Here I want to correct a mistake in the video. At 03:16 I said to heat up the oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It was an audio mistake, please keep the oil temperature at 380 degrees Fahrenheit while frying. I am really sorry about that. The video is already uploaded, I can't edit it anymore.
Your recipes are wonderful......May I ask if you have a recipe for "Sam Gip Tai".....I have looked everywhere and have not been able to locate one.....Thank you for consideration.
i made this today for my family (i’m an inexperienced teenager) and it turned out FLAWLESS. this is the first recipe i’ve made where everything looks exactly like the pictures/videos shown and all of the indication in the recipe happened flawlessly at the perfect time. thanks for this recipe and i’ll be making more. my family loves it so much
Hussein...follow the recipe (read it before starting) and you can make about anything. Many chefs try to make the recipe appear more difficult than it should be - ignore those recipes and go to another channel. Mandy is an excellent instructor. I've followed her recipe for won tons (they didn't look like hers but they stayed sealed so all was good.
It took me about 1 and 1/2 hours to make this (and I made a huge mess...) but the outcome was AMAZING! I was a little skeptical about the sauce because it had a bunch of random things in it, but I was proven wrong. I’m 13 and my 16 year old brother helped a bit, so if 2 teenagers can do this, I’m sure you can too!
i didnt know you were that young. am thinking of using our electric deep fryer for the first first fry to save time coz i need to catch up on wow expansion. and this week is double experience with the pet. if u have one have ur brother clean it. haha
Warning ⚠️ alert here! This is the best recipe of sesame chicken u can ever have at home! Do it!!! I did it..and literally I was crying hahahah it’s perfect!!!
If you haven't got a spray for the starch mix, wet a fine metal sieve, let the excess water drip off in the sink and then lightly tap the sieve over your mix
Kung Fu Great idea. I don’t have a spray bottle so I was thinking of buying one this week. I already have a sieve though so I’ll use that instead and use the money saved to buy more chicken lol
@Mario Arenales Gonzalez 😂😂😂😂 not in my house. Pig intestines, no way! I can't see why anyone would eat chitlins...but I can't tell my daddy's people that lol.
@@heritage.home.crochet yea I was bout.to say I'm on your team with this one but my mother's family would exile me for not eating them dirty shits lmao
I made this tonight and my husband said, "I hit it out of the park". He loved it! If I did anything different next time, I would double the sauce. It was delicious!!! Thank you!
I made this dish last night and my wife was blown away by how good it is. So far I have made the Orange Chicken and the Sesame Chicken, both were outstanding. The directions are easy to follow and well worth the effort.
Just made this - after the first bite I had to lay on the floor. This is not a lie. It literally made me faint. The sauce is EXACTLY what you want it to be when you crave sesame chicken.
I tried making this Sesame Chicken and tested it out on the family I got a 10/10 whoop whoop A nice simple easy recipe and thank you to the host for your instructions
My son is a super picky eater, he’s 16 and hates everything lol he just told me this is the best chicken he’s ever had. I finally learned how to make these properly, thank you so much for sharing!
Careful I know a lot of guys who can't eat vegetables cuz their parents let them be picky they become sick and overweight later or just sick...but idk your life just saying
I have made this recipe probably a dozen times since I first watch this video, I wanted to take a minute to finally come back here and say thank you, and for anyone who is thinking about trying this just give it a shot. I basically know the whole recipe by heart now
Hello, delicious recipe, I made it last night with a few changes. I added some minced ginger to the chicken while it marinated. I found the sauce to be much too sweet for my taste so i added red pepper flakes, orange juice, and more soy sauce as well as some sliced green onion. Super delicious and the double fry method really made a huge difference, especially with the starch method you showed. Thank you for sharing, I will be making this again
I made the sauce for my daughter because she absolutely loves sesame chicken but it can be pricey. We ate it over white rice and I have to say it is truly beyond better then restaurant quality. We loved it so much we're making it again for seconds...Thanks so much for the recipe. It's going to be one of our favorites!!!!
I can't wait to try it. Thanks so much. Update! Husband said it's one of the best meals I've made.....I twisted it just a bit. I let the chicken sit for 24 hours in the frig. Thanks so much....new subscriber.
