Korean Fried Chicken Sauce image

This is my take on the classic Korean fried chicken sauce. I like to add lots of green onion and garlic, and not cook this quite as long. The result is a sauce with those ingredients a little more in the flavor profile's forefront. Try to find Korean chili flakes and/or paste if you can. I've used them before and the flavor is great (and obviously more authentic), but if you can't, any hot chili flakes or paste will work.

This sauce is a game-changer. I used to buy Korean fried chicken from restaurants, but now I can make it at home that tastes just as good, if not better.
