Spicy-sweet glazed thighs with broccoli and rice.

High-proteinMethod in Pro

Gochujang brings heat, sweetness and a deep fermented savour all at once, so the glaze needs only honey, soy and a splash of vinegar. The thighs are seared hard first so the glaze has something to cling to. Broccoli steams in the same pan.

Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Chicken

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into large pieces

  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Tips

  • Gochujang varies in heat between brands; start with less if yours is labelled hot.
  • Add the glaze off high heat; the honey scorches quickly.
