instructions
    1

    Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chicken with soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    2

    While the chicken marinates, chop the green onions and mince the garlic.

    3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

    4

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    5

    Stir in the gochujang, mixing well to coat the chicken. Let it cook together for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

    6

    While the chicken is cooking, beat the eggs in a bowl, seasoning them with a pinch of salt.

    7

    Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add a little more oil to the empty side and pour the beaten eggs. Allow the eggs to cook for about 2 minutes, then scramble them until they are just set.

    8

    Mix the scrambled eggs with the chicken, and add the sesame oil and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

    9

    Serve hot over rice or on its own.

How to be creative
  • Try adding a splash of rice wine for more depth in flavor.
  • Substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version while keeping the marinade intact.
  • Serve with a side of kimchi to enhance the meal's authenticity and crunch.
Important Tips
  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for a richer flavor, but ensure they are cut into smaller pieces for even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your spice preference.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
