@ibrahimmirza7274one week ago I don't understand this recipe of yours. Please write down the ingredients that go into it. 3

@vanessa.853 years ago Maangchi is seriously one of the most adorable people I've ever seen. 3742
@

@changeddy68443 years ago I believe some people don't have thermometer at home, so there's another way to check if the oil is hot enough to fry is to use a wooden stick or a chopstick to dip into the oil and if there's bubble forming around the stick, it means that it's the time to fry. BTW, Maangchi, nice hairstyle! ... 1064

@daniellerrrrrrrrr3 years ago I could eat this every day!! Thanks Maangchi, in my town we don't have a korean restaurant and when i made this chicken, my friends finished all of it in only 10 minutes😭😭 532

@Maangchi3 years ago Hi everybody! Thank you very much for your nice comments and messages as always! : )
Check out English and Korean caption! 영어, 한국어 자막있어요!
By the way, YouTube ended the community captions feature a few months ago, so my volunteer viewers can't submit their captions in their languages anymore. I do English and Korean captions by myself because I know those languages. The translated captions already made will stay on my videos. I hope someday YouTube will have community captions again. ... 631

@BlasterMaster803 years ago I lived in Korea for a few years, my favorite place to eat was this little place in my building that was kind of a Japanese/Korean fusion place. Anyway, I used to train in Hapkido every night and on my way back home there was my second favorite place to eat, and this is the dish I would get. Funny story, it turned out that both of my favorite restaurants where owned by the same family. The son and daughter ran the restaurant with Grandma in my building and their Mom ran the chicken place. They would often be there on my way back home and would invite me to sit and drink with them while I waited for my Yangnyeom chicken. Good times for sure, I even went back a few years later and of course they still remembered me. ... 195

@

@renamaze13713 years ago I just made these!! They were so delicious!! My dad said, “Perfect!” I used honey instead of rice syrup & hot pepper instead of red chili paste (as I didn’t have them at home), but they turned out pretty well! Next time I would probably deep fry them for about 6-7 minutes each time on high heat instead of 12 minutes each because it turned out very toasted. I like it medium crunchy😋 thanks so much for your recipe! ... 181

@

@user-xb5rl6wt5j2 years ago Made this yesterday! Me and my boyfriend loved it so much we’re making it again today 😂
I made a couple of substitutions. I used something called Farina which is a starch made from a variety of vegetables such as potato and cassava (from the world foods section in Tesco) instead of potato starch which I couldn’t find. And maple syrup instead of rice syrup which I also couldn’t find easily. ... 70

So grateful for Maangchi. 🥰❤️ ... 16
@

@blissfulmountain3 years ago I just made this for lunch today and it was SO delicious!!! My dad couldn't eat the spicy sauce, so I saved some pieces of chicken for him to eat without the sauce, and even so it was really good, super crunchy. My mom, on the other hand, loved the sauce and asked for the recipe hahaha It was really good. Thank you Maangchi! ... 18

@aprillen3 years ago I made this today and it was so delicious! And really easy to make. I don't have access to rice syrup, so I used golden syrup with tomato purée instead of ketchup in the sauce, and it turned out really well.

@

@_salma42 years ago I made this today and it was soooo delicious! 🤤🤤The easiest and the yummiest sauce I ever tried for Korean fried chicken! We don't have gochujang where I live so I used hot chili sauce instead and sprinkled red chili flakes. Gonna cook it again tomorrow, it's so good! ... 24
@

@ra97498 months ago I love all her recipes that I’ve tried so far. This is the first time I’ve changed something in the recipe because I didn’t have all purpose flour so I used rice flour instead, I figured it couldn’t hurt and it came out delicious!!! She was right about the sauce it was just the perfect amount to coat all the chicken and I use 2.7lbs of chicken instead of 2lbs. My husband wants to eat it already but he has to wait till his off from work to try it. I know he will love it just like all her other recipes I’ve cooked. I want to make it again for my family to try but I would need to do like three times the amount so a long of time and work but it will be worth it for them to try this delicious recipe! Thank you so much Maangchi for sharing. I love your personality, your videos and your recipes!!! ... 2

I gave some to my neighbours to try and two comments they gave me were "I had no idea you could cook like that" and "That was perfect in every way". Looks like yangnyeom-tongdak is going to be on my dinner party menu for a LONG time :) ... 43
