Ingredients
Scale
- Chicken (breast or thighs)
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers)
- 2 cups short-grain white or jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the rice: Rinse your rice under cold water until it runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, using a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water. Fluff it with a fork once it’s tender and set aside.
- Fry the chicken: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and let it rest.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, deglaze with any remaining marinade, cooking until slightly thickened. Return the chicken and toss until it’s fully coated in the sauce.
- Assemble your bowls: Layer the rice in bowls, add sticky chicken, and top with sautéed vegetables. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Customize each bowl with variations like black beans or pickled vegetables. Consider using crispy tofu for a vegetarian option.
