Steps:
- Wash the chicken under cold running water, pat dry and trim off any excess fat. Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes and put into a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
- To make the sauce: In a saucepan, add the sesame oil and set over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and fry gently until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to dissolve the cornstarch. Gently pour into the saucepan with the fried ginger and garlic. Stir as you pour because the cornstarch will thicken up pretty quickly. Keep warm over low heat.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep-fryer heat enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
- Fry the chicken, in small batches, until golden and crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken using a wire mesh strainer and drain on paper towels. Season with a little salt, to taste. To serve, arrange the fried chicken on a platter and pour drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds and garnish with scallions and cilantro sprigs.

Tips:
- To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the spices penetrate the chicken and give it a delicious flavor.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still make a flavorful dish by adding a generous amount of ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala to the oil when you are cooking the chicken. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor as it cooks.
- Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
