Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute vinegar or store-bought tonkatsu sauce.
  • If using starch syrup instead of oligosaccharide syrup, the sweetness may be lower, so adjust the amount to taste.
  • If deep-frying at home is too much trouble, blanching rice cakes or sausages in boiling water for about 1 minute and tossing them in the sauce is also light and delicious.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the taste of store-bought dakgangjeong at home.
  • Those who want to upgrade frozen chicken nuggets or rice cake skewers into a next-level dish.
