I think I have told you this like once before but I die for Chinese food! I would pay $200 if that is what it takes to get it!!!! I love very meat, veggie, soup, pasta, fried, steamed,etc. I beg my family to get them convinced we should have it for dinner! I will get chicken lomaine, beef and mixed veggies, steamed rice, steamed dumplings, wonton soup, egg rolls. Chow Mein, and like 2 other things. That is just my usual order! Everybody else in my family dose not like it. They say it makes their stomach hurt. So I decided to make my own Chinese food! I have made beef and broccoli and this other beef dish but I decided to make some sesame chicken. Many people eat peanut sauce with this but I just took it simple. I may not be Chinese but I make good Chinese food! Not to brag about myself but I am!!!! I made it the first time with a salad but I decided I need more of a side to go with the dish and I thought of some simple steamed Jasmine rice Jasmine rice is used in many traditional Chinese dishes along with sushi rice. Sushi rice is used more in Japenese foods along with being my favorite rice!! One of my favorite thing to order at the Chinese food restaurant is steamed rice. I like fried to but with this is steamed. Wow, I just gave y'all a whole thing on rice. I have like 4 kinds of rice in my house. I eat a lot of chicken in my house. I will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, tell you this on any other recipe but this is the best recipe of chicken I have ate!!!!!!!!!! I am not just saying that!!!! Sesame chicken has a destiny that it has 110% done!!!!!!!! It is supposed to be the most flavorful chicken ever! Here I will help you imagine. So close your eyes, OH wait, Don't right now then you can't see the screen. So, close them after you read this. Think of a piece of juicy tender chicken with a little sherry, soy sauce, and some seasons, fried with more seasons and sauces, with toasted sesame seeds on top and soft, white Jasmine rice!!!!!(now close your eyes and imagine in)!! Dose not it look good?! It taste great with some steamed veggies!!!!!! It is really good! The perfect delightful delicious dinner any time any day! I try to make this like 4 times a month but I want to make it more because its good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like if I had a dime for every time I have ate this dish I would be rich!!!!!!!!! If you had a dime for how many comments you get the first time you make this dish you will be richer then me!!!!!!! I'm loving it! I have never liked poppy seeds. I know a few people who LOVE poppy seeds. Many people eat it with lemon curd. I think it taste awful. But I do like Sesame seeds. I eat Sesame seed bagels all the time and they give a nice flavorful crunch to any thing. Chicken is the best! I will say, If sesame seeds aren't cooked right they can such. If you burn them they are devils!! Or if you season them badly. Its a win lose situation. So follow the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually watching Top Chef the finale. Down to Kristin and Brooke!!! I like them both so I don't care who wins. It was on like last week but I didn't get the chance to watch it!! So I'm trying to multitask and do a quick post. By the way, During school hours I can't post so you can look and read anything on here but don't expect any new recipes. Sometimes there will be if I do it the night before but useally not.So until like 3 I probably won't post. Just letting y'all know. I never go on my phone during work because we have a rule in the school that if a teacher sees your phone they take it away and your parents have to come get it after school. You also get a MIR home. So I think it is unfair if I get to be on it and text(or play games) and they are doing work. I never really give homework either because when the kids are at home I feel they deserve to have their own time and do what they want. They already have like 7 hours of school a day they don't need more stress. I never eat in front of them either. That will just make them hungry and grumpy.So there are my teaching styles. OMG, Kristin won Top Chef!!!!!!!! You know, after I think of it, I don't know if that is fair. She didn't make it through the whole season so just won last chance kitchen. But thats awesome and its been my dream for a long time to win Top Chef or Chopped or something so GO KRISTIN!!! This is something a Top Chef would make!
