Honey Sesame Chicken Cutlets 蜜糖芝麻鸡块

Bi-lingual | 双语版

We are having a small family potluck party tonight and I wanted to cook something that is suitable for all ages. My old ma likes food that are crunchy and so does my duo. I was out of idea so I decided to just do a round visit in the supermarket to find my inspiration, and I found. When I saw the  fresh chicken meat on the shelves, I thought to myself it's time to cook some traditional Chinese dish that is our family's favorite whenever we visit the restaurants - Sesame Chicken Cutlets, in honey sauce.

Served with some baby pak choy, it was quickly finished up in the dinner.

Give it a try, your little ones will probably thank you for it. ;)

600gm/ 3 strips of chicken breast, cut into cubes 600克/三大片鸡胸肉，切块

For Marinate / 调味料

3 tablespoon soy sauce 三汤匙酱油

1 teaspoon sesame oil 一茶匙芝麻油

1 tablespoon corn flour 一汤匙粟粉

1 teaspoon of Shao Xin wine 一茶匙花雕绍兴酒

A dash of salt 盐适量

A dash of pepper 胡椒粉适量

For coating / 煎料：

1 egg, beaten 蛋一粒，打散

5 tablespoons corn flour 粟粉，五大匙

For sauce / 酱汁

1 tablespoon of organic sesame seeds 一大匙白芝麻

2 tablespoons raw honey (adjust accordingly) 两大匙野生蜜糖 （自己加调)

1 tablespoon soy sauce 一大匙酱油

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce 一大匙黑酱油

1 teaspoon brown sugar 一茶匙黄糖

5 tablespoon water 五汤匙清水

 

The Making / 做法:

1. Marinate the chicken cutlets with the marinating ingredients (except sesame seeds) for 10 minutes or more. 

把鸡肉切块，以酱料（除了白芝麻）腌十分钟左右。

2. On a heated wok, cook the sesame for a minute without oil, set aside. 

用一个烧锅炒香白芝麻，免油。

3. Heat up about 5 tablespoon of cooking oil, coat the chicken cutlets with egg liquid follow by corn flour, deep fry for about 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. 

烧热一锅油 （约五大匙的油）把鸡肉块裹上蛋液和粟粉，放入热油中大火炸约三、五分钟至金黄色。

4. Set the fried cutlet aside, use a kitchen towel to absorb the excess oil if too oily. Discard the excess cooking oil.

把鸡肉块捞起备用，用吸油纸吸掉多余的油。把锅里的余剩的油倒掉。

5. Mix the ingredient for the sauce in a bowl, then heat up on the wok. When the sauce is starting to boil, add the chicken cutlet and stir fry for about a minute. 

用小碗把酱料调均，倒入热锅中烧滚，加入鸡肉块，快炒1分钟左右至酱汁完全被吸收，即可熄火。

6. Dish out the cutlets to serve on a plate of blanch baby bak Choy, sprinkles the sesame seeds right before serving.

把鸡肉块盛在碟上（我用烫熟的小白菜铺在盘底），撒上炒熟的白芝麻，即可上桌。

趁热吃哦！香喷喷的蜜糖芝麻鸡块和着热腾腾的白米饭入肚，人生一大乐也。我的小瓜们各吃了好多块呢！

You are all set! Enjoy the dish as is with a bowl of steaming white rice, the sweet and aromatic sauce will sure stir up your appetite.. My duo actually ate many pieces of the chicken cutlets nonstop :)
