Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If there are leftovers, shred the chicken and toss with the sauce and slaw for a spin on Chinois salad that will make a great lunch the next day.
  • tip 2
    Gochujang is a spicy Korean condiment. This dark red paste is usually made from red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, salt and sometimes a sweetener such as sugar. It is traditionally used in various dishes such as bibimbap, tteokbokki, or also in salads, stews, soups and marinated dishes.
  • tip 3
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
