Steps

1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the carrot and red bell pepper, chop the green onions, and wash the spinach.
