over steamed rice or on its own. Enjoy your delicious Dakgogi wa Gyeran Bokkeum!
