Free mouth watering Chinese recipes, easy to follow & cook, Chinese cooking is simply rewarding!
I made this but with bok choy instead of chinese broccoli. It was delicious. the chicken was tender and flavorful. the comment below that complains about it not being sweet and crispy is used to the super unhealthy stuff you get at chinese buffets that is not authentic at all. I really liked this recipe.

I cold cooked this in a cheap wok over gas. Peanut oil became olive oil, corn starch became potato starch, added thin sliced carrots for color, mixed black sesame seeds with regular for fun.
Very authentic. Quasit has it right, this is a clean version. Good balance.
Highly recommended.

this is actually a much more "chinese" version of this popular dish. it has way less sugar than the american "restaurant" version, and the chicken is not breaded. very nice

I tried this recipe and it was NOTHING like an sesame chicken i have ever had. I was expecting a sweet, semi-crispy chicken meal. But it had a very strong ginger taste and was not sweet at all. My opinion is to try a different recipe than this one.

There are authenic Chinese dishes and then there is the Chop Suey Highway. The much maligned Chop Suey began as a dish served in China's Guangdong Province. It's name back then was pinyin: zá suì. Its on-going alteration to American tastes began in 1888 and has led to the balderized version we know today as "chop suey". Today's chop suey has about as much in common with pinyin: zá suì as a hamburger does with a hot dog. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Chelle, it is probably best for you to stick with the chop suey highway and not comment on authentic Chinese food havng too much of a ginger taste (he wrote in an unintentionally patronizing voice )
