KOREAN CHICKEN TACOS
The inspiration for these Korean-style barbecue tacos came from the Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go truck in Los Angeles. The success of the snack inspired dozens of entrepreneurs in the late 2000s to open Korean taco businesses. The chef Tomas Lee, a native of Seoul, South Korea, who grew up in Mustang, Okla., was one. "I thought tacos might be a way to get Korean food on everybody's table," Mr. Lee said. This recipe is adapted from his Hankook Taqueria in Atlanta.

Steps:
- For marinating chicken: In a bowl (or sealable plastic bag) combine red pepper paste, vinegar, sugar and sesame oil. Add chicken and mix again. Cover (or seal) and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.
- For the vinaigrette: In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended.
- Prepare a grill or heat a large skillet. Grill or sauté chicken until golden brown on all sides and opaque in center; be careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and cut into 3/4-inch dice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine lettuce, cabbage, onion, scallions and cilantro. Toss with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette, or to taste. Place a tortilla on each of 6 serving plates. Place an equal portion of chicken on each tortilla, and top with a portion of salad. Sprinkle with cheese, garnish plate with a lime wedge.
