oil, for deep-frying

2 tbsp oil

1 clove garlic, minced

white sesame seeds, for garnishing

FRYING BATTER:

1/2 c. (65 grams) all-purpose flour, sifted

1/4 c. cornstarch

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 Egg white

1/3 c. (80 ml) cold water

1 tbsp oil

1 pinch salt

SAUCE:

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Chinese rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar

4 tbsp sugar

2 tsp cornstarch

1/3 c. (80 ml) water

HOW TO MAKE SESAME CHICKEN

Step 1: Combine the sauce ingredients until well mixed and set aside.

Step 2: In a bowl, whisk the Frying Batter ingredients until incorporated, stirring a few times to ensure that no lumps remain and the batter is smooth. Into the batter, add the chicken, and toss to coat.

Step 3: In a wok or stockpot, heat 2 to 3-inches or 5 to 7.5ml oil to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. Into the hot oil, carefully drop the chicken, quickly loosen the pieces using a spatula to make sure that they are not clumping together. Deep-fry the chicken until golden brown. Then, using a strainer or slotted spoon, take the chicken out of the oil and lay it on a paper towel-lined dish. Discard the oil.

Step 4: In a wok or skillet, heat up to 2 tbsp oil over high heat. Once hot, stir-fry the garlic until fragrant, then add in the sauce. Once the sauce has thickened, add the fried chicken and stir endlessly until well coated.

Step 5: Before serving, garnish with white sesame. Serve with steamed rice and enjoy immediately.

NOTES:

If your batter turned out to be too thick just add 1 to 2 tbsp water.
