«I, too, have become obsessed with sheet-pan dinners,» says Rach. This one is made with chicken, zucchini and a sweet-spicy fermented chili paste/sauce called gochujang—a Korean cooking staple. A fun thing she occasionally likes to do with these dinners is make a crunchy topping to lend different textures and flavors. Here, she tops the dish with a crispy, spicy cucumber and radish salad and the result is, as Rach puts it, «wildly filled with flavor.» It’s a must-try!
Shopping Tip: Look for gochujang in a tub, jar or squeeze bottle in the international aisle or order online. (Rach likes this one: Bibigo Gochujang.)
