10-12 cloves of garlic
2 tbsp fresh chopped, or dry flake parsley
1/2 to 3/4 cup light olive oil
1 to 2 tsp salt or to taste

Use a garlic press or a pilón to crush the garlic. Add oil, parsley and salt and mix thoroughly.

IT IS ON MAPQUEST AND THE DIRECTIONS ARE PROBABLY ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO GET YOU TO HOLLAND! BUT THEY ARE NOT THE BEST DIRECTIONS
So, here are some more easy directions to follow.
If you are coming from Lansing/Detroit/AnnArbor
Get on I-96 West. Drive for a long time.
In Grand Rapids, I-96 will split into I-196 going towards Holland and later Chicago, and I-96 going towards Muskegon. YOU WANT TO GET ON I-196 towards

sesame chicken (thing)

2001-09-09T02:38:37Z

Okie, somewhat different recipe, somewhat simpler, still equally tasty.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
small ginger root, grated

Instructions:

Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic and ginger. Mix until fairly even.

Heat up a skillet on medium and cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, until outside of chicken is white.

Pour the mixture over chicken and spread until chicken is covered. Cook until chicken is ready, turning chicken when necessary. This is usually only between 5 and 10 minutes more, but watch it carefully. The chicken is done cooking when you can easy cut a cube in half with the end of a spatula.

Chicken may be served over white rice. Green beans make a nice side dish as well.

Thanks to katyana and dizzy for inspiration. The counterpart lampchop recipe can be found at http://katyana.com/sesamelambchops.html
