* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

* 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

* Sauce for Sesame Chicken:

PREPARATION:

Toast the sesame seeds and set aside.



Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.



To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.



To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.



Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.

Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.
