This meal comes together quickly for a delicious midweek dinner, yet tastes as though you’ve worked on it lovingly for hours. You can use chicken mince in place of the chicken thighs if you like, and for extra protein, add halved boiled eggs with semi-soft yolks.

1-2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 spring onions, sliced
