Steps:
- Spread Gochujang Aioli inside the Bao Buns. Fill Buns with about 3 ounces of Fried Chicken each. Top with scallions and Pickled Fresno Chiles.
- Combine yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Let yeast bloom 5 to 10 minutes, then stir.
- Combine all-purpose flour, bread flour, sugar, salt, milk powder, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Add to the water and yeast mixture.
- Mix on low speed until the ingredients start to come together and form a ball. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 5 minutes. Dough is ready when slightly tacky and elastic, but not sticky.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, work into a ball, then put in a bowl lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until it is doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Gently punch down dough to get rid of excess air.

- Line a steamer basket with parchment paper and place buns on top. Set over simmering water and cover, then let steam until fluffy and slightly shiny, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Combine whole peeled garlic cloves with canola oil in small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer until soft, about 25 minutes. Strain (reserve oil for other use) and cool.
- Combine mayo, gochujang, sambal, chives, vinegar and poached garlic cloves in a food processor. Process until smooth.
- Combine all-purpose flour and mochiko flour in a large bowl and set aside.
- Combine soy sauce and sugar in a large bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add the garlic, ginger and chicken. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 1 hour.

- Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
HAWAIIAN MOCHIKO CHICKEN
This mochiko chicken is my daughter's favorite thing in the whole wide world. If you have never eaten mochiko chicken then you don't know what you been missing. This is a staple in many potlucks, tailgating and family gatherings. Mochiko is a Japanese sweet flour that makes a light batter. I make this for my family of 8 once a month. I have to triple the recipe and there is never leftovers.

Tips:
- To ensure crispy chicken, use a combination of mochiko flour and regular all-purpose flour. Mochiko flour creates a crispy crust, while all-purpose flour helps bind the ingredients together.
- For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken in the flour mixture.
- Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as canola oil or vegetable oil, for frying the chicken.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
- Fry the chicken in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and lowering the oil temperature.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Mochiko Asian fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of mochiko flour and regular all-purpose flour creates a crispy crust, while the chicken remains tender and juicy on the inside. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
