Gochujang is a sweet-spicy Korean chili paste. We think the sweet heat is perfect for a quick stir fry - and pairs great with the sweetness of carrots and onions. By using chicken thighs, this dish gets even more flavor, and using a cast iron lets us really turn up the heat and cook everything in a flash. Serve alone for a low carb or lighter option, or with some fluffy steamed rice for a full meal.
