Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice cucumber.
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, and ½ tsp salt until sugar and salt are mostly dissolved (use 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings).
Add cucumber and toss to thoroughly combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken* and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and warmed through, 4-6 minutes.
Meanwhile, massage rice in package to separate grains. Transfer to a medium microwave-safe bowl and add 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
Once chicken is warmed through, remove pan from heat. Stir in bulgogi sauce until thoroughly coated.
Pick cilantro leaves from stems; roughly tear leaves.
Divide rice, bulgogi chicken, and pickled cucumber (draining first) between bowls in separate sections. Top chicken with crispy fried onions and as much spicy mayo as you like. Garnish with torn cilantro. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
The sauces were great. Only wish I knew how to make the bulgogi sauce myself so I can make it in the future. It was very helpful that the chicken was precooked and easy to break into chunks. The cucumber vinegar was a great touch and will be adding it to other recipes. I liked the mix of flavors with the bulgogi, the vinegar and the spicy mayo.
Sooo good! It was quick and easy and the combinations of the sweet and sour cucumbers with the bulgogi sauce chicken was perrrfect. And the crunchy onions?! So.👏 Good.👏 And lastly, the microwaveable rice🤌 talk about making everything easy. Made me wish all the dishes containing rice would be substituted with microwaveable rice. I would get this again. I think I could eat it everyday without complaining lol
I'm not a fan of microwaved rice and I didn't care for the chopped chicken for some reason. The flavors were on point tho, and I enjoyed the combination of the pickled cucumbers and the spicy mayo with the fried onions.
I loved this meal! Mini cucumber with vinegar reminded me of my childhood. I omitted the spicy mayo. Cannot eat spicy. I also put soy sauce on the rice! Was a perfect meal.😃💕🦉
This is now a favorite and especially because it is so quick to make and so flavorful. I loved the microwave rice, but the pickled cucumber and everything was spot on. YUM!!!!
I wasn't sure about the sticky rice already cooked and just needed heating, or the pickled cucumber as a side, but the dish was excellent.! Quick, easy, tasty.
I'm a HUGE fan of Korean food and eat a lot of authentic Korean food. This was really good and I loved the cucumbers on the side, it added a fresh crunch that I really enjoyed.
I loved the quick pickles in this meal, why have I never thought to make them? Will order this meal again. I'd give it a ten if I could.
The chicken was extremely tender. The flavors of this meal matched with texture of convenience was astounding. Please continue doing this meal.
Include a more nutritious veggie. Cucumber was great but would have been a nice chopped topping on the chicken. Love the flavors though and how easy it was to put together!
