Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) tender and juicy
  • ⅓ cup gochujang adds heat and depth
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce for umami flavor
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil provides richness
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar adds sweetness
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced brings aroma and taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated adds warmth and spice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar for a touch of acidity

For the Bowl

  • 3 cups cooked jasmine or short-grain white rice serves as a base
  • 1 cup shredded carrots for crunch and color
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber fresh and crisp
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage adds color and texture
  • ¾ cup cooked edamame (optional) provides protein
  • ½ cup kimchi (optional) adds tang and spice
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish for texture and flavor
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish adds freshness

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by preparing the chicken. If using thighs, trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir until well blended.
  • Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Allow marinating for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken, spreading it out evenly.
  • Occasionally turn the chicken pieces to ensure they are evenly browned and cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat and let it rest briefly.

Assembly

  • Assembly starts with a base of jasmine or short-grain rice in each serving bowl.
  • Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the bowls on top of the rice.
  • Add shredded carrots, slices of cucumber, and shredded purple cabbage around the chicken.
  • If using edamame and kimchi, sprinkle them over the top.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Ideal to reheat in a skillet over low heat.
