Instructions

  1. FOR THE CHICKEN: In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, cilantro, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger and garlic. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally.

  3. FOR THE KIMCHI: Heat sesame oil in small skillet over medium high heat. Add kimchi and sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until caramelized and heated through, about 3-5 minutes; set aside.
  4. FOR THE BOWLS: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions.
  5. Divide rice into bowls. Top with chicken, kimchi, cabbage, carrots, avocado, cilantro and eggs, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
