Sesame Chicken with Gingery Bok Choy

Ok, so this isn't an "Emily original" recipe, but it was SO good, I just had to post it for you.
I found the recipe in my "Real Simple" magazine.

Ingredients:

2 Lg. egg whites
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup plus one teaspoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small chicken cutlets (patted dry)
(1 1/4 pounds total)
4 Tbs. oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbs. grated fresh ginger
2 tsp. sugar
6 heads baby bok choy sliced lengthwise


Method:

In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame seeds, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Dip chicken in the batter and shake excess off.
Heat 2 Tbs. oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, (2-3 minutes per side).
In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, 3 tbs of water, and remaining 1/4 tsp. cornstarch.
Heat the remaining 2 Tbs. of oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add the bok choy and cook, turning until just beginning to soften,1 to 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook until the liquid thickens slightly, and the bok choy is tender. You may need to add a little more water to make the sauce the right consistency.
Serve with the chicken, and some hot, rice.


Enjoy! We sure did!
