Before I even called him to the kitchen, I knew David would like this one even though he scoffs when he sees me open a can of chicken. Sure enough he smiled when he saw the sesame seeds and smelled the toasted sesame oil. “What’s in it?” he asked with a mouth full. And before I could answer, he followed up with, “Do you mind if I eat the rest of it?’ I just smiled and went to jot down the recipe before I could forget.

Instructions
