Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Marinade
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Rice Base
- 2 cups cooked rice
For the Sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
For the Vegetables and Garnish
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated evenly. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Cook chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. The chicken should be browned and tender.
- Make sauce: While the chicken cooks, in a separate bowl, whisk together gochujang, heavy cream, and honey until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy, spicy sauce.
- Stir-fry vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables directly into the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir-fry the mixture for approximately 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and heated through.
- Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the gochujang cream sauce generously over the top.
- Garnish: Finish each bowl by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the dish for added flavor, texture, and visual appeal. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or plain Greek yogurt.
- You can use jasmine or brown rice depending on your preference for added nutrition.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spiciness of the sauce.
- Adding a splash of lime juice before serving can add a fresh, tangy contrast.
- Use other vegetables such as snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms based on availability.
