Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but doesn’t smoke, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of sliced chicken breast to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Incorporate sliced bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  5. Mix together 3 tablespoons of gochujang, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey in a bowl.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
