    This is an excellent recipe for Sesame Chicken! Flawless ... just as the name implies! I did not have chili paste on hand, so I used red pepper flakes (about 3/4 tsp.) and the "heat level" was just right. You did not mention the type of vinegar to use, so I used Rice Wine Vinegar, which turned out great. Thanks for posting this! We will definately be making this again!
