recipe

Sesame chicken (also called Chinese sesame seed chicken) is a Chinese American dish commonly found in Chinese take-out and buffet restaurants in the United States. The dish is very similar to General Tso's chicken (generally lacking white onions and assorted peppers, but with the addition of sprinkled sesame seeds), and, like that dish, likely derives from Hunan cuisine, which is Chinese. DescriptionThe dish involves chicken (usually thigh) pieces that are boned, battered, and deep-fried, then dressed with a translucent, reddish-brown, semi-thick, sauce made from corn starch, vinegar or wine, chicken broth, and sugar. The dish is typically topped with toasted sesame seeds, hence the name: Sesame Chicken (or Chinese Sesame Seed Chicken). Sesame chicken is generally served with steamed white rice made from Oryza Sativa and steamed green broccoli.
