Ingredients 

  • 24 oz chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, and diced
  • 1/2 cup Korean BBQ sauce, Shortcut: pre-marinated Korean BBQ chicken from the grocery store works great here.

  • 4 cups cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 4 purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped

  • toasted sesame seeds for topping
