Ingredients
- 119.9 g chicken thigh
- 0.62 tbsp gochujang paste
- 2.34 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 tsp ginger root
- 30 g avocado
- 0.5 tsp lime juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
- 01In a bowl, whisk together the gochujang paste, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze. Add the diced chicken thigh pieces and coat evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
