Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Korean works really well with Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chenin Blanc. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Karthauserhof Riesling QbA Ruwer. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 24 dollars per bottle.

Instructions

  1. In a pan, pour about two inches of oil and heat on medium heat till hot.
  2. Cut chicken on the diagonal into thick strips, about two inches wide.
  3. In a bowl, beat eggs.
  4. In another container, place flour.
  5. Coat chicken strips in egg mixture first, then generously pat with flour, covering all sides. I will often give it a couple of coatings. There should be a thick layer of batter on the chicken pieces.
  6. When oil is hot, fry chicken pieces till golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
  7. Remove chicken, and let rest on a paper towel to drain the oil.
  8. To make candy sauce, place soy sauce and sugar in a bowl and mix together, about 30 seconds.
  9. The sugar will not completely dissolve, but the mixture should be thick, and not grainy.
  10. Add sesame seeds and mix to incorporate.
  11. Dip chicken in sauce, covering all sides.
  12. Repeat, till all pieces are covered.
  13. Serve with rice, drizzle remain sauce over chicken.
  14. Garnish with sliced scallions.
