1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:

2️⃣ Make the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, stir together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and water. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Toss in the cooked chicken and stir to coat.

In a bowl, spoon ½ cup cooked rice. Top with sticky gochujang chicken, fried egg, green onions, and sesame seeds.
