🌶Banchan- Assorted Pickles and Kimchis

🐔 Yangnyeom - KFC Korean Fried Chicken 

KFC- Korean fried chicken makes for a delicious, casual snack. It is the synthesis of two great culinary traditions. Black soldiers brought Southern fried chicken recipes with them, and taught them to Korean chefs during the Korean War. The Koreans added sesame seeds, a sauce made from gochujang and voila, a culinary masterpiece was born. This recipe fries the chicken twice to give it an ultra crispy texture. 

Serves: 2

Execution Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 250g chicken thigh, cut into 3x3cm cubes

  • 1 tbsp rice wine (sake)

  • 1 clove of garlic minced

  • 2x2 cm ginger, crushed

  • Kewpie mayonnaise

Assorted lettuce:
