Method

  1. 1 Chop the chicken meat coarsely with a knife, don't grind it; grinding it finely will result in a mushy texture like sausage.
  2. 2 Mix the minced chicken with chopped scallions, eggs, cornstarch, and pepper, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. 3 Grease your hands with oil and press the dough into a flat patty about 1.5 cm thick.
  4. 4 Pan-fry over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side in oil that covers half of the pancake.
  5. 5 Roast the sesame seeds until golden brown, then coarsely grind them and simmer with soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil for 2 minutes.
  6. 6 Drizzle sesame sauce over the bread when serving and sprinkle with whole roasted sesame seeds.