I loved your comments about sesame chicken not being traditional Chinese cuisine, but that you love it. Fusion cuisine at its best. Chinese cooks have been modifying dishes to suit their patrons all over the world for centuries. All with little fan fare or thanks. Here is a place where all their work is appreciated. At the same time, we all tip our hats to the traditional masters who created this amazing cuisine.
**FINALLY!!!** I always wondered how the best GTC restaurants got those little crunch bumps on them! Really makes a difference in the finished dish. Thanks, Mandy! You came through once again. Keep up the great work.
am 18, made this at uni after spending too much money on eating out. this recipe is amazing, doubled up the recipe to make more for later, didnt use a thermometer, just went by eye - turned out insanely good. highly recommend.
Here in 2020. This recipe is amazing and very simple to follow. I am 15 years old and I have very little cooking knowledge and it was so easy and my whole family enjoyed this.
This is by far the best sesame chicken ive ever had and was pretty simple to make with ingredients most already have at home! Thanks and im definitely subscribing for more!❤
Seriously this is an amazing recipe! My husband and I had this for dinner last night & we couldn’t believe how good it was! Thank you! This is going in our family recipe book & I shared your video with my friends & family! 💕
This was amazing! Everyone enjoyed it. I'm from the UK and used corn flour instead of the potato starch. Worked really well. Thanks for another great recipe 🙂
I have already tried this receipt and the orange chicken. OMG! Everyone in my home loved it. I recommend to make a lot because, you won’t be happy if you don’t make enough. I made so much that there was enough for next day. I put the left over in the refrigerator. The chicken taste good cold too and to my surprise, the chicken was still soft. Great recipe. Thank you 😊 🙏
I tried this recipe last night with an air fryer! I substituted potato starch for tapioca starch and it made a delicious crust. The sauce is yummy too and can be used on grilled skewers or stir fry recipes. Thanks for sharing!!
you are so right! about the sauce. i tried her beef and broccoli and had to throw out the sauce, but then i use all purpose flour. the beef was tender and broccoli too. i just got the corrn starch and will be needing another box soon. hmmmm, i got a tapioca starch, u think i can use it to coat the chicken. i hope dont have to strain the oil as much like the cornstarch.
I tried it. The end result was very good, I was surprised. This is by far the best recipe I've ever tried. Most recipes online taste nothing like carry-out. This one tastes just like it. I couldn't find sweet potato starch so I used potato starch. It was extremely white even after frying a long time but the sauce gave it a good color despite the ghostly white chicken. I'll use flour next time as I can really fry up some crunchy golden brown chicken from my Popeyes days. The sauce had me worried as it reeked of vinegary ketchup up but as it cooked and caramelized the flavor got richer and closer to that restaurant quality sauce. It literally transformed into an award winning sauce lol. It is very sweet so I'll probably lay off some of the sugar and use dark brown sugar next time which shouldn't have as much pure cane sugar in it.
I came back here just to thank you for this AMAZING recipe. I've already done it over 15 times😁 It is my Go-to recipe to accompany with white rice and I just wanted to say that this recipe is SO GOOD. Thank you so much for sharing!🥺
How long did u fry the chicken? The chicken i made were dry 😅 but def crunchy tho. and the sauce, did u adjust anything? did the vinegar overpower the taste?
I’ve made this for my family several times now and they absolutely love it! It’s better then what we used to order! Thank you angel, definitely one of my most favorite dishes to enjoy💖
Tbh first I thought it’s such a long video for a sesame chicken but the techniques you have shown is really amazing and it was worth watching every second of your video.
I made this for the extended family last night. It's that wonderful moment when everyone is eating and with 8 people in the house, everyone is silent. They loved it. Thank you for sharing this
OMG, i can't thank you enough, my taste buds have still not recovered from the delicious tantalizing recipe you just gave us!..Mouthwatering delicious, a delight that makes you not want to share! A MAZ ING!!!!! ..
Great recipe. However, it even becomes better if you use 50/50 cornstarch and flour mixture. This combination will ensure a kind of liquified coating, which results in a crispier bite and better oil quality after frying

Yeah; I’ve heard that in China, they are just now learning about Chinese American food but like it. It’s awesome although it wasn’t made the traditional way but meant to suit American’s taste. Chinese people are so smart to find a way to please a whole new culture’s appetite 💜
I felt compelled to come and comment. I typically go for more authentic Chinese dishes and I love her recipes; so when I saw this, I simply had to try it. HOT DAMN. My partner said he’d never get take out sesame chicken again cuz it just doesn’t compare. This was beyond the most delicious sesame chicken I’ve ever consumed.. edit: I also just bought the wok with same day delivery :). THANK YOU!!!
