Our favorite Korean ingredients are doing double time in this dish. While gochujang paste spices up the dressing and also flavors the chicken, kimchi is busy building the vinaigrette with its pickling juice and then topping off the whole shebang. Whether you’re making it for dinner or packing it for lunch, this rice bowl is going to be a hit.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Top with diced avocado for a fresh and creamy garnish.
  • tip 2
    Using the kimchi juice in the vinaigrette is similar to the pickleback method, where you use pickling liquid from regular pickles as an acidic base for vinaigrettes, marinades, etc. This kimchi vinaigrette would taste delicious drizzled over cooked eggs, added to sauces and soups, or any number of dishes.
