Add 1 ½ cups long grain white rice and 3 cups water to medium pot. Bring to boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 min. Fluff with a fork. Meanwhile, continue to prepare toppings.

Grate 2 carrots on large holes of box grater. Add to small bowl with 1 tsp sesame oil and ⅛ tsp salt. Set aside.

Heat skillet on medium-high. Add 6 oz baby spinach, 1 tsp sesame oil, and ⅛ tsp kosher salt. Cover, cook 2 min, then stir until wilted. Transfer to small bowl.

Recipe Notes

  • Use instant rice or already-cooked rice, buy grated carrots, or make it a meatless meal and skip cooking the chicken and use the sauce on extra veggies instead. Alternately, use any leftover protein in the bowls — just season with gochujang and soy sauce!

  • Sliced cucumbers, sauteed mushrooms, and shredded cabbage all make delicious additions.

  • Double the veggies, and use leftovers over salad greens for a quick lunch — the marinade makes a delicious dressing!

  • Gluten-Free: Replace soy sauce with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce, such as Kikkoman Gluten-Free.

  • Egg-Free: Omit.

  • Vegetarian: Replace chicken with 1 (12 oz) block extra firm tofu. Drain and press with paper towels to remove as much water as possible. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
