Home cooking attempt — Korean Fried Chicken from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Korean Fried Chicken from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting sesame oil right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The deeply umami result was rewarding once I got it right.

Korean cuisine integrates fermented ingredients like kimchi as a health and preservation tradition. I served it with banana milk as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Korean Fried Chicken yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
