Sesame Chicken
Here’s a very authentic recipe from About.com for sesame chicken just like in the Chinese restaurants. It was really easy to make and so tasty too! 
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 whole boneless chicken breasts
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying
- Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry
- a few drops of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- Sauce for Sesame Chicken:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/8 cup vinegar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 TB dark soy sauce
- 2 TB sesame oil
- 1 tsp chili paste, or more if desired
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
PREPARATION:
Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade
ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the
sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to
a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the
chicken.
To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated
chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the
chicken.
Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil. Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve
the Sesame Chicken with rice.
