I love sauces. I like to add different things to my chicken every night, and recently I've loved the homemade teriyaki sauce posted in the Lean Cuisine area. Now, I'm trying to make a sesame chicken (type of chicken served in Americanized Chinese restaurants) version.
Here is a recipe I found online...
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1/8 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon chile paste
1 clove garlic, minced
Looking at this, I plan on ommiting the cornstarch. That would be mainly used to thicken it (since the recipe is intended for deep frying, which I am obviously not going to do). I may add some guar gum to thicken it a bit.
Anyway, I could substitute splenda for the sugar and lite soy sauce for dark. I'm not sure about the nutritional data of sesame oil.
Chili Paste doesn't have much in the way of anything that is damaging, so I think that would be fine. So...looking at my new recipe, would this work? Keep in mind, I only plan on using 1-2 tbsp per meal.
1 cup splenda
1 cup chicken broth (bouillon???)
1/2 cup water
1/8 cup white vinegar (I'm not sure about this??)
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon chile paste
1 clove garlic, minced
What should I change to make this a legal recipe?
