      Title: Sesame Chicken
 Categories: Polkadot, Ferd, Chicken
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Chicken; approximate,
           - cut into small pieces
      3 tb Soy sauce
      2 tb Dry sherry or basalmic
           - vinegar, which adds an
           - interesting tang
      1 ts Ginger; shredded
      2 ts Orange peel; shredded
           - (optional, but suggested)
      3 tb Corn starch
      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 wok place 1" of oil. Heat
  the oil, then add the chicken (if the chicken doesn't sizzle 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 slices) handy. Put 2 tb 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 tb of sugar, and 1 ts of
  salt. Stir everything rapidly around the pan until the broccoli
  darkens slightly, and you begin to smell a slighlty carmelized
  vegetable smell. Then add the water chestnuts and the chicken, swirl
  around until just warm, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with
  rice, or possibly cellophane noodles.
