Recipe

1. First, let's make white rice. In a pan place the rice, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. With the heat to the maximum add 2 cups of hot water and go stirring from time to time.

2. When the water starts to disappear, cover the rice and place the stove on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. And the rice is ready.

3. In a bowl add sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, ketchup, brown sugar, and soy sauce. This preparation will be used at the end to create the sticky sauce.

4. In another bowl place the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

5. Cut the chicken breasts into cubes and pass them through cornstarch, then egg, and finally in the previously seasoned flour.

6. After that, is time to fry the chicken.

7. In a wok pan or ordinary pan, place the 5 tbsp of vegetable oil and let it get very hot.

8. After checking that the vegetable oil is ready to fry, place the breaded chicken for frying. Depending on the dimensions of your utensils, you can fry everything at once or twice. Fry the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Then remove the chicken to a plate with a paper towel to absorb the fat. Taking advantage of the flavor left in the frying wok pan let's add the sauce preparation to it.

10. Let the sauce start to boil and thicken. After thickening it is ready and you can add the fried chicken back to the wok pan to wrap.

11. And that's it, now it's time to plate!

12. On a plate, place the white rice with the fried chicken on top and full of sauce, add sesame seeds, and cut some chives.
