  1. It was worth the trip to get, out to get the sesame seeds!

    Changed the recipe a lot, ditched the cornstarch and egg batter and cut the honey by half. Added a couple of big handfuls of kale after stir frying the chicken in some of the sesame-soy-honey sauce, and then added everything back in on top. Mega yum.
