Sesame-Ginger Chicken

To toast sesame seeds, put them in a small, dry fry pan and place over medium heat. Toast, stirring the seeds or shaking the pan often, until the seeds are fragrant and just beginning to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as they burn easily. Toast only the amount you need, as the seeds taste best fresh.
