Ingredients for Sesame chicken:
- 500 gr of chicken breast cut into strips
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoons of sugar

- 2 teaspoons of cornmeal (cornstarch) dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water
- Vegetable oil
Equipment

Step by Step Instructions
- In a container, we make the marinade, for this, we mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, the egg white, and the previously crushed garlic clove. When we have it well mixed, let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in another container, make the sauce by mixing the chicken broth, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and sugar. In a large bowl, we place the chicken pieces and the marinade that we had prepared. Mix well with your hands until the chicken is well impregnated.
- Heat abundant vegetable oil over high heat in a wok, filling it with approximately 1/3 of its capacity. When the oil is already hot, we pass the chicken pieces in flour and then fry in the oil for approximately 3 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat the sauce for 2 minutes so that the sugar dissolves completely. Add the dissolved cornstarch and cook, stirring slowly until the sauce thickens. Now we add the chicken pieces and mix until they are covered by the sauce. Serve and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Bon Appetite!
