KOREAN CHILLI, SESAME & HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
• Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
• Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

KOREAN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the steak strips with the chilli sauce to marinate.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat and stir-fry the meat for 2 mins until beginning to colour. Don't be tempted to overcook the steak at this stage as you want it slightly pink in the centre. Once done, set aside on a plate.
• Add the garlic and most of the spring onions and chillies to the pan, reserving some to serve, and continue to stir-fry for 2 mins. Add the cabbage and cook gently for 10-12 mins until beginning to soften.
• Return the rice and steak to the pan and mix everything together until well combined. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds, the reserved spring onions and chillies, and drizzle over more chilli sauce to serve.

QUICK & EASY KOREAN PORK

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste, then pour over the sliced pork. You can now cook the meat straight away, but for best results allow it to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins.
• Make the ssamjang sauce (if using) by mixing all of the ingredients together, then set aside.
• Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and cook the pork in batches for 2-3 mins each side until charred and cooked through. Serve with white rice and a few lettuce leaves. To eat, place a small scoop of rice in a leaf, then a piece of pork, smear with ssamjang sauce (if using) and wrap up.

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the slaw by combining all the ingredients together. Taste and add more chilli powder, if you like. Chill in the fridge.
• To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until syrupy. Take off the heat and set aside.
• Cut away any fatty excess from the chicken thighs, then season with salt, pepper and the grated ginger. Toss the chicken with the cornflour until completely coated.
• Heat about 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs for 4-5 mins each side until crisp. Remove from the oil onto kitchen paper and leave to cool slightly for 2 mins. Then re-fry in the hot oil until ultra-crisp and you can hear it crackle. Remove to kitchen paper to drain.
• Reheat the sauce. Build your burgers by placing some lettuce and kimchi slaw on the base of a bun, top with the crispy chicken and drizzle over the sticky sauce.

KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To make the sauce, put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer gently until syrupy, so around 3-4 mins. Take off the heat and set aside.
• Season the chicken wings with salt, pepper and the grated ginger. Toss the chicken with the cornflour until completely coated.
• Heat about 2cm of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium/high heat. Fry the chicken wings for 8-10 mins until crisp, turning halfway. Remove from the oil and place on kitchen paper. Leave to cool slightly (around 2 mins).
• Reheat the sauce, and toss the crispy chicken wings in it. Tip into a bowl and top with the sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
