Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until they are pliable.
- To assemble, place a spoonful of chopped kimchi on each tortilla. Top with sliced grilled chicken, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
- For an extra kick, drizzle sriracha sauce over the top to taste.
- Serve the kimchi tacos immediately, garnished with additional cilantro and green onions if desired.
