Sesame Chicken

Sesame chicken is a popular Chinese dish consisting of deep fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet and savory sesame sauce. The dish is believed to have originated in the Hunan province of China, though it has since become popular in many other regions, including North America. The dish is usually served with steamed white rice and vegetables.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
