Preparation

Cook the rice
In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.

Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.

Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion, separating the white bottom and green top. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; using the side of your knife, gently smash the halves until slightly flattened. Cut into large chunks.

Make the smashed cucumber salad
In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, daikon, soy sauce, white bottom of the scallion, ½ the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), ¾ of the remaining spices and S&P.

Make the gochujang cream
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, gochujang (add ½ for medium spicy), remaining vinegar, ¾ of the green top of the scallion and S&P.

Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the chicken. Drizzle with the gochujang cream. Garnish with the remaining green top of the scallion. Serve the smashed cucumber salad on the side and season with the remaining spices. Bon appétit!
