Sesame Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Mix the first four ingredients together in a bowl, and add the chicken.
2. 2
   Turn to coat thoroughly with the mixture, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour.
3. 3
   At the end of this time add the sesame seeds, and in your wok place 1 inch of oil.
4. 4
   Heat the oil, then add the chicken (if the chicken doesn't sizzle when it hits the oil, it isn't hot enough) a few pieces at a time, so that the temperature doesn't drop.
5. 5
   Stir fry in small batches.
6. 6
   Add to thai noodles with peanut sauce, or use as a base for a chinese stir-fry.
7. 7
   For a vegetable base to place over rice, chop up broccoli and mushrooms, and have anything else appropriate (water chestnuts, which can be replaced by Jicama slices) handy.
8. 8
   Put 2 tablespoons of fresh oil in the wok, possibly flavoring it with either sesame oil, or some other strong nut oil (like walnut) that can take heat.
9. 9
   Bring it to temperature, then add the vegetables, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a teaspoon of salt.
10. 10
    Stir everything rapidly around the pan until the broccoli darkens slightly, and you begin to smell a slighlty carmelized vegetable smell.
11. 11
    Then add the water chestnuts and the chiken, swirl around until just warm, and transfer to a serving bowl.
12. 12
    Serve with rice, or possibly cellophane noodles.
