1

Prepare ingredients: 300 grams of boneless skinless chicken breast and 300 grams of chicken thighs.

2

Pop the chicken in the freezer to make it easier to mince later.

3

Thinly slice green onions, separating the whites from the greens.

4

Finely dice a quarter of an onion.

5

Smash and finely chop 5 cloves of garlic.

6

Grate about one teaspoon of ginger.

7

Thinly slice some chili peppers for color.

8

In a small container, mix 2 tablespoons of curry and chili pepper flakes, 3 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of mirin to make the sauce.

9

In another small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of curry and chili pepper flakes, 1.5 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, 0.5 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of fish sauce for the dressing.

10

Take the chicken from the freezer and finely mince it.

11

In a wok or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat.

12

Add the minced chicken to the pan, spreading it out and leaving it for about 2 minutes until browned on the bottom.

13

Flip the chicken and stir-fry for about 4 minutes until cooked and most liquid has evaporated.

14

Add the white parts of the green onions, diced onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan, stirring for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

15

Pour in the sauce and stir for about 2 more minutes, tasting and adding salt as needed.

16

Turn off the heat and add the remaining green onions, chili peppers, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, mixing well.

17

Tear chicory into bite-sized pieces and toss with the dressing gently to avoid bruising the greens.

18

Assemble the dish by placing rice on a serving plate, topping with the chicken stir-fry and salad, and finishing with a soft boiled egg and toasted sesame seeds.
