Recipe

Cooking tips

  • At home, using boneless chicken leg meat instead of bone-in chicken greatly reduces cutting and cooking time.
  • Using only the settled starch slurry after mixing starch with water and letting it fully settle makes the batter much crispier.
  • The key to kkanpunggi is the timing of stir-frying so that the sauce clings dryly to the surface of the ingredients without being soupy.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy crispy kkanpunggi at home at a restaurant level.
  • Those who want a dish with a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy sauce.
