Sesame Chicken Sauce Ingredients:
2 tsp sesame oil
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c rice vinegar
1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 c soy sauce
1/3 c water
Tempura Batter:
1/2 c cold seltzer water
1/2 c cornstarch
2 Egg whites
1/2 c flour
Chicken:
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 lb. chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch chunks
vegetable oil for deep frying
2 tsp sesame oil
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the sesame chicken sauce. Stir everything until well incorporated.
In another mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the batter. Stir everything until well incorporated.
Put the chicken thighs into the bowl with the batter, then toss to coat.
Place a deep-frying pan on the stove and turn the heat to about 350 degrees F. Add 3 inches of oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the coated chicken to the hot oil and cook for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. Transfer them to a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Cook the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding.
Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add sesame oil and allow it to become hot. Add garlic and red pepper flakes, then saute for about a minute or until aromatic.
Pour in the sauce together with the fried chicken, then toss everything until well incorporated. Dish out!
