Steps for making Korean fried chicken
Note: We will divide the process into several parts to ensure a simpler explanation.
Making the syrup
In a saucepan, add the water, vinegar, and sugar.
Place the pot on the stove and wait for it to boil.
Once it's boiling, immediately pour it into the turnip.
Preparation of Chicken — mu (Pickled turnip)
Peel the turnip shells and cut into medium squares.
Place the turnip pieces in a large glass or stainless steel bowl and pour the boiling syrup into it.
Cover the turnip with clear plastic wrap or a plastic bag.
Let it sit at room temperature for a day or two.
Chicken marinade
In a bowl we will add the ground or crushed garlic, the minced ginger, the rice liquor, the ground pepper, salt and sugar.
Mix well so that the salt and sugar melt. Next, pour in the olive oil and continue mixing.
Cut the chicken into small pieces and place the pieces in the bowl with the marinade sauce, so that it is sautéed.
Mix carefully so that all the pieces are soaked with the sauce.
Add the wheat flour and continue mixing so that all the pieces are soaked with this mixture.
Leave the covered chicken pieces resting in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Frying the chicken pieces
Before frying, we will prepare the flour as for tempura, as we explained between the ingredients.
We fill a pot halfway with oil and place it on the stove over medium heat.
Pass each of the chicken pieces through the prepared flour and then place the piece in the pot with oil, being very careful not to burn yourself.
Repeat the previous step with each of the pieces.
Once the pieces are golden brown, remove them and place them on a plate with absorbent paper or on a rack with a tray underneath to drain the fat.
Preparation of the sauce
Add all the ingredients from the list to the sauce in the pan, mix well so that they are integrated and homogeneous.
Next, pour in a little water and continue mixing.
When you notice that it has the desired consistency, it will be time to put it on the stove over medium heat until it boils.
Constantly stir the sauce so that it thickens as it boils. After a couple of minutes after the sauce has come to a boil, it will be time to remove it from the heat.
To serve the chicken
Soak half of the fried chicken pieces in the sauce and serve. We will place the other half next to the pieces with sauce.
Reserve some sauce to serve with the chicken pieces.
Decorate the chicken pieces with sauce by sprinkling sesame seeds and finely chopped coriander.
Remove the pickled turnips and serve alongside the fried chicken for a touch of authentic Korean cuisine.
Recommendations and tips to make Korean fried chicken perfect
Ideally, prepare the turnip a couple of days before using it, so that it takes on flavor.
If you want the chicken to be perfect, the ideal is to let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before cooking.
Some ingredients on the list can be difficult to find in your local market, but you can try to get them from online stores.
If you like, fry the chicken last, or if you fry it beforehand, fry one more time before serving to make sure it is crispy before serving.
If you are not a big fan of spicy food, you can skip the chili and other spicy ingredients on the list and substitute whatever you think is convenient.
