Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb sesame chicken
  • a pinch soy sauce
  • 4 oz garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp scallions
  • 1 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves Shaoxing wine
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the sesame chicken dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the sesame chicken, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
