Gochujang Ground Chicken Glass Noodle Skillet

Total Time30 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 7 ounces sweet potato glass noodles
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced (whites and greens separated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
  • toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, gochujang, garlic, ginger, chicken broth, and tapioca flour. Set aside.
  • Once the water has reached a boil, remove from heat and add the glass noodles. Let soak 8 minutes until pliable, stirring occasionally to make sure they don’t stick.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and salt cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  • Whisk the sauce once more to make sure it’s evenly combined, then pour into the skillet with the chicken and veggies. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring, until the chicken is well coated and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Drain the glass noodles and to the skillet. Toss until the noodles are well coated, about 3 minutes. You want the noodles to be tender and for the sauce to be glossy and cling to everything. If it seems a little dry, add a few more splashes of broth.
  • Fold in sesame seeds and scallion greens. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
