Shallow-Fried Chicken with Gochujang Sauce and Slaw

I’ve been cooking at home for a long time, and the food I’ve made — while sustaining — hasn’t always been very good. My mom gave me a great head-start, and I knew I wouldn’t be going hungry any time soon as long as I had access to heat and modest ingredients. But I always wanted to up my game in the kitchen.

I wanted my food to taste as good as it did when I visited my favorite restaurants.
