Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Preparation in a wok

Crack the eggs into a deep plate. In a second plate, prepare cornstarch, and in a third, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat the chicken first in cornstarch, then in the egg, and finally in the flour mixture. Heat the oil in a wok and fry the chicken pieces for about 6-7 minutes, until browned. Remove from the wok and place on kitchen paper. Add all the sauce ingredients to the hot wok and reduce by one-third while stirring. Return the chicken to the wok and coat with the now sticky sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Serve on top of the rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and garnish with the onion rolls.
