Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, excess fat trimmed
  • 2/3 cup dry jasmine rice, cooked according to package directions (124 grams)
  • 2 cups Mother-in-Law's House Kimchi (448 grams)
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced thinly (200 grams)
  • 1 large avocado, diced (150 grams)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Gochujang Sauce (4 fl oz)

Bulgogi Marinade

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (2 fl oz)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (27 grams)
  • 2 tbsp mirin (1 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (0.5 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (0.5 fl oz)
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger (0.5 fl oz)
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced (8 grams)

Instructions

  • Add all marinade ingredients to a jar and shake until oil has emulsified. Pour over chicken thighs in a resealable airtight container and toss until chicken is evenly coated. Cover and set aside in refrigerator for at least 30 mins or up to overnight.
  • Pre-heat grill to 400°F. Generously oil the grill grates to prevent sticking, then add marinated chicken thighs, allowing excess marinade to drip off before placing on the grill. Grill for approx. 6 minutes per side or until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken thigh reaches 165°F.
  • Assemble the bowls by layering rice, kimchi, cucumbers, avocado, and sliced chicken in the bowl. Top with Creamy Gochujang Sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

The overall spice level of this dish is mild as written, but can be made spicier depending on the kimchi you use.
