to ames and oomis1105…. sorry for the wait! here goes:
Sesame chicken: estimated time 45 minutes
saute a medium onion with 2 cloves of garlic until transparent, then place in a 9 x 13 pan.
cube 2-3 raw chicken breast into bite size pieces (best to cut while slighty frozen)
place chicken in eggs and then bread or corn flake crumbs.
fry the chicken for a few minutes until all sides are golden. ( the inside WILL be raw, don’t worry about that)
place chicken in the 9×13 pan on top of onions and garlic.
mix (well) a cup of ketchup, a cup of water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 3 tbsp sesame seeds. pour it over the chicken and bake uncovered for a full half hour. remove from oven or cover and keep warm until ready to eat. This goes really well with cantonese rice.
Chicken stir fry: Estimated time half hour)
cut chicken breasts into thin long strips and saute in a bit of oil until chicken turns white. it takes 5-7 minutes AT MOST.
cut thin long slices of carrots, onions, all colored peppers, and snap peas.
remove chicken from pan.
saute veggies, first onions, then add carrots, then add peppers, and then add snap peas last.
place chicken back in pan, turn fire on medium and saute for a few minutes to combine all flavors.
Then, take 3 tbsps of corn starch diluted thin in water, 2 tbsps of soy sauce, and a tsp of mustard, combine well and pour over the stirfry. mix gently and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. turn fire on low, and keep covered until ready to serve.
this goes great with mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce. (can give recipe for that too)
