Sesame Chicken

Sesame Chicken is a Chinese dish in which boneless skinless chicken pieces are deep fried and then tossed with a sauce made with cornstarch, vinegar, chicken broth and honey / sugar. It is then topped with toasted white sesame seeds. It is served with plain white rice or fried rice or noodles.

Recipe For Sesame Chicken

Ingredients


 Chicken - 1 lb (0.5 Kg) (boneless skinless, cut into small cubes)

 Oil -  2 tbsp (preferably sesame oil)

 Sesame seeds (white) - 2 tbsp

 Ginger - 1 tsp (minced)

 Veggies - 1 cup (chopped lengthwise optional). Any veggies like spring onion, bell peppers etc can be used.

Sauce Ingredients


 Chilly garlic sauce - 1 tbsp

 Soy sauce - 2 tbsp

 Vinegar- 2 tbsp

 Water/Chicken Broth - 1 1/2 cup (or as needed)

 Salt - as needed

Optional Ingredients


 Corn Starch - 2 tbsp (to thicken the sauce)

 Honey - (to add some sweetness to the sauce) 

Method


 Marinate the chicken with some soy sauce (2 tbsp) and salt for at least 15 minutes.

 Heat the oil in a wok and stir fry the chicken until the chicken is cooked. (The chicken is traditionally deep fried.)

 Remove the chicken and keep it aside.

 Heat some oil in the same wok and stir fry the ginger and veggies for just a minute or two.

 Add the sauce ingredients - vinegar, soy sauce, chilly garlic sauce and water/chicken broth. (You can add some corn starch and honey to the sauce depending on how thick and how sweet you want your sauce to be. I haven't added either, to suit to my taste.)

 Bring the sauce to a boil and add the fried chicken pieces. (Check for salt and other seasonings at this stage. Add some chilly powder if you need more heat.)

 Transfer the chicken with the sauce to the serving tray and top it with the sesame seeds.
