Chinese sesame chicken
Much easier to prepare than the ingredient list indicates. If you are a fan of Chinese food you will love this dish. No more ordering chicken from chinese restaurants! Now you know how to make it yourself. Serve with jasmine rice.

Combine the 1/2 cup water, chicken broth, vinegar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, red chili paste, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low and keep warm, stirring occasionally.
