Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 4 cups cooked rice (for serving)
  • 1 cup cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cooked edamame (shelled)
  • 1/2 cup kimchi (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, gochujang, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir well and toss in the chicken. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and cook marinated chicken until browned and cooked through, about 7–10 minutes.
  3. Prepare the rice: Ensure your rice is cooked and warm. Follow package instructions if needed.
  4. Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, place warm rice, top with chicken, cucumber, shredded carrots, and edamame. Add kimchi if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, drizzle more sesame oil or soy sauce before serving. Feel free to customize with different proteins or veggies.
