Ingredients
- 2 Egg Whitess
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds
- 1/4 cup 100% Pure Cornstarch
- 1 1/4 lb Chicken Skinless Fillets
- 4 tbsp Canola Oil
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Ginger Root
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 lb Bok Choi (baby)
Directions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame seeds, ¼ cup of the cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Dip the chicken in the batter and shake off the excess.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil and the remaining chicken.
3. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and the remaining teaspoon of cornstarch.
4. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and cook, turning, until just beginning to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and jalapeño and cook until the liquid has thickened slightly and the bok choy is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with the chicken.
