    This is delicious and authentic tasting! Have made two times now. My son wasn’t super keen on the stickiness of Jasmine rice the first time round, so I swapped it out for American long grain rice the second time we made it.

    I live in the US so am wondering if chilli powder if the same. Should the chilli powder used be a blend of spices or just ground chile like cayenne?

    very tasty, my gochujang was quite spicy, so adjust measures accordingly for a more milder taste

    We had this for lunch at work today and it was so delicious. I cooked the chicken in the air fryer and later added the sauce on the hob and cooked for a few minutes until thickened. The addition of broccoli to the rice makes it healthier

    I used half the gochujang - I guess it depends on the quality of your product. absolutely delicious.

    okay some ideas: 1. maybe limit the lime juice to 1-2 tablespoons rather than all the juice from 2 limes the sauce can be come too liquidy 2. the broccoli mixed in with the rice is a nice touch, consider adding it in 5 mins before it’s finished if you don’t want it as crunchy.

    Hey Poppy! These recipes are designed for a week of lunch boxes, but you can always freeze the cooked chicken separately and cook the rice fresh.

    I made this dish and it was really yummy. I actually just prepped the chicken and then made rice and a veggie side later. it wasn't too spicy but had lots of flavour. I found the cooking time perfect but did cut my thighs in quite small chunks will definitely make again!

    I like the chicken but personally I don’t like it with the broccoli. Will probably make the chicken again (I did it with less chilli and gochujang), but maybe not with the broccoli rice.

    Rice should be started from the beginning then put aside as and when its ready throughout the process.

    Do you think the sauce would work well with fried tofu?

    I made it with tofu, worked great. Instead of flour I used corn starch and put everything in an air fryer. Just make sure to make a little extra sauce

    Flavour bomb 💣 Chicken was delicious - make sure you have a decent gochujang paste like O Food for the maximum flavour. Like others have said, the chicken needs longer than the recipe time. We served it with plain jasmine rice and steamed sugar snap peas.

    I will definitely half the chilli/paste for next attempt but otherwise great recipe.
