Chef's Tips
Avoid cooking everything solely in sesame oil; it can overpower the dish.
Use a wok or cast iron skillet for even cooking.
Boneless chicken thighs can be used; extend cooking time slightly.
Garnish with sesame seeds, coriander, cilantro, or green onions.
Add vegetables like broccoli, red bell peppers, or snow peas for more variety.

I used almond flour instead of cornstarch and it still turned out amazing. Served it with steamed broccoli for a full meal.

It was okay, but I found the sesame oil a bit too strong for my taste. Will cut it in half next time.
