This spicy Korean BBQ chicken rice bowl is a tasty, easy-to-make, hot summer dinner that can be whipped up in no time! The chicken is bold in flavor, while the crisp veggies help balance the bowl and keep each bite refreshing.

Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken Rice Bowl

gochujang ((Korean fermented red pepper paste))

sugar ((or

garlic

Tablespoon oil (,

Tablespoon gochugaru (coarse) ((Korean dry red pepper flakes))

Tablespoon toasted sesame oil

salt

black pepper ((optional))

chicken

white rice (,

head romaine lettuce (,

carrot

english cucumber (, washed and sliced)

avocado (, sliced)

⅓ red onion (, thinly sliced (optional))

Toasted sesame seed (, for garnish (optional))

In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade, except for the chicken. Taste the marinade to see if you&#39;d like it sweeter, spicier, or more salted.

Once satisfied with the marinade flavor, add the chicken thighs and mix until the chicken is well coated with the marinade. Set aside until ready to cook.*The marinade can be made a week ahead of time and the chicken can be marinaded up to 3-4 days ahead of time, as long it&#39;s properly stored and refrigerated.*

In a large fry pan, add a couple Tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and starts to shimmer, place the marinated chicken thighs in the pan piece by piece to give each piece a good char and sear. DO NOT overcrowd the pan! Let the marinated chicken cook on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are cooked through (165°F). Remove the the cooked chicken, along with all the juices and repeat until all marinated chicken are cooked.*Cooking time for the chicken will vary depending on the size of each piece of chicken and how cold they are.*

For the marinade and chicken:

Arrange the rice (or your preferred grain), romaine lettuce, carrots, cucumber, avocado, and cooked chicken in 4 bowls. Top each bowl with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and enjoy while the rice and chicken are hot!

To assemble the bowl:

Deli Style Pasta Salad

macaroni noodles, 454 g

Carrots, 1

Dill Pickles, 1

Red Onions, 1/2

Salt,

Kewpie mayo, 200 g

Dijon Mustard, 20 g

Lemon juice, 1/4 lemon

Garlic Powder, a sprinkle

Sugar, a spoonful

MSG, a sprinkle

Boil the pasta

Add your pasta to a pot of boiling, salted water. Overcook the pasta by 3 or 4 minutes longer than the package instructions suggest. This overcooking allows the pasta to maintain a perfect chewy texture when cooled for the salad, instead of just hardening.

Once the pasta is cooked, strain it and spread it onto a baking sheet to cool.

For an extra touch, consider mixing in a couple of spoonfuls of pickle liquid to the pasta so it absorbs some of that flavor.

While the pasta cools for about 30 minutes, you can use this time to prepare everything else.

Prepare the vegetables & the dressing

Dice your onion, carrot, and celery finely. Mince the dill pickle (it serves as an aromatic in this recipe).

Next, combine the mayo, mustard, lemon juice, sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and MSG in a bowl and mix until well blended.

Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. The flavor should be powerful as it will season the pasta and vegetables.

Assemble & serve

In a large bowl or container, mix cooked pasta, vegetables, and dressing until everything is evenly coated. You can adjust the amount of dressing to your preference.

For best results, let the mac salad rest in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. It tastes even better if left overnight. Enjoy

In my opinion, pasta salad is one of the most underrated weeknight meals. Not only can it be made ahead of time, but it's completely customizable with whatever you have in the fridge.
