Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, kecap manis, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken strips to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to soak in the flavors.

3. 3

   In a shallow dish, spread out the sesame seeds. Coat each marinated chicken strip in sesame seeds, pressing down to ensure they stick.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sesame-coated chicken pieces.

5. 5

   Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions.

7. 7

   Serve the sesame-crusted chicken over steamed jasmine rice and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the skillet.
