can you post your sesame chicken recipe? thx

I've posted this before, its easy and very good. (and I don't fry, so its good that it is baked) I'm planning on making the chicken cutlets this Sunday and freezing. I'm going to freeze the sauce separate and then on yom tov pour the sauce over the chicken and reheat before the meal.

Sesame Chicken
mix cornflake crumbs with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Clean and dry 2 1/2 lbs chicken cutlets.
Cut into nugget sizes.
Dip chicken in egg and then the cornflake crumbs.
Bake in a grease baking pan at 370 for about 25 minutes or until done.

mix:
1 cup duck sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sesame seeds

Pour on top of chicken and reheat until heated through.

I make cucumber and carrot curls to go with it using a pealer. It really comes out pretty.

Beef bundles in sauce
This recipe is from Bais Yaakov cookbook but I see chocolate moose already typed .
http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....ndles
It looks very pretty served with the sauce on the plate and bundle on top

Tri Color Fries - ra mom posted this recipe for Pesach and it went over really well at my house.

Vegetable Fries (so delicious and vibrant colors)

· 1 extra large sweet potato, about 3/4 pound
· 2 large parsnips, about 3/4 pound together
· 1 extra large beet, about 3/4 pound
· 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
· 3/4 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 400°.
Peel all vegetables. Rinse and dry well. Cut into 1/4 - 1/3-inch-thick fries. (Use gloves when peeling and cutting beets.)

Toss sweet potato and parsnip fries together with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and arrange in one even layer on baking sheet.
Toss beet fries separately with remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange in an even layer on a second baking sheet.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through.
Remove the sweet potato and parsnip baking sheet, and leave the beets in the oven to bake for another 6 minutes.
Toss all three colors of fries together with the kosher salt. Serve immediately.

Meat Pepper roll ups (Bais Yaakov Cookbook)
I like to double the sauce for serving

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 lb sandwich steak, cut into 1 1/2 inch strips
kosher salt
ground black pepper
4 scallion, green tops cut into 3 inch long strips, whites cut into 1/8 inch rings (I leave this step out)
1 green pepper, sliced thinly into 3 inch matchsticks
1 red pepper, sliced thinly into 3 inch matchsticks
1 yellow pepper, sliced thinly into 3 inch matchsticks
1 Tbsp olive oil

mix soy sauce and brown sugar. reserve 1/2 and set aside.
Dip piece of beef in soy sauce mixture. sprinkle with salt and pepper.
place 2 pieces of scallions and one of each pepper across the shorter length of the beef, so that vegetables extend over both edges about 1/4 of an inch. Roll the meat around the vegetables and skewer in the center with a toothpick, set aside and repeat with remaining beef and vegetables.
Lightly brush a grill pan with olive oil or heat the oven broiler. Grill or broil beef rolls, brushing with sauce and turning often until medium rare, 2 to 4 minutes.
[I broil them in my oven until done]
Bring reserved 1/2 cup marinade to a boil, simmer 3 - 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add scallion rings and serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
