Cooking Steps
• In a medium pot, combine rice, 2 1⁄4 cups water (4 1⁄4 cups for 8 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; cut into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons. Halve, core, and dice green pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and dice onion into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• In a large bowl, combine cucumber, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 8 servings), and a pinch of salt. • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use in Step 5.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and onion. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add chicken and scallion whites; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes. (For 8 servings, you may need to work in batches.) • Stir in sweet soy glaze and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much gochujang as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • Drain any excess liquid from marinated cucumber. Stir in scallion greens, sesame seeds, and as many chili flakes as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Fluff rice with a fork. • Serve everything family style or divide between shallow bowls. • Plate it up: Divide rice between shallow bowls and top with sweet soy chicken and cucumber salad. Drizzle with gochujang mayo and serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Cucumbers were delicious, especially the spicy gochujang sauce 🥰 Very flavorful chicken over our favorite rice. A very satisfying meal. Would definitely order again!
Plenty for a third/fourth bowl. This was so good! Sweet and picked cucumber with a little spice blended so amazingly.
Very tasty! Easy and fast to prepare. Great portions for 2.
Very tasty. Easy to select how mild or spicy you want the meal. Pretty easy recipe.
This was a home run also. Accepting the vegetables. I think cucumber was kind of an inexpensive way out of having roasted green beans or asparagus with sesame seeds or something like that. Same regarding the green pepper I just don't think it added anything to the meal. I reserved half to the cucumber salad because I like them cold or raw over eaten cooked. I really enjoyed that.
Enjoyed the extra portions made a tasty lunch the next day!
Really enjoyed this one! Loved the flavors and four people can easily feast on this meal for two.
This was amazing!!! It tasted better than anything I would have got at a restaurant.
The sauce and rice were very good. The chicken had gristle in it and wasn't as good as other proteins.
This has to be the weirdest combination of flavors, but it is delightful!!!!
