Sesame Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 Chicken breasts

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1-pound chicken thighs, diced

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons water

  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh minced garlic

  • 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

  • ½ Tablespoon cornstarch


Method

  1. Prepare the sauce. Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

  2. Whisk together the egg, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

  3. Trim any excess fat on the chicken and cut it into small pieces. Toss the sauce and chicken in a bowl and set it aside.

  4. Add the cooking oil and heat over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Wait until the skillet and oil are hot, and add the chicken into the pan in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the pan.

  5. Allow the chicken to cook on one side, undisturbed, until golden brown. Flip and repeat the process. Stir the chicken as little as possible to prevent breaking the egg coating on its surface.

  6. Pour the sauce over the top. Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly on all sides, toss it in the sauce. As the sauce comes to a simmer, it will begin to thicken.

  7. Continue to stir the chicken in the sauce until it has gently thickened.


Serve the chicken over a bed of rice and sprinkle with more sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
