Korean cuisine has its own identity in southeast Asia, and we bring those flavors to bear in this dish. Grilled chicken breast gets glazed with a mixture of honey and gochujang, which is a spread of chiles mixed into a paste with rice and fermented soy. This spicy-sweet condiment is like Sriracha with a "New Yorker" subscription--spicy and deliciously complex. We serve it with a refreshing salad of pear and shaved vegetables for an easy and healthy weeknight meal.

1 Prepare the Glaze
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. In a small bowl, combine gochujang (to taste), sesame oil, honey, miso, half the seasoned rice vinegar (reserve remaining for salad), and 1 Tbsp. water. Set aside.
-
2 Prepare the Chicken
Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Lightly coat grill with cooking spray and add chicken to hot grill. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Baste chicken with gochujang mixture during final 2 minutes of cooking to create a caramelized glaze on chicken.

3 Prepare Vegetables and Pear
Trim woody ends off asparagus. Hold asparagus at tips and, using a peeler, shave into long, thin ribbons. Use a knife to thinly slice asparagus tips. Trim ends off carrots, peel, and using a peeler, shave into long, thin ribbons. Mince pickled ginger. Quarter pear, core, and thinly slice.
