Most people love spicy food. It’s a favorite way to eat, and I’ve always been a bit of a ketchup connoisseur. But when it comes to ordering in restaurants, I often find myself torn between something simple like a burger and fries or pasta with tomato sauce, or something more adventurous like Korean chili, sesame & honey chicken.
This time around it was easy—I knew exactly what I wanted: chicken with chili seeds and sesame seeds mixed with honey (and perhaps some sort of grain like quinoa).
Ingredients
1 large chicken breast
1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
2 spring onions, chopped finely
½ tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp honey (optional)
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp garlic powder, or according to taste
1 tsp ginger powder, or according to taste
3 tbsp sesame oil
How to make it?
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add the oil. Add the chicken to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until golden brown on each side.
- Remove from the pan and set aside in a bowl while you prepare the sauce.
- In another large bowl mix together all ingredients for the sauce until smooth then add your cooked chicken pieces back into it along with some extra soy sauce if needed.Â
- Stir everything together well so that everything is coated in the sauce. But, not too much liquid has been released from any of them (you want some liquid remaining).