I am currently eating this and it is delicious! This is the first chicken that I cooked. It has no sesame seeds and I used cornstarch instead. Thank you for the recipe.
I made this tonight and it was phenomenal! I was a bit skeptical and was wary of the amount of good comments but oh my God it is divine. So easy, so quick (1 hr and a bit) and so so tasty!
Made a bunch of this tonight and can confirm it is awesome. Definitely a bit labour intensive and will be messy but it is very worth it. Now I know how to get that crispy chicken base can try it with different sauces. Thank you for the recipe!
I just made this recipe for me and my sister and it tastes so darn good. My sister says it tastes just like restaurant meals and i agree with her! Thank you.
When I moved to Greece from New York sesame chicken was what I missed the most! Now I can make it myself and I am so happy. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us🥰
Just made this. Absolutely fantastic! Seriously I been making all your recipes. I feel bad for my regular Chinese restaurant cause I wont be ordering from them now that I know how to make all this food myself. Can't wait for your wok to come for xmas.
I’ve made three of her recipes. This one included. Everything I’ve made turned out delicious! I’m making the lemon chicken now. I just bought the wok she uses (Amazon). I love that too.
Making this right now, bf is on the way home from work and we're making it as a thank you to my family for helping us move! Thank you for this recipe we make it all the time!
I just finished making this, and although I didn't have nearly enough chicken to go around to the 5 of us, everyone absolutely loved it, the chicken didn't turn out super crunchy but it was the best Chinese food I've ever had
don't know if u saw but in the description they changed the fry temp from 300 to 380 degrees in case u ever feel like making this again. i just made this dude and it was super crunchy good.
Absolutely perfect. I changed nothing with the exception of amino acids for the soy sauce cause of my wife's allergies. Chinese American takeout is her favorite food & she can't eat it anymore. This was way BETTER than any takeout. Even got the sweet potato starch. So crispy. Thank you!!
I literally have made this 3 times and probably tomorrow too. I’ve eaten it once a week since watching your video. You have to add the toasted sesame seeds& sesame oil btw. It’s a must. I just love it so much. Thank you for the simple ingredients & tips (I used corn starch & it always comes out perfect with the double frying method & the spray bottle that she showed!! Sooo crunchy !!!!!!!!!)
How do you know whether using the corn starch versus the sweet potato starch substitution, although good could have even been better with the potato starch?
I don’t know because I haven’t tried potato starch. I only use corn starch & it works perfectly fine/extremely crunchy so there was no reason for me to go out of my way to buy potato starch, we don’t have it in the grocery store where I live. I’m sure it’s just as delicious!!
I made this today and I didn't have enough cornstarch. So I used cornstarch and all purpose flour for the coating. I mixed 1 TBSP of warm water with 1 TBSP of flour to thicken the sauce instead of water and starch. (I also had to strain the sauce after adding the water/flour because a few lumps formed). But everything turned out amazing! My husband really loves it as well. Thanks for sharing!
Just cooked it for my family of 6 and i never cooked before. Came out perfectly. Even the 2 picky eaters and the 2 persons that always cook loved it. Amazing recipe!
Made this tonight for the wife & kids! Hands down the BEST sesame chicken we've had. Way better than your average restaurant's version! Thank you for the delicious recipe. 😋
1st time making this & I doubled the recipe. Your measurements were exact. I ran out of cornstarch and used half flour throughout the recipe and it still turned out amazing! I marinated the chicken for almost an hour, it came out soooo tender. I will be making this again & again!
I made this for my family and everyone loved it! This was my first time cooking for my whole family so it was a bit of a challenge but it was pretty successful!
I just want to congratulate you, and thank you so much. Last time I ate this dish was 1995 in New York, I loved it, hadn't had it ever since as it s not the same here in the UK. I JUST MADE IT, IT CAME OUT LOVELY. Thank you, you are Brilliant!!!
Plant Based Folks: I substituted the meat for mushrooms and cooked it the same way she describes, it came out absolutely DELICIOUS! I also used JUST egg to coat the mushrooms instead of the egg white and let them marinate for 45 min. I used the potato starch, made it damp just like she recommends and double fried the mushrooms for the crispy texture. I highly recommend.
