Preparation
Step 1
FOR THE CHICKEN: In a medium bowl, combine pear, soy sauce, cilantro, gochujang, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine soy sauce mixture and chicken; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
Step 2
Preheat grill to medium heat. Drain the chicken from the marinade; brush with canola oil. Add chicken to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
FOR THE KIMCHI: Heat sesame oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add kimchi and sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until caramelized and heated through, about 3-5 minutes; set aside.
Step 4
FOR THE BOWLS: Cook jasmine rice according to package instructions.
Step 5
Divide rice into bowls. Top with chicken, kimchi, cabbage, carrots, avocado, cilantro, and eggs, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
