Another classic Asian recipe that is delicious and easy to make. There are many recipes for Sesame chicken available, and they all pretty much use the same ingredients. I've jazzed this one up a bit by adding the peppers, but you can easily eliminate them without sacrificing the taste of the dish. Enjoy.
