Buldak Sauce:
Before moving towards the recipe or making of the buldak sauce, I would like to clarify that we don’t generally use Korean ingredients due to unavailability in our areas. So get your hands on all those hot Asian spices to heat your dish.
This Buldak Sauce is a delicious combination of spicy hotness and honey sweetness when layered together and followed by cheesy chewy goodness offering relief from the chicken’s heat underneath.
