Notes:

Yet another recipe created to appease my husband when he misses korean food. He found a recipe for Korean fried chicken and sauce that sounded like what he was missing. The recipe he found was scanty on details and had a few ingredients I do not have so I had to fly pretty fast and loose with some substitutions. But when it was done he was thrilled and said it tastes right. Which is good since I was cooking blind and had no real idea what I was aiming for. Did some buttermilk and garlic marinated wings, dredged in seasoned flour then fried crispy and tossed in this sauce garnished with some toasted sesame seeds and I had one very very happy husband. Which is always nice. 

I'm not cooking as many new recipes as I once did, I have two kids now so life is busy but when I find a winner of a recipe I still want to save it and share it.
