Sesame chicken

I was searching for the recipes of some new dishes ( new for me) and while searching the net I came up with sesame chicken. Its pictures were mouth watering so it got me interested and looked for its recipe. To my utter surprise the ingredients were very simple and it was very easy to make. The dish looked, felt and tasted yummy. It goes well with the steamed rice. One distant thing about the chicken is its aromas. If you like ginger and its aroma then this chicken is for you as while cooking the aroma of ginger and sesame oil is going to fill up your whole house ( well I live in small apartment so it was easily filled by aroma). Also it doesn’t take much time to cook and can be cooked in less than half hour so if unexpected guests show up, you know what to cook.
