Prep:30 mCook:30 mReady:2 h

Add ginger and garlic to a mixing bowl, and pour over the 1/4 cup rice vinegar. Let sit for 30 seconds, then whisk in soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, ketchup, the 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and gochujang.
Add chicken thighs to marinade. Toss and turn until thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Lay rice vermicelli in the dish, pulling the dry noodles apart as you do, to cover the bottom evenly, breaking off sections of noodle as needed.
Evenly scatter over mushrooms, peppers, and about half the green onions. Top with marinated chicken thighs, smooth side up. Spoon excess marinade on top of chicken.
Rinse marinade bowl with chicken broth and pour into the bottom of dish, without rinsing marinade off chicken. Top with a few tablespoons of green onions.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Remove chicken to a plate. Toss noodles and veggies in pan until evenly combined. Add the remaining 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 2 tablespoons sesame oil; toss one last time. Taste for seasoning.
Serve chicken over noodles; sprinkle with sesame seeds and more green onions.
