Christina's Notes
- Make More Sauce: This sweet chili sauce is great over vegetables, pieces of chicken and brown rice. Therefore, make more sauce for tender and juicy chicken.
- Spice: If you do not like spice, omit the pepper or if you love to live on the spicy side, try adding more red pepper flakes or other spices. Salt to taste.
- Honey Garlic: Want more sweetness? Try stirring in some honey to the pan.
- Broil: This is an important step, do not skip it for optimal crispy sesame chicken.
- Go Fresh: Fresh garlic and ginger make this recipe so good. Store the whole, unpeeled ginger root in an airtight container in the fridge to make more Asian sauce later.
- Alternate Cooking Method: Cook in the instant pot for 20 minutes on high. Finish in the broiler.
- Garnish: Top with fresh parsley, sesame seeds or fresh green onions. You can also try it with Worcestershire sauce or ketchup.
- Corn Starch: To make a cornstarch and water slurry, whisk together water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Sauce thickens with the slurry and heat.
