    Recipe




    1) Toast the sesame seeds and keep to a side.

    2) Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.

    3) Mix all the sauce ingredients together and pour them into a small pot. Boil the items, stirring constantly with an wooden spoon. Turn down the heat to LOW to keep the temperature just warm while you deep-fry the chicken.

    4) Toss in the marinated chicken pieces, a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken bits.

    5) Just before you finish deep-frying, boil the sauce again. Place the fried chicken bits on a large platter. Pour the sauce over the pieces and also sprinkle the sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
