AAC-Anju-Chef-Roy-OhQ: I was recently at Naju in Calgary and fell in love with the Korean fried chicken sandwich. Can you get the recipe? – R.M., Vancouver

A: The kicky gochujang glaze is what sets this dish apart. Tucked into a soft burger bun along with crunchy lettuce and creamy Kewpie mayo, this will be your go-to summer sandwich.
