Ingredients
Directions
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, chopped
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons gochujang, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Add the Sauce
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken.
Step 4: Serve
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter (or bowl) with over cooked with rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
