The Chinese Five-Spice powder gives it that extra bite you're looking for. If you don't have Mirin (Mirin is a sweet rice wine) you can substitute 1 Tb dry sherry +1/2 tsp sugar or white wine + sugar to taste. Hope you enjoy. Serve this with rice or noodles. It doesn't make very much sauce so I would double the sauce. You don't want the rice soaked in sauce just coated with the sauce.
Ingredients:
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon minced gingerroot or 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon chinese five spice powder
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Cut chicken into 1 inch strips.
2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, honey, five-spice spice powder, and cornstarch, coat chicken well, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Heat oil in large frying pan over high heat.
4. Add chicken. Stir-fry 5 minute or until lightly browned.
5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
