Gochujang Chicken with Rice
Ingredients
For approximately 1 lb of chicken:
- 1 lb chicken
- Cooked rice
- Water or broth, as required by your pressure cooker
- A little oil for the baking sheet
Sauce
- 1–2 tbsp gochujang, depending on your heat preference
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
- 2 tsp rice vinegar, another mild vinegar, or lime juice
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- 2 minced garlic cloves or ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp water
Directions
- Pressure-cook the chicken. Use your cooker's instructions for frozen chicken of that cut and size, including the required amount of water or broth. Check that the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Mix the sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl while the chicken cooks.
- Drain and cut the chicken. Once fully cooked, remove it from the pressure cooker, drain well, and shred or cut into chunks.
- Add the sauce now. Toss the cooked chicken with the sauce. The sauce goes on after pressure-cooking and before broiling.
- Broil. Spread the coated chicken on a lightly oiled, broiler-safe metal baking sheet. Broil for approximately 3–5 minutes, watching closely, until the edges brown and the sauce becomes sticky.
- Serve. Spoon the chicken and glaze from the baking sheet over the basmati rice.
Optional Toppings
- A fried egg
- Sesame seeds
- Kimchi or pickles
