HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with gochujang, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

02

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through.

03

Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.

04

Stir in the chopped kimchi and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

05

Uncover and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is fully cooked.

06

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot, preferably with steamed rice.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a drizzle of toasted sesame oil just before serving. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level. A sprinkle of sesame seeds also makes a nice garnish.

Easy Substitutions

Chicken breast can be used instead of thighs, but cook time may vary. For a vegetarian option, substitute firm tofu or tempeh for the chicken. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms during step 3.
