Steps to make Spicy Korean fried chicken:

2. Chop the onions into quarters, peel the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. In a food processor or blender puree all of the ingredients together until smooth..
3. Transfer and pour the puree mixture into a small pan. Add the Gochujang paste, light soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, sugar and honey. On medium heat bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Taste and adjust as needed (add sugar or honey for sweetness, Gochujang for spice etc). Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Turn of heat, cover with lid to keep and set aside..
