You can see the mountain of sesame seeds in this one. =) |
Inspired by my friend Maggie, I decided to share my adventure of cooking for my husband, Rob and my family. When we first got married Rob started rating my meals with his own rating system that would "inspire me" to become a better cook. This way I can share his comments and keep track of the things we like. Join me on my culinary journey!

This One Needs Some Work
While searching for some healthy dinner options I came across Martha Stewart's Lighter Sesame Chicken. I decided to give it a try. The sauce seemed way too simple to be tasty but it was. I changed it up a bit though. Instead of 3 tablespoons of honey I used 1-honey, 1-agave nectar, and 1-plum duck sauce. The two tablespoons of sesame seeds was a little to much for just one piece of chicken (we usually share one). Rob's rating: "It's okay. You went a little crazy with the sesame seeds though." The chicken was crispier than I thought it was going to be, but I have an issue with sauteing chicken with batter on it. No matter what I do, I always get splashed with numerous amounts of oil while trying to flip the chicken. Yes I have one of those splatter screens but I still get burnt. I'm going to have to work on that. I may make this one again and definitely recommend it if you want a lighter chinese dish to try, but I think I will keep tweaking it.
