PF CHANG'S SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sherry, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and a dash of sesame oil and mix until smooth. Fold in chicken until coated with the batter, then cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, chile paste, and garlic to a simmer over high heat. Dissolve ¼ cup cornstarch into ½ cup of water, and stir into boiling sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low, and keep sauce warm.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Drop in half the battered chicken pieces, and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken to a paper towel covered plate and repeat with the remaining chicken. Toss fried chicken pieces in the hot sauce. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds to garnish. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and ginger during last 30 seconds of cooking. Transfer to a clean bowl.
• Add broccoli and water to skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until liquid evaporates.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, onion and bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add chicken back to skillet, leaving any accumulated liquid in bowl behind. Add sesame sauce, cook until sauce is thickened and bubbling, about 1 minute. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
