Sesame Chicken

We always see Sesame Chicken around, and hence I wanted to make my own version. But I did not want to go through the hassle of frying the chicken, so I came up with my own version, I think it was not bad, hopefully other people likes it.


Ingredients:
400g Chicken meat (any parts will do)
60g Chinese Mushroom
30g White Sesame
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Salt 1 1/2 tbsp Pepper
1 glass Water
2 tbsp Malt
2tbsp Chinese Shao Xing Cooking Wine
2 tbsp Sugar (preferably Brown Sugar)
2 cloves Garlic
2 slices of Ginger
3 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Marinade:
1 tbsp Salt
1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Pepper
1 tbsp Corn Flour
2 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Sesame Oil

Method:
1. Marinate the Chicken for at least 30 minutes
2. Lightly toast the sesame in a clean wok, take them up when they start to brown, put aside.
3. Heat up a wok, lightly fry the mushroom without any oil, add in 1 tbsp of sugar, add in 1 tbsp of oil when they start to caramelize. Add in the ginger and garlic later on, followed by another 2 tbsp of oil. Keep stir-frying.
4. Add in the chicken, fry them till the colour of the meat changes, add in the seasonings and water. Cover with lid if possible, bring to boil.
5. Remove lid, add in the wine. While still boiling, stir in the Malt, make sure it is fully dissolved. Bring to boil again.
6. When the sauce has thicken, quickly stir in the sesame. Done and ready to serve.