I made this tonight for dinner, and followed the recipe exactly. Oh my goodness! It is amazing! My husband came home from work, and he said, "Did you order chinese food for dinner?" I said, "No! I made it!" He couldn't believe how good it was! I also ordered your wok too! I'm so excited to get it! Thank you for the recipe!
This was amazing with the white rice. However, the sauce did not turn out well so I used some Korean bbq sauce I had left over from the asian store. I am 12 and I was able to make this alone without any help from my mother at all. But I have been cooking since I was 9 so I am experienced. Overall, a wonderful recipe. Definitely reccomend.
What? You have been cooking since 9 and you're 12? Aww.. that's so cute and amazing to see a young person knowing how to cook. Very rare these days. Your mom must be proud. :)
@@timbarnbou372 Huh?? I'm not lying, I'm just very experienced and it's a very simple recipe to follow. While it was kinda messy, it's easy to follow. 🙂
Extremely delicious and very crunchy. I didn't have brown sugar, so I replaced it with white sugar, also I replaced honey with corn syrup. The oil was splashing aggressively when I fried the chicken, so be careful.
This is literally the best chicken ive ever made... ive never made chicken this crispy before! im so happy that you broke down the science and everything behind it..thank you sososososo much!! Youre a gem♥️💐
I love her! Because of her I have a cabinet full of chinese food ingredients xD. I do warn everyone to try using a little less sugar in the sugary ones and maybe a bit less salt but otherwise it's so perfect and yummy
Made this for my family a coupltof weeks ago and then LOVED IT i’m making it again today for iftar ! Its really delicious and if u don’t have potato starch i just used corn starch and it worked magically!
I just made this recipe tonight, and it was delicious! Very crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sweet and tangy sauce was well balanced. I appreciate how thorough and easy to follow the instructions were-mine came out perfect the first time. Looking forward to trying more recipes on this channel!
Honestly, I think most people are well aware of this not being actual chinese food but chinese american. I also think no one gets offended bc it it so freaking good hahaha
I lived in the US for almost close to 9 years. I fell in love with Sesame Chicken. When I came back home, South Africa, I couldn't find anyone here selling it. So yeah. I didn't realize it was an Chinese American. I ended up searching yesterday and found the recipe. Will be making it today. Missed it like crazy!
So just a follow up. I made this recipe and it was fantastic. Came out awesome! I did feel like something was missing though. Maybe it's just the part of the US I lived in perhaps that might have made it different. I couldn't figure out what it was until a day later. I actually think they might be adding a bit of ginger when doing the sauce. I'll try doing that next time. Thanks for the awesome recipe.
I'm extremely bad at cooking but I tried this yesterday and it turned out pretty good! I accidentally put 2 table spoons of starch into the coating instead of 2 tea spoons so I had to water it down a lot, but it was still really tastly! As someone who can barely make soup edible, this was a massive success~ Thank you for the recipe :)
I made this tonight because I was so tired of the same old baked chicken and I'm so glad I found this video!!! Delicious recipe! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you like your glaze a little more sweeter just add a tablespoon of white sugar and another tablespoon on ketchup 😋
I know what you mean, but if you ever watch Chinese chefs cook, they control the wok with their left hand and work the shovel and ladle with their right. For her, having the lip on that side makes perfect sense.
Here I want to correct a mistake in the video. At 03:16 I said to heat up the oil to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It was an audio mistake, please keep the oil temperature at 380 degrees Fahrenheit while frying. I am really sorry about that. The video is already uploaded, I can't edit it anymore.
Please anwer me 😔, im doing it right now. I dont have honey May i use more sugar? Xie xie
yes, you can use moree sugar.
Thank you, I thought so about the temp.

Your recipes are wonderful......May I ask if you have a recipe for "Sam Gip Tai".....I have looked everywhere and have not been able to locate one.....Thank you for consideration.
I tried this recipe and used corn starch because that’s what I had in my pantry. My kids loved it so much! Tastes just like take out!
you must've messed it up.
it's supposed to taste better than takeout.
i kid, i kid..... :)
i'm gonna' give it a go tomorrow.
I'm Korean and I use corn starch. Many chinese restaurants use corn starch too because it's far cheaper.

