Gotta Have Faith

I’ve really prioritized sleep for the last couple of nights, and yesterday was much better. For the moment, I feel sane.

I really recommend sesame crusted chicken for a fun alternative to breading. I’ve never been a huge fan of breading, but I love this, and it’s really simple. You just pour out lots of roasted or toasted sesame seeds onto a dinner plate or other work surface, mix in some seasonings, and then take a piece of raw chicken or fish and press it down into the sesame seeds. They stick just fine without any egg or flour. Then just throw it into a nonstick pan to cook. There are only two things you have to really watch: 1) Don’t let the seeds burn in the pan. They should be fine, but watch to make sure that your heat isn’t too high. 2) Once you’ve put the meat in the pan, don’t touch until you need to flip it. The seeds have a tendancy to fall off and not be as pretty if you flip the meat back and forth a lot or otherwise move it around. I know that some places charge a lot for sesame seeds, but you can get huge containers of them for cheap in the Asian section of the grocery store.
