Korean Fried Chicken and Sweet Chilli Sauce

I tasted this dish for the first time when my husband brought home a mid week snack after work, since then I could not get this out of my mind and I went searching for how to make it at home instead of buying it. I found one from Donna Hay and made a few changes, it tasted just like the one my husband brought home to my delight. If you prefer not to change it then you can follow her recipe.




Ingredients :
 

For the fried chicken :
  • Ginger - Grated, 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Salt - 1 tablespoon
  • Pepper - 1 tablespoon
  • Chicken  - 500gms, cut into pieces ( I used thigh fillets)
  • Oil - for frying
  • All purpose flour - 1/2 cup
  • Corn flour - 1/4 cup
  • Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Egg white - 1
  • Water - to mix the barter
  • Coriander - handful, chopped to garnish
For the Sweet Chilli sauce
  • Ginger - Grated, 1 tablespoon
  • Brown sugar - 3 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoon
  • White vinegar - 1/2 tablespoon
  • Maggie hot and sweet sauce - 1 tablespoon
Method:

1. Combine ginger, garlic, pepper and salt in a bowl, add chicken and mix them together, making sure the pieces are coated. Cover and let it marinate for 30minutes.



2. For the sauce, combine the ingredients, under the chilli sauce heading, in a pan placed over medium heat, bring it to a boil and let it simmer till it thickens. Take off the flame and let it cool.


 

3. For the batter, mix  the all purpose flour, corn flour and baking powder in a large bowl, whisk the egg white with water and add it the flour mixture to make a thick batter making sure there are no lumps.

4. Dip the marinated chicken in the barter making sure to coat it evenly. Fry them in batches for 4 - 6 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Drain the chicken on kitchen towels and keep warm.

6. To serve, top the chicken with the sweet chilli sauce and garnish with coriander.
