## Tips

- Don't worry if chicken is not cooked all the way through initially after frying.
- Cook until the sauce is jammy after adding onion, tomato paste, and Gochujang paste.

- If spice intolerant, sub gochujang for a mild Japanese curry paste.
- If no tomato paste, use tomato sauce and add a bit of chicken broth and brown sugar.
