Instructions

Step 1

First, cut 1 cup worth of green onions into about 2 inch long thin strips. You can also use garlic chives, perilla leaves, and even iceberg lettuce. Just cut them into thin strips.

Step 2

To get rid of the strong onion flavor and to make the onion curl, put the green onion strips into ice water. Set them aside for later.

Step 3

Now, cut 1 cup of chicken breast (½ lb) into half to one inch chunks. You can use any parts of chicken you like, but I recommend using chicken without skin and bone for this recipe.

Step 4

Add the chicken, ½ Tbsp cooking wine, 1 tsp minced garlic, 2 pinches of salt, and 2 pinches of black pepper in a bowl. Mix everything together and marinate it for at least 10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the sauce: 1½ Tbsp soy sauce, 1½ Tbsp water, 1 generous Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp vinegar, and ¼ tsp yellow mustard. Chill it in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Here are 3 key ingredients ( cup corn starch, 1 egg white, and ½ Tbsp Korean curry powder) to make delicious Korean fried chicken for the unique flavor and crunchy texture. Add the 3 key ingredients along with 1 Tbsp of water into the chicken.

Step 7

Mix everything together. It is ready to deep fry now. Preheat the cooking oil on medium-high. Put all the chicken in the heated oil one by one. Fry them for about 3 minutes.

Step 8

In this step, take out the green onions from the cold water and dry them out. You can see how the green onion strips became curly.

Step 9

3 minutes later, the chicken will be lightly golden brown. Remove the chicken from the oil. And put them on a plate with some paper towels to soak up the excess oil.

Step 10

To make the deep fried chicken crispier, we will fry them one more time. So, put all the fried chicken pieces back into the hot oil and fry for 2 more minutes this time.

Step 11

2 minutes later, the chicken will be nicely golden brown. Remove the chicken from the oil. And then, put them on some new paper towels.

Step 12

Serve the chicken when it’s still hot. Put the fried chicken on a pretty plate. Then, put some of the green onions on top of the chicken.

Step 13

Right before eating, pour the sauce over the chicken and green onions. Mix everything together and enjoy!
