One of the things I want to get better at is cooking Chinese style food. This recipe for Sesame Chicken is one of the first I have come up with, and I must say it is a keeper. I started researching how to make it and, through trial and error, figured out what I liked and what I didn’t like.
The Sesame Chicken Recipe that I created is so easy to make, and it tastes fantastic. I am going to continue to experiment with this style of cooking. My teenage son wants me to try Chinese dumplings, but I may have to work up to that one.
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breast (cut into small pieces)
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of white pepper
- Oil for the bottom of a frying pan
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- ¼ cup od soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 bunch green onions
- 2 cups of cooked rice
Instructions:
- Place the cornstarch, salt, and white pepper in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag.
- Whisk the egg in a small bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, soy, minced garlic, sesame seeds, water, and brown sugar.
- Cube the chicken breast into small pieces.
- Heat the oil in the frying pan.
- Coat the chicken with the whisked egg and then place it into the zip lock bag. Seal and shake up the bag to coat the chicken.
- Fry the chicken pieces 1 – 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from oil.
- Drain the hot oil from the pan, leaving a small amount in the frying pan.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken.
- Stir and heat until the chicken is sticky.
- Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions
- Serve over cooked rice.
Enjoy!
