Ingredients Needed To make this high-protein Korean chicken and rice recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients: – 100g diced chicken breasts – 1 tablespoon ghee – 1 tablespoon soy sauce – 3 tablespoons Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub – 1 cup water – 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup – Corn slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) – 200g cooked rice
Marinate the Chicken The first step is to marinate your chicken. Combine 100g of diced chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of ghee, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub for marination. The Laajawab rub contains the perfect blend of spices, so no additional ingredients are necessary, not even salt. Allow the chicken to soak in the marinade for 10-15 minutes. This step infuses the chicken with robust flavours, making it a standout high-protein chicken meal.
Pan Fry the Chicken Next, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and pan fry until they are golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to cook the chicken pieces evenly for a delightful texture in the dish. Pan-frying the chicken helps retain its juices, making it both tender and flavourful.
Make the Glazy Korean Sauce For the sauce, take 1 cup of water and add 1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup and 1 tablespoon of Laajawab Hot & Sweet Chicken Rub. Heat this mixture over a low flame until it thickens. To achieve a creamy texture, add a corn slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water).
