Instructions
How to Make Dakkochi Sauce - Spicy Gochujang Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix them well. Set it aside until needed.
How to Make Dakkochi Sauce - Sweet Soy Sauce
- -Combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic in a sauce pan and boil it over medium low heat until it starts lightly bubbling. In the mean time, combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk it well.-When the sauce in the sauce pan starts bubbling, pour over the cornstarch mixture. Whisk them well until the sauce is well blended and thickens. (Do not over-thicken as it will be difficult to spread over the chicken later. The sauce should be still slightly runny.)-Remove from the heat and set it aside until needed.
How to Make Korean Chicken Skewers
- Immerse the skewers in some water (if using wooden skewers) for about 30 mins.
- Place the chopped chicken pieces into a mixing bowl. Add the rice wine, some salt and pepper. Mix them well. Set it aside while other ingredients are being prepared (about 5 mins).
- Remove your bamboo skewers from the water (from step 1) and gently wipe them with kitchen paper. Put through chicken and green onion pieces onto a skewer in alternating order. Make sure all the meat and green onions are tightly packed. It should give you 12 skewers based on mid length skewers (25cm / 9.8 inch).
- -Spray some cooking oil over your choice of cooking element (e.g. grill / skillet / sheet pan). Place the chicken skewers on a grill / skillet or under broiler and cook them over medium high heat. About 3 mins later turn the skewers around and start brushing your choice of sauce onto the chicken and green onions.-In about 2 mins, reduce the heat to medium and turn the skewer over again and brush the sauce. Reduce the heat to low.-From here onward, continue to turn the skewers and brush the sauce on the skewers until the chicken is fully cooked and charred to your taste. Serve immediately.
