Ingredients:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1lb turkey breast (500g), cut into 1\/2-inch bite-sized pieces<\/p>\n

Marinade Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

2\u20133 cloves garlic (grated, or blended in food processor)<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 tablespoons fresh ginger (grated, or blended in food processor)<\/p>\n

1\/2 small onion (approx. 1\/3 cup, grated or blended in food processor)<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 tablespoon soy sauce<\/p>\n

Batter<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup potato starch (added into marinade mix)<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup potato starch (used to dredge to coat the turkey)<\/p>\n

Sweet & Spicy Sauce Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons gochujang<\/p>\n

3 tablespoons tomato paste<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup honey<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon soy sauce<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon sesame oil<\/p>\n

1\/2 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes, Optional to make it spicier)<\/p>\n

1 tbsp canola or high-heat cooking oil<\/p>\n

Oil for Frying<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup canola or high-heat cooking oil<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Marinating the Turkey<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Remove the skin from the turkey and cut the turkey into 1\/2-inch sized pieces and place it in a bowl.<\/li>\n
  2. Cut the ginger into slices, peel the garlic and onions and blitz it in a food processor with the soy sauce. If you don\u2019t have a food processor, you can grate it manually. Pour the marinate into the bowl with the turkey.<\/li>\n
  3. Mix the turkey with the marinate together well and place it in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour, while you start making the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making the Sweet & Spicy Korean Sauce<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Set a frying pan over the stove and set the heat to medium low and add a bit of oil in.<\/li>\n
    2. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the garlic and brown it until it is golden in colour (approximately 1-2 mins)<\/li>\n
    3. Adjust the stove to low heat and add the rest of the sauce ingredients in and simmer it for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
    4. Once the sauce is done, set it aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Battering & Deep Frying<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Once the turkey has finished marinating, mix 1\/2 cup of potato starch into the bowl and mix everything together well until the marinade has combined with the starch and everything is sticky.<\/li>\n
      2. Add 3\/4 cup of potato starch onto a plate. Dunk each piece of turkey individually one by one into the potato starch until it is well coated and white. Shake of excess potato starch and set aside.<\/li>\n
      3. In a deep fryer, set the temperature to 350F (180C). If you are using a pot, add at least 1 inch of oil and set the stove to medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350F (180C). To test if the oil is hot, you can stick a wooden chopstick in to see if it bubbles or throw in a grain of rice to see if it sizzles.<\/li>\n
      4. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey pieces in one by one, but do not over crowd the pot. (You might need to fry these in batches.) Fry for 2 minutes and set aside on a rack or paper bag to absorb the oil.<\/li>\n
      5. Once all the turkey has been fried, we are ready to do a second fry with it which will make it crispier. Add all the turkey back into the oil and fry it for 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Putting It Together<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Stir the sweet and spicy Korean sauce. If it is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to it and mix again.<\/li>\n
        2. If the sauce is cold, re-heat the sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Toss the freshly fried turkey with the sweet and spicy Korean sauce and enjoy!<\/p>\n
