About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 2 chicken thighs
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp honey
- rice
- green onions
- fried onions
Gochujang Broth
- 2 tbsp gochujang
- 1 3/10 cup coconut milk
- 2 garlic
- 0.5 chicken stock cube
- 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
- 2 tsp brown sugar
Instructions
- 1Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper.
- 2Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a thin layer of oil, and fry the chicken thighs until a golden crust forms, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- 3Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest while you prepare the glaze.
- 4In the same skillet, add soy sauce, water, mirin, honey, and the 1 tbsp brown sugar; stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens into a sticky glaze.
- 5Return the chicken to the pan, coat it with the glaze, and cook an additional 2 minutes, then remove and slice the thighs into bite‑size strips.
- 6To make the gochujang broth, combine gochujang, coconut milk, garlic cloves, chicken stock cube, smoked paprika, and 2 tsp brown sugar in a blender; blend until smooth.
- 7Heat a saucepan over medium‑low heat, melt a small knob of butter, and pour in the blended broth; warm gently for 3–4 minutes, ensuring it does not boil.
- 8While the broth simmers, cook the rice according to package instructions (typically 10‑12 minutes).
- 9Divide the cooked rice into two serving bowls.
- 10Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the rice, then ladle the hot coconut‑gochujang broth around the chicken.
- 11Garnish each bowl with a handful of fried onions and curled green onions: thinly slice the green onions lengthwise, soak in ice water for 10 minutes, then drain and scatter.
- 12Serve immediately while hot.
