Ingredients

Units Scale
For the Gochujang Lamb Chops:
  • 4 lamb chops
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Crispy Mushroom Rice:

 

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Marinate the Lamb Chops:
  1. In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper.
  2. Coat the lamb chops in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Cook the Rice:
  1. Rinse basmati rice under cold water until clear.
  2. In a pot, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until golden brown.
  3. Add rinsed rice, broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat and let steam for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Grill or Pan-Sear the Lamb:
  1. Heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  2. Sear lamb chops for 3-4 minutes per side until well-charred and caramelized.
  3. Let the lamb rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
Serve:

  1. Plate the crispy mushroom rice and top with the charred lamb chops.
  2. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less gochujang.
  • For extra crispiness, spread the cooked rice in a pan and lightly crisp the bottom before serving.
  • Pair with a side of kimchi or pickled cucumbers for added freshness.
