This recipe gave me the chance to finally season and break in a brand new wok that I bought for my husband.
For Christmas. Three years ago.
I had a wok that my mom gave me that she had owned since I was little and the handle was getting kinda old and crusty and needed to be replaced.
Oh my gosh.
I just realized I bought MYSELF a new wok for Christmas three years ago. (Maybe that's why he never used it?)
I have tried a number of different Sesame Chicken recipes and this one is the winner!
The other ones I tried tasted floury or too sweet.
Then I came across Sabrina's Sesame Chicken recipe at her blog Dinner, then Dessert.
I only had to adapt it slightly.
I briefly met Sabrina at a conference this year and also went to hear her talk and give great blogging tips.
She is also a bona fide chef!
It was so satisfying to finally find a recipe that worked for Sesame Chicken.
It truly tastes as good as it looks!
It's not too sweet and has just the right amount of heat and garlic. Mmmmmm...
I may just have to whip up another batch this weekend! (In, you know, my husband's wok.)
