2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to keep things simple yet flavorful.
I use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Gochujang to create a sauce that’s both spicy and tangy.
For added protein, I like to add chopped scallions and cilantro on top.
Of course, you can always adjust the level of heat to your liking by adding more or less Gochujang.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup chopped scallions and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for an extra 5g protein and a fresh flavor.
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace soy sauce with coconut aminos and reduce the rice vinegar to 1 tsp for a lower-carb option.
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the chicken in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway, for a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
