Easy Chinese Food Sweet Spicy Sesame Chicken

Instructions

1 In a mixing bowl add all the sauce ingredients and whisk together. Set aside.
2 Set up three bowls/dishes. One for the beaten egg, one for the flour, and one
for the potato starch. I suggest using a mixing bowl for the potato starch so
you can just toss to coat all the chicken pieces. For the seasoned flour add the
flour, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and msg.
3 Set a pan or a wok on high heat and add the oil. Toss the chicken in the corn
starch, then dip in beaten egg, then in the seasoned flour. Place the chicken
into the hot oil for about 1 minute per side. Make sure the chicken pieces
aren't touching. When done, remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper
towel lined plate.
4 When all the chicken is done (and you have about 3 tbsp of oil left in the pan,
if you have too much you can pour some out) pour the sauce directly into the hot
pan. It may bubble and sputter a bit, but just stir it around for a bit. When
the sauce is about 30% reduced then reintroduce the chicken and give everything
a good toss. Add the sesame seeds and toss again.
5 Plate this sweet spicy sesame chicken with white rice and green onion. Enjoy!
