Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast into strips. Place the strips in a non-metallic bowl or a Ziploc bag.
  • Combine the gochujang paste, soy sauce, apricot jam, sesame oil, gochugaru, fish sauce, and rice vinegar.
  • Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken and mix well. Marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
  • Bring the chicken to room temperature before cooking, about 30 minutes on the counter should be fine.
  • Finely slice the green onions. Set aside.
  • Cook the gochujang chicken strips in two batches.
  • Heat ½ of the oil in a large nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet. Place ½ of the chicken strips in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes without moving. Flip the chicken and cook for another minute or until cooked through. Remove from the pan.
  • Pour the remaining oil into the pan and cook the second batch of chicken strips. Return the first batch of chicken to the pan.
  • Add ⅔ of the sliced green onions to the pan. Stir fry for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle the gochujang chicken with the remaining green onions and the sesame seeds.

Notes

Use gochujang paste and gochugaru (red pepper flakes) according to taste/heat tolerance. Gochujang paste can be mild, medium, or very hot, adjust the quantity accordingly.
