Just like most Chinese recipes, the original recipe is also made using crunchy veggies, sweet-spicy sauce and crunchy chicken that’s fried.

So you get the same taste, crunch but half the calories, so definitely go for that extra helping 🙂

As you might remember from my last post, I’m trying to get back on a healthier eating routine after spending an entire month or so gorging on all kind of food. Now my definition of healthy food‘, doesn’t mean boring, bland or curbing any particular food item. It’s more like eating regularly, right quantity, less of high-calorie food and making a healthier version of my favorite recipes. Continuing with that, today I’m going to share a quick but healthy recipe for Stir-Fry Sesame Chicken. It’s one of my goto chicken recipes but it’s usually deep-fried chicken in a thick sticky sauce using sugar and cornstarch. My version is without any sugar or cornstarch, low in salt and includes a lot of vegetable along with chicken which makes it lighter and crunchy. This Stir-Fry Sesame Chicken recipe is made under 15 minutes and can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Best served fresh along with your choice of side.

Pro Tip :

When cooking with Soy Sauce, always keep in mind the salt content. Soy Sauce is high in salt hence if you’re adding additional salt, taste the dish before doing so.
