Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring cup
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water until smooth to form the sauce.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the browned chicken, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier results.
  • Adjust gochujang to taste for more or less heat.
  • Slice green onions thinly for a delicate garnish.
