Sesame Chicken in sweet and sour sauce


Sesame Chicken in sweet and sour sauce



INGREDIENTS:

Chicken - 1 lb (boneless skinless, cut into small cubes)
Oil - 2 tblsp (preferably sesame oil)
Sesame seeds (white) - 2 tblsp
Ginger - 1 tsp (minced)
Veggies - 1 cup (chopped lengthwise optional). Any veggies like spring onion, bell peppers etc can be used.

Sauce Ingredients:
Chilly garlic sauce - 1 tblsp
Soy sauce - 2 tblsp
Vineger - 2 tblsp
Water/Chicken Broth - 1 1/2 cup (or as needed)
Salt - as needed

Optional Ingredients
Corn Starch - 2 tblsp (to thicken the sauce)
Honey - (to add some sweetness to the sauce)


INSTRUCTIONS:

Method
  • Marinate the chicken with some soy sauce (2 tblsp) and salt for atleast 15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a wok and stir fry the chicken until the chicken is cooked. (The chicken is traditionally deep fried.)
  • Remove the chicken and keep it aside.
  • Heat some oil in the same wok and stir fry the ginger and veggies for just a minute or two.
  • Add the sauce ingredients - vineger, soy sauce, chilly garlic sauce and water/chicken broth.
  • (You can add some corn starch and honey to the sauce depending on how thick and how sweet you want your sauce to be. I havent added either, to suit to my taste.)
  • Bring the sauce to a boil and add the fried chicken pieces. (Check for salt and other seasonings at this stage. Add some chilly powder if you need more heat.)
  • Transfer the chicken with the sauce to the serving tray and top it with the sesame seeds. Serve with fried rice/ noodles.
