Ingredients:
600g chicken thigh, 0.5 - 1 cm wide strips
1 onion, sliced
2 small carrots, thinly sliced
5 Tbsp (75g) gochujang (korean chilli paste)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp (15g) dark brown sugar (or honey or maple syrup)
2 Tbsp sesame oil
Optional:
1 Tbsp Korean spicy noodle sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp white pepper
a pinch of roasted white sesame
Methods:
In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, onion, carrot, gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and any optional ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and spread it evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally after the 1st minute.
Reduce heat to low, and cook covered for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Uncover, stir occasionally and cook until the sauce thickens. For a deeper caramelised flavour, stir less frequently to let the chicken slightly char.
Sprinkle some roasted white sesame and serve with rice, or lettuce leaves for wrapping.
