Recipe
Cooking tips
- Coating chicken with potato starch helps retain moisture, resulting in a much more tender texture.
- The starch on the chicken's surface naturally thickens the sauce, so there's no need to add extra starch water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Lettuce releases too much moisture if cooked too long, losing its crispness—add it last and toss only briefly to mix with the sauce.
Recommended for
- Those looking for a creative way to use up leftover jajang paste.
- Anyone wanting to enjoy a satisfying meal combining crisp vegetables and tender chicken, all tossed in a savory sweet sauce.
