How To Cook Sesame Chicken
Cut the chicken into very small pieces, about 1/2 inch squares.
Make the marinade by mixing the sesame oil, chili oil, soy sauce, flour, corn starch, water, baking powder. Mix the chicken pieces with the marinade and leave for 30 minutes. Stir a few times while the chicken is marinating.
Heat oil to 375F. Drop the chicken pieces, coated in some of the marinade, in the hot oil. Try to drop them one piece at a time so that the chicken does not stick together. Fry until they are golden brown, approx 3 or 4 minutes. Drain.
How To Make Power Bowls
Preheat oven to 375F. Toss broccoli and cauliflower pieces in oil. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven and bake until the vegetables are cooked through and starting to brown on the edges. This should take around 30 minutes.
Cook rice according to instructions on package.
Add the shelled edamame to a pot with water. Bring to a boil and let the edamame cook for 10 minutes. Drain.
Assemble the power bowl by adding a few spoonfuls of cooked rice to bowl. Top with sesame chicken, roasted vegetables, cooked edamame, green onions and fresh cilantro. Finish with a drizzle of sweet Thai chili oil.
