Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing one onion and placing it in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Next, lay the 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the diced onions.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of soy sauce, ⅓ cup of Gochujang chili paste, 1.5 tablespoons of garlic, 1.5 tablespoons of ginger, and 1.5 tablespoons of honey.
  4. Cover the slow cooker, and set it on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, take two forks and shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  6. While the chicken is shredding, follow the package instructions for cooking 4 bags of Uncle Ben's Jasmine Ready Rice.
  7. Divide the fluffy rice into six bowls, then top each bowl with the shredded chicken and the savory sauce from the slow cooker.
  8. For the finishing touch, mix ¾ cup of mayo with 1 to 2 tablespoons of Gochujang and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
  9. Drizzle the Spicy Korean Mayo over the bowls, and serve with pickled vegetables or steamed greens.
