Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 onion, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 carrot, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Splash of water or chicken broth (optional, to adjust sauce consistency)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Slice bell peppers, onions, and carrots into thin strips. Mince garlic and ginger.
  2. In a small bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and a splash of water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  3. Add vegetable oil to a wok or frying pan and heat over medium-high until shimmering.
  4. Add chicken pieces to the pan and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed and toss in garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add bell peppers, onions, and carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
  7. Return chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and veggies.
  8. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot with steamed white rice or noodles.

Notes

Adjust the spice level by reducing gochujang or adding more honey. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it up.
