Cut the chicken into strips about 1/4 inch thick and roughly 1 1/2 inches length, then place in the marinade and mix well.

Wash ginger in cold water and peel.
Pulp (smash) the ginger with mortar & pestle, tenderizing hammer, or the back edge of a heavy knife.
Rinse and trim the scallion/green onion, then cut into roughly 1-inch lengths.

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and pulped ginger and rapidly stir fry for about 30 to 45 seconds.
Quickly add marinated chicken and any remaining marinade, then stir fry until chicken is well browned (about three to six minutes).
Add scallions and gochujang and stir fry another 45 seconds to one minute.
Remove from heat and serve.
