Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 cups white rice
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 scallions, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cook the 2 cups of white rice according to package instructions and set aside.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, 1 tablespoon gochujang, and honey. Add salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

Step 3

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining gochujang with rice vinegar and a splash of water to make the bibimbap sauce, then set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add another splash of sesame oil and quickly sauté the spinach until just wilted. Season with salt and set aside.

Step 7

In separate small piles, sauté the carrot and bean sprouts for about 2-3 minutes each until tender but still crisp. Do not mix them together. Set aside.

Step 8

Fry the eggs sunny side up in a pan and set aside.

Step 9

To assemble bibimbap: Place a serving of rice in each bowl. Arrange the chicken, spinach, carrot, cucumber, and bean sprouts around the edges of the bowl, leaving the center open.

Step 10

Place a fried egg in the center of each bowl.

Step 11

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions over the top.

Step 12

Drizzle a spoonful of the bibimbap sauce over everything and serve with additional sauce on the side.
