Description
People love this sesame chicken. It tastes as close to the restaurant version as i think you can get. It is from about.com i found this a couple of years ago on that site, and bf requests it a tleast 2-3 times a month. It really is great, and although there are a lot of ingredients, it's basically simple to prepare.
