I always get sesame chicken at Chinese buffets, but inevitably get disappointed when I end up eating nothing but batter and no chicken.
Added some mushroom green beans as a side
I only wish I could have toasted the sesame seeds
Ingredients Marinade:
3 chicken breasts - cubed
4 tbsp of light soy sauce
4 tbsp of cooking wine
2 tbsp of sesame oil
2 tsp of sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
Salt & pepper to taste
Sauce:
8 tbsp of sweet chili sauce
6 tbsp of tomato ketchup
6 tbsp of honey (depend on how sweet you want)
3 tbsp of oyster sauce
4 tbsp of light soy sauce
3-4 tbsp water (dilute to desired consistency)
toasted sesame seed
Directions
Marinate chicken with soy sauce, wine, sugar, sesame oil, salt and pepper and set it aside for at least an hour. Just before frying mix the 2 type of flour together and mix it into the chicken.
Prepare oil for frying. Fry chicken until golden brown, dish out and drain the oil in paper towel. Remove all the oil from the pan.
Mix all the sauce ingredients together and pour it back into the pan. Bring it up to a boil and let the sauce thicken a bit.
Add in the chicken and toss it gently until the chicken are evenly coated with the sauce. Sprinkle the sesame seeds to the chicken.
