Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch or flour
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3-4 tablespoons Gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 3 green onions chopped, plus more for serving
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 ears corn kernels, removed from cob
  • 2 medium shallots sliced or chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeded (if desired) and chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 3 cups steamed white or brown rice
  • yum yum sauce and sesame seeds for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • In a glass jar, combine the soy sauce, 3 tablespoons Gochujang, ketchup, ginger, 2 cloves garlic, and 1/4 cup water.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and brown all over until it becomes crispy, about 5 minutes. Pour in the Gochujang sauce mix. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the sauce coats the chicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the green onions, then remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, make the corn. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, corn, shallots, remaining 2-3 cloves garlic, the jalapeño, and season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 minutes or until the corn is golden. Stir in the cilantro. Remove from the heat.
  • To serve, divide the rice among bowls and top with chicken and corn. Serve with additional green onions, cilantro, and yum yum sauce (recipe below). Enjoy!
