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