       Title: Sesame Chicken
  Categories: Polkadot, Ferd, Chicken
       Yield: 4 Servings
  
       1 lb (Approx) of chicken,
            Cut into small pieces.
       3 tb Soy Sauce
       2 tb Dry sherry
            (Or Balsamic Vinegar,
            Which adds an interesting
            Tang)
       1 ts Shredded ginger
       2 ts Shredded orange peel
            (optional, but suggested)
       3 tb Cornstarch
       4 tb Sesame seeds (raw).
  
   Mix the first four ingredients together in a bowl, and add the
   chicken. Turn to coat thoroughly with the mixture, and place in the
   refrigerator to marinate for at least an hour.  At the end of this
   time add the sesame seeds, and in your wo k place 1″ of oil.  Heat
   the oil, then add the chicken (if the chicken doesn't s izzle when it
   hits the oil, it isn't hot enough) a few pieces at a time, so that
   the temperature doesn't drop.  Stir fry in small batches.  Add to
   thai noodles with peanut sauce, or use as a base for a chinese
   stir-fry.
   
   For a vegetable base to place over rice, chop up broccoli and
   mushrooms, and have anything else appropriate (water chestnuts, which
   can be replaced by Jicama sl ices) handy.  Put 2 tablespoons of fresh
   oil in the wok, possibly flavoring it w ith either sesame oil, or
   some other strong nut oil (like walnut) that can take heat.  Bring it
   to temperature, then add the vegetables, 1 TBsp of sugar, and a tsp of
   salt.  stir everything rapidly around the pan until the broccoli
   darkens slightly, and you begin to smell a slighlty carmelized
   vegetable smell. Then ad d the water chestnuts and the chiken, swirl
   around until just warm, and transfer to a serving bowl.  Serve with
   Rice, or possibly cellophane noodles.
