# How To Make It:

01 - In a bowl, combine buttermilk or yogurt, ranch seasoning if using, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add turkey or chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - In a large bowl, combine shredded napa cabbage, julienned carrot, and thinly sliced spring onions. In a separate small bowl, whisk together gochujang, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and salt. Pour dressing over vegetables, toss well, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Chill until assembly.
03 - Set up a breading station with flour and cornstarch mixture in one dish and beaten egg in another. Dredge marinated poultry strips in flour mixture, then egg, then flour again for double coating. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F. Fry strips 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread 1 tablespoon ranch dressing or gochujang-mayo on each warmed tortilla. Place a handful of slaw and a few crispy poultry strips in the center. Add fresh herbs if desired. Fold and roll up tightly.
06 - Serve immediately while wraps are warm and poultry strips maintain their crispy texture.
