Sesame Oil Chicken

{{totalReview}}
Sesame Oil Chicken is an easy and healthy recipe. If you grew up in Asia, this would remind you of home and childhood. In this recipe, the power of the 3 sauces - oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce gets released to its full potential when combined with the sharp and earthy flavors of ginger. The Chinese cooking wine then completes the dish, and the taste becomes fuller to almost savory perfection. Season with sesame seeds and serve with warm rice for lunch or dinner.
