Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Cut 300g boneless chicken thigh into bite-size pieces.

    Thickly slice 120g onion and thinly slice 1 green onion.

  2. 2

    Mix 1.5 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp minced garlic to make the sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat, add the chicken thigh pieces, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

    Do not flip too often so the surface develops a golden-brown color.

  4. 4

    Add the julienned onion and stir-fry for 2 more minutes, then pour in the sauce and simmer over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes.

    The dish is done when the sauce forms a glossy glaze on the chicken.

  5. 5

    Divide 2 cups warm rice between bowls and top evenly with the chicken and sauce.

    Divide 3 tbsp mayonnaise between the bowls and drizzle it in a zigzag.

  6. 6

    Divide the sliced green onion evenly between the bowls and serve immediately.

    Mix the rice, chicken, and mayonnaise just before eating.

Tips

Spread the chicken thigh in a single layer so the surface browns evenly without releasing excess liquid.
Reduce the gochujang sauce over medium-low heat so the sugar and paste do not scorch.
