For the Korean Glaze: In a saucepan, combine 7 tbsp light soy sauce, 1-3 tbsp gochujang (spicy to taste), 1 tsp garlic paste, 1 tsp ginger paste, 1 tbsp stevia, and 3 tbsp honey. Prepare a slurry with 1 tsp cornstarch and 4 tbsp water. Add the slurry to the sauce. Simmer and thicken the glaze, then toss the crispy chicken in the glaze.

In a blender, combine 1½ cups low-fat cottage cheese, ½ cup reduced fat milk, ½ cup reduced fat cheddar, 1 packet mac & cheese powder, and ½ tsp garlic powder. Blend until smooth. Mix the blended sauce with the cooked pasta. Divide the Korean Fried Chicken and Mac ‘n’ Cheese into 5 portions and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed meals all week!
