How To Make Sesame Chicken?
- To prepare the sauce, add and mix all the ingredients into a medium size bowl and combine. Set aside.
- To make the batter, add all ingredients into a medium size bowl and mix using a whisk until batter is smooth.

- Heat 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) of the oil in a wok or a stockpot to 350°F (175°C) for deep-frying. Gently drop the chicken into the oil and loosen them up immediately with a spatula to prevent the chicken from clumping together.

- Heat up 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic before adding the Sauce.
- As soon as the Sauce thickens, add the fried chicken into the wok or skillet.
- Stir continuously until all the ingredients are well coated with the sauce.
- Garnish with the white sesame, and serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables.
