Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons gochujang for spicy, sweet base
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce for savory depth
– 1 teaspoon minced ginger for fresh, zesty warmth
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic for flavor enhancement
– 1 teaspoon caster sugar for sweetness
– 2 large skinless, boneless chicken thighs for tender, juicy protein
– Optional quick-cooking vegetables such as snow peas, bean sprouts, spring onions, bok choy, or sliced mushrooms for extra texture and color
– firm tofu for vegan option
Instructions
1-Getting gochujang chicken just right is simple with these steps, and the whole process takes under 15 minutes. Start by whisking together 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of caster sugar in a small bowl. This creates a flavorful sauce that ties everything together.
2-Next, slice 2 large skinless, boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces for even cooking. Heat a thin layer of neutral cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then add the chicken in a single layer and cook without moving for about 5 minutes until browned on one side.
3-Turn the pieces, reduce the heat slightly, and cook for 2 more minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, add any optional vegetables like snow peas or bok choy if youβre using them, and stir occasionally for 2 minutes as the sauce thickens. If it thickens too fast, add a splash of water to keep things going smoothly.
4-Prepare ingredients by slicing chicken and mixing the sauce.
5-Heat oil in the pan and brown the chicken on one side.
6-Flip and cook briefly before adding the sauce and veggies.
7-Stir and cook until the sauce coats everything evenly.
8-Ensure the chicken is fully cooked, then serve hot.
