Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, diced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup cooked wild rice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced chicken, soy sauce, and gochujang. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Cook the Rice: Prepare the white and wild rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, combine them in a large bowl and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading it out in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Combine with Rice: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice mixture to the skillet. Stir well to combine everything, allowing the rice to soak up some of the flavors from the chicken.
- Serve: Divide the spicy chicken and rice medley among four plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