Tbh first I thought it’s such a long video for a sesame chicken but the techniques you have shown is really amazing and it was worth watching every second of your video.
I made this for the extended family last night. It's that wonderful moment when everyone is eating and with 8 people in the house, everyone is silent. They loved it. Thank you for sharing this
She’s so lovely and positive. ♥️ And the recipes are outstanding!
OMG, i can't thank you enough, my taste buds have still not recovered from the delicious tantalizing recipe you just gave us!..Mouthwatering delicious, a delight that makes you not want to share! A MAZ ING!!!!! ..
Thank you for giving us the taste of your heritage!!! I was chef for PF CHANGS for years and I love your presentation!!!
Doesn't P.F. Chang mass produce their food, why are you considered a chef? Been there, yes tasty.
Great recipe. However, it even becomes better if you use 50/50 cornstarch and flour mixture. This combination will ensure a kind of liquified coating, which results in a crispier bite and better oil quality after frying

So excited to launch my first product! A great wok set, just like I have used in my videos over the last 2 years. Learn more and consider improving your Chinese dishes with a new wok! You too can cook BETTER THAN TAKEOUT!
I bought one. This is super cute!
Just got mine in the mail the other day, it's seasoned and ready to cook this weekend!
is there instructions on proper care included? I was considering buying this wok.
@@gibsonlatoya How much did the wok cost? I must've missed that part? Thanks!
@JoAnn Wiley, I paid $59.95 for mines but it was well worth it. I absolutely love it especially the wooden top and the spatula that came with it.
Yeah; I’ve heard that in China, they are just now learning about Chinese American food but like it. It’s awesome although it wasn’t made the traditional way but meant to suit American’s taste. Chinese people are so smart to find a way to please a whole new culture’s appetite 💜
I felt compelled to come and comment. I typically go for more authentic Chinese dishes and I love her recipes; so when I saw this, I simply had to try it. HOT DAMN. My partner said he’d never get take out sesame chicken again cuz it just doesn’t compare. This was beyond the most delicious sesame chicken I’ve ever consumed.. edit: I also just bought the wok with same day delivery :). THANK YOU!!!
Thank you, you are so nice. Hope you enjoy using the wok.
This was so amazing, finally a sauce that doesn’t leave me thinking that it could be better! Also the crunchy chicken...awesome.
I am currently eating this and it is delicious! This is the first chicken that I cooked. It has no sesame seeds and I used cornstarch instead. Thank you for the recipe.
I made this tonight and it was phenomenal! I was a bit skeptical and was wary of the amount of good comments but oh my God it is divine. So easy, so quick (1 hr and a bit) and so so tasty!
I was thinking of making some sweet & sour chicken today, but this looks even better! What perfect timing to release a new video! :)
I'm thinking the same thing... it's a toss up
Made a bunch of this tonight and can confirm it is awesome. Definitely a bit labour intensive and will be messy but it is very worth it. Now I know how to get that crispy chicken base can try it with different sauces. Thank you for the recipe!
I just made this recipe for me and my sister and it tastes so darn good. My sister says it tastes just like restaurant meals and i agree with her! Thank you.
I just made this and it tasted INCREDIBLE. One of the best recipes I’ve ever followed in my entire life ❤️ Thank you!
I just made this. My household is amazed! So good
When I moved to Greece from New York sesame chicken was what I missed the most! Now I can make it myself and I am so happy. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe with us🥰
Just made this. Absolutely fantastic! Seriously I been making all your recipes. I feel bad for my regular Chinese restaurant cause I wont be ordering from them now that I know how to make all this food myself. Can't wait for your wok to come for xmas.
dude me 2 i made it tonight and damn its so crispy i love this recipe anyone looking to make it should read ur review
I’ve made three of her recipes. This one included. Everything I’ve made turned out delicious! I’m making the lemon chicken now. I just bought the wok she uses (Amazon). I love that too.
Made this last night for dinner. It was amazing! Crispy! So good! Best thing I have eaten in a long time.
Making this right now, bf is on the way home from work and we're making it as a thank you to my family for helping us move! Thank you for this recipe we make it all the time!
I just finished making this, and although I didn't have nearly enough chicken to go around to the 5 of us, everyone absolutely loved it, the chicken didn't turn out super crunchy but it was the best Chinese food I've ever had
don't know if u saw but in the description they changed the fry temp from 300 to 380 degrees in case u ever feel like making this again. i just made this dude and it was super crunchy good.
