Como fazer Awesome Sesame Chicken
- Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small, approximately 1-inch cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Add the chicken cubes and marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better!).
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using).
- Pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
- Heat 3 cups vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the marinated chicken to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Deep-fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per batch).
- Remove the cooked chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Just before serving, stir the 2 thinly sliced green onions into the warm sauce.
- Arrange the deep-fried chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice.
