Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gochujang, 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 4 hours).

While the chicken marinates, combine the brown rice, 3 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 40–45 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