@@justinpineda5854 ohhh okay, I'll try remaking it hotter then, it just became less crunchy due to the sauce coating it. Nevertheless it's delicious.
7:06 "very cute haha like me" 😂😂😂 subscribed
Lol dope
Absolutely perfect. I changed nothing with the exception of amino acids for the soy sauce cause of my wife's allergies. Chinese American takeout is her favorite food & she can't eat it anymore. This was way BETTER than any takeout. Even got the sweet potato starch. So crispy. Thank you!!
That's so cool she can have that taste again, despite allergies! I bet she appreciated that!
I literally have made this 3 times and probably tomorrow too. I’ve eaten it once a week since watching your video. You have to add the toasted sesame seeds& sesame oil btw. It’s a must. I just love it so much. Thank you for the simple ingredients & tips (I used corn starch & it always comes out perfect with the double frying method & the spray bottle that she showed!! Sooo crunchy !!!!!!!!!)
Thanks
How do you know whether using the corn starch versus the sweet potato starch substitution, although good could have even been better with the potato starch?
I don’t know because I haven’t tried potato starch. I only use corn starch & it works perfectly fine/extremely crunchy so there was no reason for me to go out of my way to buy potato starch, we don’t have it in the grocery store where I live. I’m sure it’s just as delicious!!
@@HaleyPrettyEyes100 Thanks for the reply. I'm excited to try the recipe.
I usually eat sesame chickens a lot at the Chinese restaurant. From now, I will try this dish at home with your recipe. Thank you!
I made this today and I didn't have enough cornstarch. So I used cornstarch and all purpose flour for the coating. I mixed 1 TBSP of warm water with 1 TBSP of flour to thicken the sauce instead of water and starch. (I also had to strain the sauce after adding the water/flour because a few lumps formed). But everything turned out amazing! My husband really loves it as well. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made this and my boyfriend said it tasted better than the local restaurant! 😄
The recipe tasted so good, my husband ate most of it before I could get a picture
Just cooked it for my family of 6 and i never cooked before. Came out perfectly. Even the 2 picky eaters and the 2 persons that always cook loved it. Amazing recipe!
Made this tonight for the wife & kids! Hands down the BEST sesame chicken we've had. Way better than your average restaurant's version! Thank you for the delicious recipe. 😋
This was delicious and my husband loved it. LOVED it!! Me too. Thank you for your great recipes!
1st time making this & I doubled the recipe. Your measurements were exact. I ran out of cornstarch and used half flour throughout the recipe and it still turned out amazing! I marinated the chicken for almost an hour, it came out soooo tender. I will be making this again & again!
Lol. 😆 I ran out and resorted to the leftover cornstarch i used for the chicken... I don't know why i didn't think to use flour. Omg
I made this for my family and everyone loved it! This was my first time cooking for my whole family so it was a bit of a challenge but it was pretty successful!
I just want to congratulate you, and thank you so much. Last time I ate this dish was 1995 in New York, I loved it, hadn't had it ever since as it s not the same here in the UK. I JUST MADE IT, IT CAME OUT LOVELY. Thank you, you are Brilliant!!!
Tuga confirmed
i have done this recipe many times. If you follow the instructions you will have better than TAKE OUT! AMAZING!
This is AMAZING!! Be sure to double the sauce part! THANK YOU!!!
ive never ate something this good in my entire life
Plant Based Folks: I substituted the meat for mushrooms and cooked it the same way she describes, it came out absolutely DELICIOUS! I also used JUST egg to coat the mushrooms instead of the egg white and let them marinate for 45 min. I used the potato starch, made it damp just like she recommends and double fried the mushrooms for the crispy texture. I highly recommend.
I made this tonight for dinner, and followed the recipe exactly. Oh my goodness! It is amazing! My husband came home from work, and he said, "Did you order chinese food for dinner?" I said, "No! I made it!" He couldn't believe how good it was! I also ordered your wok too! I'm so excited to get it! Thank you for the recipe!
This was amazing with the white rice. However, the sauce did not turn out well so I used some Korean bbq sauce I had left over from the asian store. I am 12 and I was able to make this alone without any help from my mother at all. But I have been cooking since I was 9 so I am experienced. Overall, a wonderful recipe. Definitely reccomend.
