Instructions
Prepare the rice: Cook the Japanese rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside, keeping it warm.
Make the stir-fry sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
Crisp the garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove the crispy garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel, leaving the infused oil in the skillet.
Stir-fry the broccoli: Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and starting to become tender-crisp. You can add a tablespoon of water and cover for a minute to steam them slightly if you prefer them softer.
Cook the shrimp: Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet. Add the shrimp to the empty side and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. They will finish cooking in the sauce.
Combine and sauce: Pour the gochujang sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ingredients, and the shrimp are fully cooked through.
Plate and serve: Divide the warm cooked rice between two bowls. Top generously with the shrimp and broccoli stir-fry. Garnish with the crispy garlic and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
