Steps:
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy frying pan or pot over medium hight heat for about 10 to 12 minutes until it reaches 330-350ºF. I used my 12 inch pan but if your pan is smaller, work by batches. If you don't have a thermometer, test it by dipping one piece of chicken in the oil. If it bubbles, it is ready.
- While the oil is heating, combine chicken, salt, ground black pepper, starch, flour, baking soda, and eggs in a bowl. Mix altogether well by hand.
- Add the coated chicken to hot oil one by one. Fry them for 12 minutes until the all sides of the chicken are crunchy, turning over with tongs. Take out the chicken with tongs or a large slotted spoon to wire strainer over a bowl to remove the excess oil.
- Heat the 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Stir in garlic until light brown for about 30 seconds. Add the ketchup, rice syrup, gochujang, vinegar and stir well with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low and stir until bubbling. Remove from the heat.
- Let the oil heat up for 2 minutes over medium high heat until it reaches 330-350ºF. Fry the chicken one more time, turning over with tongs for about another 12 minutes until very crunchy.
- Reheat the sauce over medium high heat until it's bubbling again. Add all the hot crunchy chicken and mix well with a wooden spoon and tongs.
- Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and transfer to a serving plate. Serve with chicken-mu (pickled radish) if you have it.

CHICKEN TERIYAKI
Teriyaki is derived from the Japanese root words teri, to shine, and yaki, to broil or grill. That's the way traditional teriyaki looks: shiny and incised with grill marks. In Japan, teriyaki is a mix of soy sauce, sake and the rice wine mirin, which imparts a subtle sweetness. The teriyaki found throughout Seattle, of which this is an adaptation, is a bit more showy. Cooks sweeten with white sugar and pineapple juice. They thicken with cornstarch. Ginger and garlic go into the mix because of the Korean ancestry of many cooks. It is not at all traditional, but it is simple to prepare and addictive to eat. Be sure to plan ahead as you do need to marinate the chicken before cooking. An overnight stay in the fridge is ideal, but many readers have been happy with a quick marinade of an hour or so.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except cornstarch and chicken. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Discard cinnamon stick and mix in 1/2 cup water.
- Place chicken in a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag. Add soy sauce mixture, seal bag, and turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least an hour, ideally overnight.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Pour mixture into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to pan. Stir until mixture begins to thicken, and gradually stir in enough water (about 1/2 cup) until sauce is the consistency of heavy cream. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat a broiler or grill. Lightly brush chicken pieces on all sides with sauce, and broil or grill about 3 minutes per side. While chicken is cooking, place sauce over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a bare simmer, adding water a bit at a time to keep mixture at a pourable consistency. To serve, slice chicken into strips, arrange on plates, and drizzle with sauce.

MAPLE SYRUP KOREAN TERIYAKI CHICKEN
I found this recipe for the Zaar World Tour 2005. Times are estimated. Instead of the chicken, you could use extra firm tofu.

Tips:
- Use a large bowl to marinate the chicken. This will help ensure that the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but up to 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from burning.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This can be checked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