What? You have been cooking since 9 and you're 12? Aww.. that's so cute and amazing to see a young person knowing how to cook. Very rare these days. Your mom must be proud. :)
Then do you know of she said 14 or 40 Cuz I cant tell ph btw I'm 10
Stop the cap
@@walden6272 Thank you! 😊
@@timbarnbou372 Huh?? I'm not lying, I'm just very experienced and it's a very simple recipe to follow. While it was kinda messy, it's easy to follow. 🙂
Extremely delicious and very crunchy. I didn't have brown sugar, so I replaced it with white sugar, also I replaced honey with corn syrup.
The oil was splashing aggressively when I fried the chicken, so be careful.
Oh girl, you are speaking my language, with sesame chicken, one of my favorite Chinese food... thank you for recipe. ❤
Hello how are you doing today ❤️
@@aleksynicolas5910 I'm good thank you for asking .
@@mariahc6888 ohh that's nice.. So where are you from if I may ask?
@@aleksynicolas5910 Arizona
@@mariahc6888 Well im from Poland but live here in Cleveland Ohio.. so how is the weather over there?
Such a pretty wok and I love the wooden lid, congratulations on your product launch and thank you for sharing.
This is literally the best chicken ive ever made... ive never made chicken this crispy before! im so happy that you broke down the science and everything behind it..thank you sososososo much!! Youre a gem♥️💐
This was literally my first time making this and when i took a bite I shocked myself by how it came out so perfectly
I love her! Because of her I have a cabinet full of chinese food ingredients xD. I do warn everyone to try using a little less sugar in the sugary ones and maybe a bit less salt but otherwise it's so perfect and yummy
Thank you for watching and trying my recipes =)
Made this for my family a coupltof weeks ago and then LOVED IT i’m making it again today for iftar ! Its really delicious and if u don’t have potato starch i just used corn starch and it worked magically!
I just made this recipe tonight, and it was delicious! Very crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the sweet and tangy sauce was well balanced.
I appreciate how thorough and easy to follow the instructions were-mine came out perfect the first time. Looking forward to trying more recipes on this channel!
Honestly, I think most people are well aware of this not being actual chinese food but chinese american. I also think no one gets offended bc it it so freaking good hahaha
I lived in the US for almost close to 9 years. I fell in love with Sesame Chicken. When I came back home, South Africa, I couldn't find anyone here selling it. So yeah. I didn't realize it was an Chinese American. I ended up searching yesterday and found the recipe. Will be making it today. Missed it like crazy!
So just a follow up. I made this recipe and it was fantastic. Came out awesome! I did feel like something was missing though. Maybe it's just the part of the US I lived in perhaps that might have made it different. I couldn't figure out what it was until a day later. I actually think they might be adding a bit of ginger when doing the sauce. I'll try doing that next time. Thanks for the awesome recipe.
I'm extremely bad at cooking but I tried this yesterday and it turned out pretty good! I accidentally put 2 table spoons of starch into the coating instead of 2 tea spoons so I had to water it down a lot, but it was still really tastly! As someone who can barely make soup edible, this was a massive success~ Thank you for the recipe :)
EVERYONE NEEDS TO COOK THIS!!!!!!
yep this recipe is so crispy it was awesome
Just made this myself and it came out great! Stays crunchy in sauce and the taste is amazing~
I made this tonight because I was so tired of the same old baked chicken and I'm so glad I found this video!!! Delicious recipe! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you like your glaze a little more sweeter just add a tablespoon of white sugar and another tablespoon on ketchup 😋
I just made it. Highly recommend.
If you ever update this wok you can add a pouring lip on the other side so right handers can easily pour as well
I know what you mean, but if you ever watch Chinese chefs cook, they control the wok with their left hand and work the shovel and ladle with their right. For her, having the lip on that side makes perfect sense.
I made this one time for my family and now they request it all the time. Ive added it to our meals list.
I JUST MADE THIS AND I JUST WANNA SAY THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Jaoooj
I made this and my family loved it ❤️ takes a while but it is so worth it. thank you 🙏
We had it again for dinner tonight! It’s the most delicious meal ever and so easy to make. We all did the crunch test and passed every single time!
“It’s so cute, hehe, like me”

Lol she is pretty freakin stinkin adorable isn't she!
