Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

500 g (1lb) chicken breasts (cubed into bite-size pieces )
1 egg (beaten)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 cup flour
½ cup cornstarch / cornflour
oil (for frying)
1 tbsp canola / vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves (crushed )
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup water
¼ cup brown sugar (You could add up to one third cup sugar if you prefer the sauce to be sweeter.)
2 tbsp rice vinegar / lemon juice
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour (mixed with 2 tbsp water )

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a bowl then add the egg and soy sauce. Massage the egg and soy into the chicken well then allow to sit for a few minutes while you make the sauce.
  • To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large pan then cook for garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, water, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer then pour in the cornstarch slurry. Reduce the heat then simmer until the sauce is thick and glossy. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat enough oil to fry the chicken in a deep pan or pot. Place a wire rack over a sheetpan.
  • Combine the flour and cornstarch in a separate bowl then coat the chicken in the flour mixture, making sure each piece is completely covered.
  • Carefully add the chicken to the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid over-crowding the pan, until the chicken is golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain on the wire rack while you cook the remaining chicken.
  • Place the pan with the sauce back on the heat and bring to a simmer. Add the fried chicken and sesame seeds to the pan then toss to coat the chicken in the sauce. Season to taste with more soy, vinegar or sesame oil as necessary then serve over rice or noodles.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 dash sesame oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon chile paste
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup cornstarch
½ cup water
1 quart olive oil for frying
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Sift flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in low-sodium soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil; stir until smooth. Stir in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into 1/2 cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens and turns clear, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
  • Heat olive oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Drop in the battered chicken pieces, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and float to the top of the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. To serve, place fried chicken pieces onto a serving platter, and pour the hot sauce overtop. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish.

1 cup balsamic vinaigrette
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 cup mirin

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the onion, garlic, and ginger and pulse to mince. Place in a bowl and combine with the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, rum, crushed red pepper, sugar, and salt. Shake, or stir well, before use. Cut the chicken breast into 2-inch strips. Put in plastic bag or tub with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine sesame seeds with the flour. Dredge marinated chicken strips in the flour-sesame mixture. In a skillet, heat enough canola oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet until hot, but not smoking. Cook chicken strips, on both sides until golden brown. Transfer to a shallow roasting pan and finish in the oven.
  • To assemble:
  • Toss the Sesame Noodles with some Soy-Ginger Vinaigrette and some fresh mesclun greens. Place the noodle salad on a plate and top with the cooked sesame chicken. Drizzle some Spicy Apricot Sauce over the chicken. Garnish with pickled ginger and a side of the apricot dipping sauce.
  • Cook angel hair pasta in boiling, salted water for 2 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Add the cilantro, scallions, olive, and sesame oils. Combine well.
  • Combine all ingredients, except for the water, in a blender. Blend for 30 seconds. Then add the water and blend for another 10 seconds.
  • Put all ingredients in a saucepan, and heat until the glaze melts. Whisk until smooth, and serve at room temperature. Add water if it gets too thick.

Tips:

  • If you can't find Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or Chinese rice wine.
  • To make the chicken extra crispy, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture before frying.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and result in soggy chicken.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure it's big enough to hold all of the ingredients without overcrowding.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

This spicy sesame chicken recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful meal. The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is sweet, spicy, and addictive. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
