The Recipe
I have been playing around with the idea of Korean-style Chicken and Waffles since November 2009. Chile Pepper magazine had a bigger-than-life picture of Belgian waffles covered with fried chicken and drenched in cayenne-cinnamon syrup.
This blog post sat in my idea folder for over a year due to my own indecisiveness. My article for Plate Magazine about Korea’s growing breakfast culture (and the inclusion of my Korean egg toast recipe sparked my decision to dust this recipe off and do something with it. It has also inspired me to create more breakfast recipes in the future.
Here is the recipe for Korean-style breakfast syrup, a wonderful spicy side kick to your favorite chicken and waffles, French toast or pancake breakfast.
Korean-style Waffle Syrup
| Ingredients | ||
| 1 | Cup | Maple syrup or  mul yeot (Korean corn syrup) |
| ¾ | Tbsp | Ground dried cinnamon |
| 1 | Tbsp | Spicy Paprika or  gochugaru (Korean spicy red pepper powder) |
The cinnamon and gochugaru looked so gorgeous on top of the warmed syrup; I didn’t want to mix them. (Photo by Tammy Quackenbush)
Method
- Put all the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat and whisk the ingredients together.
- Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Plate the waffles, and then put some chicken on top.
Drizzle the combination with syrup or serve it on the side for dipping.
We lean towards the syrup-on-the-side option, but feel free to pour it on. (Tammy Quackenbush photo)
Thank you Tammy for this great Korean California inspired syrup recipe!
Bon appetite!
