Scale

Scale: 1x | 2x | 3x

  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

  • Green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  • Add the sliced chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

  • Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  • Add the bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

  • In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey.

  • Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.

  • Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and clings to the chicken.

  • Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Slice evenly: Thin, uniform chicken slices cook faster and stay tender.

  • Control the heat: Reduce gochujang for mild spice or add more for extra heat.

  • Don’t overcook vegetables: Keep them crisp for the best texture.

  • Make it a meal: Serve over steamed rice, jasmine rice, or noodles.
