Cooking Steps
- Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, chicken broth concentrate, half the Moo Shu Spice Blend and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Cut bok choy into 1/2-inch pieces. Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any dirt.
- Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Cut cucumber into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- To a small bowl, add gochujang, miso broth concentrate, 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Stir to combine.
- To a medium microwaveable bowl, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) sugar and a pinch of salt. (NOTE: This is your pickling liquid.)
- Microwave in 15 sec increments, stirring between each, until sugar dissolves. Add cucumbers, then stir to combine.
- Place in fridge to cool.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add sesame seeds to the dry pan. Toast for 1-2 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water, then cover and cook for 2-3 min, until tender-crisp.
- Add bok choy and cook for 1-2 mins, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the pan over medium-high.
- While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Moo Shu Spice Blend.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Cook on one side for 3-4 min, until browned. Flip chicken, then cover and continue cooking for 5-7 min.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then add gochujang sauce mixture and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through.**
- To the rice, add veggies, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, half the sesame seeds and half the green onions. Fluff rice with a fork and stir to combine.
- Thinly slice chicken.
- Divide rice between plates.
- Top with chicken and spoon remaining sauce over top.
