This meal is all about the 'jang: Gochujang is a popular Korean condiment that's gained popularity in the US over the last few years. It's both sweet and spicy, made of chili powder, rice, and soy, and fermented over years in traditional clay pots, placed on platforms out-of-doors. The 'jang in the aioli adds a delightful smoky spice to the chicken, with the crunchy wontons adding the crunch. Gochujang is here to stay, and after you try this meal, you'll see why.
