Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour about half of the gochujang glaze over the fish, ensuring all sides are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.

If using a rice cooker, cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. If using a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes after cooking.
