Sesame Chicken

I got this recipe from Jenny, who got it from another food blog, Picky Palate. Anyway, here it is with her changes.

Closet Cooking's Sesame Chicken
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons ginger (grated)
1 pound chicken (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 teaspoon peanut oil
4 servings cooked rice
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
green onions to garnish
Directions:
1. Mix the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, sugar, ginger and chicken in a ziplock bag and marinate in the fridge for about an hour.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Add the chicken and marinade to the pan and saute until the chicken is cooked and the sauce begins to thicken.
4. Serve on cooked rice and garnish with the sesame seeds and green onion.

I used fresh ginger for my first time ever and I think 2T. is too much for this recipe. I would put less in it since fresh ginger has such a strong flavor. And I used sesame oil instead of peanut oil. I also dipped the chicken (after taking it out of the marinade) in flour and fried it for a little bit in a little olive oil, then finished cooking it with some marinade to make a sauce.
