Cooking with Korean chili sauce doesn’t have to be expensive. Try these cheap, tasty, and filling recipes.
This Korean-style chicken features chicken pieces that are deep-fried until golden brown, then coated in a signature Korean sauce—a combination of soy sauce, mirin, garlic, sesame oil, corn syrup, sugar, and dried chili flakes—that imparts a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor. The texture is tantalizing: the chicken is crispy on the outside, but the sauce layer remains slippery and rich. The aromas of garlic and sesame oil blend together beautifully, while a sprinkling of fresh scallions adds freshness and a pop of color. This dish is the perfect blend of bold Korean flavors and the familiarity of fried chicken—perfect as a special snack or a fun main course.
The pan-fried rice cake is topped with shredded cheese, which is slightly crispy on the outside and chewy and flaky on the inside. The rice cake has a light aroma of butter, combined with the rich salty flavor of cheese, giving it a rich and flavorful taste. When served hot and spicy, the cheese melts and stretches, satisfying both the visual and taste buds. It is a simple and healing snack or side dish.
