Korean Galbi Spicy Chicken

Galbi is stir-fried meat with some vegetables served in Korean restaurants. It is always uses beef, pork or chicken quickly marinated in spicy sauce consisting of ginger, garlic, and Korean hot sauce. I have an easy galbi chicken recipe to share here, which could be the best Galbi recipe.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cabbage, cut into 1/2 inch thick strips
1/2 white onion cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 carrot, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4 inch slices
5 green onions, cut into 3-inch piece
4 dried shitake mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes, drained, stems discarded, thinly sliced
3 tbs sesame oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp salt
Marinade:
2 tsp red pepper powder
2 tsp Korean hot pepper paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch knob fresh ginger, minced
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp miso paste
1 tsp honey or corn syrup
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs mirin (sweet cooking wine)
1/2 tsp black pepper
Garnish with fresh bean sprouts and 1 tbs roasted sesame seeds (optional)
Serve with steamed rice

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl to combine. Add chicken pieces and mix well.

Cover with plastic warp and refrigerate for 1 hour. Bring the chicken out in room temperature for 15 minutes before starting to cook.
In a nonstick frying pan, add sesame oil over high heat and add the marinated chicken.

 Continue to cook the chicken for 5 minutes then add the chicken broth. Add shitake mushrooms, carrots, cabbage and white onions.

Stir-fry for another 5 minutes or until everything is fully cooked. Throw in the green onions and mix well.

Transfer to a large plate or individual serving plate.
