Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
  • Add the sliced chicken and yellow onions to the bowl, tossing thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated in the marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the marinated chicken mixture to the skillet in a single layer.
  • Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow caramelization, then stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
