Instructions

Begin by washing your rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly and place it in the rice cooker. Add water as you normally would for the rice you are using, but reduce the total amount by the amount of soy sauce you are using.
Directly into the rice cooker, add the chicken, peas & carrots, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and gochujang. Use your rice cooker paddle to mix everything thoroughly with the chicken and rice.
Close the rice cooker lid and cook on the regular white rice setting until the rice is cooked.
Once done, drizzle your sesame oil on top of the rice. Fluff the rice to combine all the ingredients and enjoy.
