Ingredients

• Chicken thighs - 400 grams
• Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (sliced) - 2 stalks
• Cauliflower rice - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt to taste.
5. In another skillet, heat a little sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked and caramelized.
6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and toss in sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve the spicy chicken over a bed of cauliflower rice, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
