The Method

1
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2
Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off excess flour.
3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the chicken in batches for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oil and drain on a wire rack.
5
While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, honey (or corn syrup), minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, and rice wine (or dry sherry).
6
In the hot pot or large pan, combine the chicken broth (or water) and the prepared sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
7
Add the soaked rice cakes to the hot pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and chewy.
8
Add the fried chicken pieces to the hot pot. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is coated in the sauce and heated through.
9
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

For extra crispy chicken, double fry the chicken. Fry once, remove and let cool for a few minutes, then fry again for a minute or two before adding to the sauce.

Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your desired spice level. Start with less and add more to taste.

You can add other vegetables to the hot pot, such as sliced onions, cabbage, or carrots. Add them along with the rice cakes so they have time to cook.

Serve with a side of kimchi and Korean pickled radish for a complete meal.
