This is a Korean inspired ‘Takikomigohan’, that is a Japanese dish of Rice cooked with all other ingredients and seasonings. This ‘Gochujang Chicken Rice’ is absolutely easy to cook if you have a rice cooker. I can’t live without rice cooker. It makes everyday cooking so much easier. While Gochujang Chicken Rice is cooking, make a soup and a refreshing salad. A delicious meal can be prepared without no effort.

We don’t eat chicken but I’m thinking baked tofu and vegetable broth paste would make good substitutes in this recipe….thoughts?

If I go vegetarian, I would use ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu) that can add excellent flavour. Vegetable broth is good, too. I would add some Asian Mushrooms and more vegetables such as Carrot. At the end of cooking, Edamame can be added, too. Well… vegetarian version would be delicious.
