Chinese Sesame Chicken 🥡 with Vegetable Fried Rice 🍚 recipe by morEwish️ ️

Craving Chinese? Get a dinner that's fresher—but just as fast as—takeout with this easy sesame chicken. A little bit salty, a little bit sweet, and a touch nutty, the chicken is cooked to a golden brown finish. Just add steamed broccoli or Crunchy Asian Salad as a side, for a well rounded meal and dinner is served! I served with Vegetable Fried Rice today 🍚

Everyone loves Chinese Sesame Chicken— deep-fried and crispy chicken coated with a sweet, savory sauce, and speckled with lots of sesame seeds. Here and you can probably make this homemade in about the same amount of time that it takes for the take out guy to get to your door. 🇨🇳️

This fried rice is loaded with veggies and only takes 20 minutes to make! Vegetable Fried Rice has to be one of my family all time favorite dishes. I love making Chinese food at home and fried rice is always the perfect accompaniment to my takeout style dishes. Fried rice is one of those things that can be made from just about anything. All you need is some leftover rice and various mix-ins. If I am making it for a company I always pre-boil rice with salt and keep them in fridge before stir frying them, they won't break into bits while mixing.
