Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)

- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 15 oz / 450g ground turkey
- 6 tbsp chives (chopped)
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Mix until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.
- Drizzle a large skillet with sesame oil. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.

Notes
Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer chili flakes. Serve with pickled vegetables for a more authentic Korean experience.
