Description

A flavorful dish of juicy chicken thighs marinated in gochujang served over fluffy white rice with fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Cooked White Rice
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Grated Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
  • 1 cup Steamed Broccoli
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well blended.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear each thigh for about 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. Activate the Sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve: Allow the chicken to rest briefly before slicing. Serve it over cooked rice and top with veggies, thickened sauce, and garnishes.

Notes

  • This dish can be adjusted for spice by modifying the amount of gochujang used.
  • For a healthier variant, add more vegetables or serve with brown rice.
