bowls / mains / dairy free / gluten free / quick meals
This Gochujang Korean BBQ sauce makes for a sweet and spicy chicken over pan-fried crispy rice and roasted broccolini.
This is a sheet-pan meal the whole family is going to love. What I love doing is making a big batch of rice and keep it in the refrigerator, and when I want to use it, I put it in a pan with a little bit of water to revive it. For this dish, one the rice is revived, I add some oil to the pan and push it down real flat. I cook it untouched for a few minutes so get some crispiness to it, and its so delicious.
Gochujang is a sweet and spicy Korean BBQ sauce. It’s such a awesome alternative to original BBQ sauce we know and love. It has a bit more of a kick and is a little tangier. It’s perfectly paired with sesame seeds and some scallions to give a little Asian flair to this dish.
