Cut 250 g chicken thigh into 2 to 3 cm pieces and pat it dry. Cut 120 g cabbage, 100 g onion, and 50 g green onion to a similar size. Before heating the pan, combine 1.5 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sugar until no lumps of gochujang remain. Spread the chicken in a pan over medium-high heat and cook it for 2 to 3 minutes, turning the pieces as their surfaces become opaque and the edges lightly brown. Add the sauce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan as needed. Add the cabbage and onion for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the green onion for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and mix in 1 tbsp sesame oil. Divide the rice between two bowls and spoon the chicken and vegetables over it.
