Ingredients

1/2	pound	chicken breasts	boneless, skinless
1	each	egg white
1/2	teaspoon	salt
2	teaspoons	cornstarch
2/3	cup	vegetable oil	preferably peanut
1	tablespoon	white sesame seeds

Sauce
1	teaspoon	soy sauce, dark
1	teaspoon	Chinese rice vinegar
1/2	teaspoon	sesame oil
1	teaspoon	sugar
2	teaspoons	rice wine
1/2	teaspoon	sichuan peppercorns
2	teaspoons	scallions, spring or green onions	finely chopped

Directions

Cut the chicken breasts into fine shreds 3 inches long.

Mix them with the egg white, salt and cornstarch.

Chill for about 20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until moderately hot.

Add the chicken mixture and stir-fry it quickly in the oil to keep it from sticking.

Cook until it turns white, which should take about 1 minute.

Drain the chicken immediately in a colander or sieve and drain off the oil.

Clean the wok and add about 1 tablespoon of the drained oil.

Reheat until it is hot.

Add the sesame seeds and stir-fry them for 1 minute or until slightly brown.

Add the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir-fry the mixture for another 2 minutes, coating the pieces thoroughly with the sauce and sesame seeds.

Serve at once, or let cool and serve at room temperature.

Mochiko Chicken

Very Very tasty chicken. Just like the one I had when I was in Japan. I used only one egg and added some sesame oil instead. I also added some chopped ginger. For chicken, I used boness skinless thighs. Thank you for this recipe!
