Crispy fried chicken pieces with a sweet and salty sesame sauce.
Do you like Chinese? We love it. Most Asian dishes are easy to prepare once you learn just a few tricks to the trade. This Easy Sesame Chicken Recipe is one of my favorites, with so much incredible flavor.
HOW TO MAKE SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE
Start by beating the eggs, cornstarch, salt, and pepper together. Then add the chicken and stir to combine. Let it sit for a few minutes while you heat several inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a heavy pot or Dutch Oven. Once the vegetable oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces until they are golden brown and crispy. Work in batches and move to paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, in a large dry skillet over medium high heat add the sesame seeds and cook until lightly toasted shaking the skillet several times. Remove the sesame seeds to a small bowl.
With just a few simple steps you can have better than takeout sesame chicken.
In the same skillet, heat a little olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, and chili sauce. Simmer while you finish pan frying the chicken. Mix the cornstarch with the water and whisk into the sauce mixture and cook until thickened.
Add the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to combine with the sauce and garnish with the green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve over rice or Chinese noodles.

Custard Cream Donuts
A bakery is not a bakery if it does not have custard cream donuts. If you pass by one, look for small bread coated with sugar and some excess filling on the side (usually tells the flavor of the filling). Custard cream donuts is one of my favorite pastries ever since. This is our usual snack after we play patintero and piko at the nearby playground. We have this with some ice cold sago’t gulaman also from the bakery.
INGREDIENTS
For the cream filling:
3 egg yolks
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup heavy cream (or all purpose cream)
1 cup fresh milk (or any liquid milk)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons of butter
For the bread:
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
¼ cup white sugar
¾ cup powdered milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup of water
3 tablespoons of oil
Sugar for coating
Cooking oil for deep frying
