If you’ve spent even five minutes scrolling on TikTok or Instagram lately, chances are you’ve seen the viral brothy rice bowls popping up everywhere. As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it, and it did not disappoint! It’s cozy, hearty, and a great swap if you’re running out of soup ideas for winter.

I put my own spin on it using one of my all-time favorite flavors: gochujang. And of course I use bone broth instead of regular broth to kick-up the gut nourishing qualities and protein content. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner and super easy to customizable depending on your preferences! Grab the recipe below and leave a comment to let me know how you like it.

Gochujang Brothy Rice Bowl

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 bunch scallions, diced, white and greens separated
• 6 cups chicken bone broth (I used Kettle & Fire)
• 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp
• 1 lb chicken thighs
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp gochujang paste
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Vegetable(s) of choice (I used broccolini)
• Optional toppings: chili crunch and sesame seeds

Directions

1. Add a tsp of olive oil to a small pot and turn heat to medium. Once hot, add the scallion whites and cook ~2 minutes. Add the rice and cook according to package directions, replacing the water with chicken bone broth.
2. Meanwhile, combine chicken thighs in a large bowl with soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, gochujang, ginger, and garlic powder. Mix well.
3. Heat remaining olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, cooking 3-5 minutes each side until fully cooked through. Remove from pan and slice into strips.
4. Add remaining bone broth to a pot and bring to a simmer just to heat it up.
5. While broth is heating, saute your veggie(s) of choice for 3-5 minutes until tender.
6. To serve: add rice to a bowl and top with the chicken and vegetable(s) of choice. Pour broth around the sides of the bowl. Add some scallion greens and any desired toppings. Enjoy!
