Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk gochujang, honey, soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add chicken and cook, stirring often, until edges turn golden and no pink remains, ~7 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in gochujang glaze, stir to coat, and cook for 2 minutes until sauce clings to chicken.

  5. Step 5

    Push chicken to the side, crack eggs into the pan, cover, and cook 2–3 minutes until whites set but yolks jiggle.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls, top with glazed chicken and a soft egg, tear nori on top, and serve hot.
