Sesame chicken

Due to the heat we had for the whole of last week, I haven’t been able to cook anything in my beloved kitchen. Tonight, as the weather cooled down a bit (hello.. 30c is better than the 45c we had last week), I decided to try some recipes and cook a good meal for my hubby. Of course, after such a long time away from the kitchen, my first meal would have to be … Da – Lah ..ASIAN .. haha .. surprise surprise !!!

I got this sesame chicken recipe from my kitchen snippets. It was very easy to put together, however it was a little bit too salty for us. Overall, the chicken tasted good. Thanks to Kitchen Snippets for sharing the recipe.

For those of you who are curious about how our little niece is going, I have attached a picture of her and me here. She is so adorable!!!
