Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 2 lbs chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
Other
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 tbsp green onions sliced, for garnish

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • large skillet or wok

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate the chicken by combining chicken pieces with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the sauce by whisking together chicken broth, honey, and cornstarch in a separate small bowl.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Garnish the sesame chicken with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  2. Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can lightly coat the chicken in cornstarch before frying. Adjust the honey amount in the sauce to your sweetness preference. This recipe is a foundational sesame chicken; to "grow" five recipes, consider variations like adding different vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers), incorporating a spicy element (sriracha), using different cuts of chicken (thighs), or experimenting with different garnishes (cashews, cilantro) and cooking methods (baking, air frying).
