Christina's Notes

    • Toast: The sesame seeds add great flavor when you toast them.
    • Low Sodium: Healthier versions of your favorite sauces can help make this dish even better.
    • Quick Tip: Premade microwave rice. Such as: basmati rice or Sticky Rice.
    • Alternate sauce: Time saving premade sauce, for example, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Sauce for Honey Sesame Chicken.
    • Finish: Top with some diced green onions. Orange Juice or Orange Zest add a little fresh zing.
