Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli optional
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots optional

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
  4. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. To serve, place a scoop of cooked rice in a bowl, top with sliced chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with extra sauce from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
