Korean - salt, sesame oil marinade

much - sesame oil
tiny bit - soy sauce
few heavy pinches - salt
small spoon - sugar
potato starch - big tablespoon
large shakes - sesame seed

marinated skinless chicken for 3 hrs...then panfried....wonderful! with a beautiful, crispy crust..didn't burn either...quite nice..took approx 8 minutes, flipped every few minutes to hit all sides..sauteed semi-firm tofu pieces with leftover oil (weird thing is the sesame seed was lost in the eating of it..maybe need to toast first)

ALSO...used the same recipe but steamed it...using the same tofu as as base with the chicken topped over...dropped in steamer for about 15 minutes after rolling boil of the water...not as good as panfried but healthier and still pretty good...liked the tofu taste but too much water left over in the bowl...think if i drained the tofu better but squashing it, the flavors would have been stronger
