Step 1
Whisk gochujang, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic in a bowl until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 4
Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides and no pink remains, 8–10 minutes.
Step 5
Pour sauce into the skillet and stir to coat all chicken pieces evenly.
Step 6
Add rice cakes and stir gently until coated in sauce and warmed through, 3–4 minutes.
Step 7
Scatter cheese cubes over the top and cook without stirring until cheese begins to melt, 2–3 minutes.
Step 8
Stir gently to combine melted cheese with chicken and rice cakes.
Step 9
Garnish with scallions and serve hot directly from the skillet.
