Sesame Chicken

🔥 Prep

• Cut the 400 g chicken into bite-sized cubes.
• Toss the chicken cubes with 2 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
• Measure out 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp oil into a small bowl and mix to form the sauce.
• Measure out 2 tbsp sesame seeds and set aside for garnish.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
• 2. Add the cornstarch-coated chicken cubes and fry for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
• 3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
• 4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and pour in the soy sauce-honey mixture.
• 5. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it thickens slightly.
• 6. Return the fried chicken to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce; cook for 1 minute to let the flavors meld.
• 7. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp sesame seeds over the chicken and toss quickly to distribute; cook for an additional 30 seconds to toast the seeds lightly.
• 8. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

🔥 Serve

• Serve the sesame chicken hot over steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
• Garnish with extra sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
• Pair with a simple cucumber salad or stir‑fried vegetables for a complete meal.
