Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water cold
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Stir-Fried Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots julienned
- 1 cup bell pepper sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, sesame seeds, baking powder, and salt.
- 2 Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
- 3 Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 4 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the battered chicken pieces until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- 5 Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 6 In another pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- 7 Add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- 8 Stir in soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes.
- 9 Serve the crispy sesame chicken alongside the stir-fried vegetables, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
