From the Test Kitchen

We’re celebrating the flavors of Korean barbecue with this dish, which takes tasty roasted chicken wings and adds a sweet and savory glaze. The secret ingredient is gochujang, a kind of Korean chile paste. (Tread lightly, chefs—it’s spicy!) Served with chewy Korean rice cakes and baby bok choy, this is an extraordinarily flavorful and authentic meal. A sprinkling of black and white sesame seeds adds a crunchy, gorgeous finish.

While the chicken wings roast, wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Cut off and discard the root end of the scallion; thinly slice the scallion, separating the white bottom and green top. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger. Trim off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. To make the sauce, in a medium bowl, combine the soy glaze, vinegar, sesame oil, half the garlic, half the ginger and as much of the gochujang as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.
