Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Marinade
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Gochujang Cream Sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
For the Bowl
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with soy sauce and sesame oil. Let it marinate for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Prepare the Gochujang Cream Sauce: In a separate bowl, mix together gochujang, heavy cream, and honey until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy spicy sauce.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan with the chicken and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, approximately 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice between serving bowls. Top with the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture. Drizzle generously with the Gochujang cream sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the bowls for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to taste depending on your spice preference.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian-friendly option.
- For additional flavor, serve this dish with a side of kimchi or pickled vegetables.
- Use jasmine or short-grain rice for an authentic texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
