Main Ingredients- Boneless fried chicken, about 1/2 portion (use leftover fried chicken)
Dakgangjeong Sauce- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp White Sugar
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic (using a measuring spoon)
- 2 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Oligosaccharide)
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 Tbsp White Sugar
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic (using a measuring spoon)
- 2 Tbsp Corn Syrup (or Oligosaccharide)
- 1/2 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the boneless fried chicken that has been stored in the refrigerator. Cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). This will help the sauce coat evenly and make it easier to eat.
Step 2
To soften the chicken, which may have become firm from refrigeration, add about half a paper cup of water (approx. 50ml) to a frying pan. This step helps to moisten the chicken slightly.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious Dakgangjeong sauce. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. The saltiness of the soy sauce will balance the overall flavor.
Step 4
Next, add 2 tablespoons of white sugar for sweetness. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
Step 5
Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to enhance the garlic flavor. Using a measuring spoon ensures accuracy.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of corn syrup for a glossy and sweet finish. Corn syrup, unlike sugar, helps thicken the sauce and ensures it adheres well to the chicken.
Step 7
Combine all the sauce ingredients in the frying pan. Stir constantly over high heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 8
Pour the hot, thickened sauce over the prepared chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. While Youn’s Kitchen typically combines sauce with freshly fried chicken, this recipe is a convenient way to use leftover chicken. You can gently reheat the chicken or coat it as is for a delicious result!
