Mix Gochujang and next 7 ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. If you have time, leave sauce mixture in refrigerator for overnight.

Pour 1/4 of sauce into meat and mix it well, set aside while preparing vegetables.

Arrange vegetables first on a large serving plate, then add marinated chicken on very top and pour remaining sauce. Add sesame oil and seeds as much as you want right before serving or cooking.

Heat a large skillet (I recommend 14 inch), add oil, swirl to coat; add vegetables, chicken and sauce (Everything!) into hot skillet. Cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken cooked through and vegetables are soft.

Serve with lettuce, ssamjang (Korean thick, spicy dipping paste), sliced chili peppers and garlic to wrap all food together.

If you have a little leftover sauce and vegetables on the skillet, don't wash it out! Turn the heat back on, add fried rice ingredients to skillet and mix with all the leftover sauce! It will be the best fried rice you've ever had!
