Ingredients

Coating & Chicken

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (or corn starch)

• 1 lb chicken thighs (cut into bite sized pieces)

• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil

• salt

• pepper

Sesame Sauce

• • 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil

• 2 tbsp So Nourished GOLD

• 1 tbsp vinegar

• ginger (1 cm cube)

• 1 clove garlic

• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions:

1. To make your batter, combine a large egg with a tablespoon of arrowroot powder.

2. Whisk very well and place your bite sized chicken thigh pieces in. Make sure to coat them all over.

3. Heat up a tablespoon of toasted sesame seed oil in a large pan and add the chicken thighs. Leave a bit of room in between each one. Work in two batches if necessary; you want them to fry, not steam. Make sure you're gentle when moving and flipping the chicken. If you're too rough, the breading will come off and the sesame sauce won't stick well.

4. While the chicken thighs are cooking (about 10 minutes), make your sesame sauce by combing all the sauce ingredients and whisking very well.

5. When all the chicken is cooked through, add your sesame sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Let this cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6. When the sauce has thickened and warmed up, take the chicken and add it to a bed of cooked broccoli and serve with a sprinkle of more sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy!
