Sesame Chicken
Crisp chicken, glossy sweet-soy glaze, toasted sesame. 47g protein.
Crisp-edged chicken in a glossy sweet-savory soy and brown sugar sauce, buried in toasted sesame seeds: the sweet one on the takeout menu, rebuilt. An egg-white cornstarch coat pan-seared in a nonstick skillet gives the crunch, and seared baby bok choy makes it a full plate.
