Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together.

Coat and Fry

Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

Making the Gochujang Sauce

Combine Ingredients

In a saucepan, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Heat gently until mixed well and slightly thickened.

Making the Gnocchi Nuts

Prepare the Potatoes

Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.

Make Gnocchi Dough

Combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl. Knead until a dough forms.

Shape and Cook

Roll dough into small pieces and shape into nuts. Boil in salted water until they float, then remove and set aside.

Cooking the Purple Rice

Cook the Rice

Rinse purple rice under cold water. Combine with water in a pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until water is absorbed.
