About Sesame chicken
Sesame Chicken is a popular Chinese-American dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken, typically battered and fried, then coated in a glossy, sweet, and savory sauce. The sauce often includes ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, and vinegar, giving it its signature flavor. Toasted sesame seeds and green onions are usually added as garnishes for texture and aroma. While Sesame Chicken is flavorful and satisfying, its nutritional profile depends on preparation. The fried coating and sugary sauce contribute to higher calories, fat, and sodium content, making it less ideal for regular consumption if you're watching dietary intake. However, the dish provides protein from the chicken and some nutrients from the sesame seeds, which contain healthy fats. For a lighter version, grilled chicken and less sugary sauce can be used to preserve taste while improving its healthfulness.
