Golden Fried Bites and Dipping Sauces

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

   Mash the Gorgonzola and cream cheese together in a small bowl. Add the fish sauce and mix until combined.

2. 2

   Mix the gochujang, cream cheese, honey, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Use the smaller amount of cayenne for a milder filling or the larger amount for extra heat.

3. 3

   Combine the cherry jam, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and black pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened. If needed, mix a little cornstarch with cold water, then stir it into the cherry mixture and simmer until thick enough to hold its shape. The amount needed will depend on the consistency of your jam. Let cool completely.

4. 4

   Finely grate the low-moisture mozzarella and cheddar. Mix with the cream cheese until the mixture holds together when pressed.

5. 5

   Divide each filling into 5 small portions to make 20 portions in total. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30–60 minutes, until firm enough to handle. This makes the fillings easier to wrap in the chicken mixture without losing their shape.
