Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken pieces to the skillet, searing for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for 5–7 minutes until it thickens and coats the chicken.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning by adding more honey for sweetness or gochujang for extra heat.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice, noodles, or alongside stir-fried vegetables.
