Korean Ground Chicken Bowls

About This Recipe

Korean Ground Chicken made with lean ground chicken mixed with broccoli, carrots, onions, and ginger. It is flavored with a sauce made of gojuchang, syrup, soy sauce, chicken broth, and garlic.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground chicken (97/3) (ground turkey will also work)
• 1 tbsp oil
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp gochujang
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp chicken stock (or broth)
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2½ cups cooked rice
• 1½ cups matchstick carrots
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tbsp minced ginger
• 1 medium green pepper
• 12 oz broccoli (fresh is preferred for this recipe)
• 1 tbsp oil

Instructions

1. Cook enough rice to have 2½ cups of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make around 2-3 cups of cooked rice depending on what kind you use.
2. Cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium high heat with a bit of oil. Give it a chance to brown before you break it up and mix/flip it. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. While the chicken is cooking you can prepare your sauce and cut your vegetables. Mix the soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, chicken stock, garlic, and maple syrup.
4. Once the chicken has finished cooking, pour in the sauce and stir to coat.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare all of your vegetables. Cut your onion into thin slices, the broccoli into small florets, green pepper into a large dice and the ginger into a mince. If you don't buy the pre cut carrots you will need to cut them into matchsticks as well.
6. Heat a large pot over medium high heat and add a bit of oil. Add in the onion, peppers, and ginger and allow to develop color. After a couple of minutes add in the carrots and broccoli. It may help speed up the cooking process to add a splash of water and cover the pot to steam the carrots and broccoli. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
7. Once the vegetables have finished, add in the chicken and stir to combine.
8. This recipe makes 5 servings. Add ½ cup of rice to each dish and divide the chicken mixture evenly.
