Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 ounces each
salt and black pepper
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped gingerroot
1/2 cup wine, mirin (or any good rice wine)
1 cup chicken stock

1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F. For the chicken breasts, season chicken with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix sesame seeds and chile flakes and then dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat them. Heat vegetable oil in a large saute pan until smoking hot. Add chicken brests and brown each side well, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from pan and transfer to a baking pan. Bake for another 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken breasts are just cooked through.
  • For the sauce,while the chicken breasts are baking, heat veg. oil in the same pan you removed them from. Add the garlic and gingerroot and saute until you can smell the aroma, 1 to 2 minutes over high heat. Add mirin wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and boil over high heat to reduce a bit, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • If the chicken breasts are finished cooking by this time, remove them from the oven and allow to stand. Add hoisin sauce and chile sauce to saute pan and bring to a boil. Season with sesame oil, basil, and soy sauce.
  • Serve chicken breasts over steamed rice or couscous. Serve half of the sauce over the chicken and the remainder on the side. This will not be a very thick sauce; it is meant to be thin and light. Enjoy!

SESAME GINGER CHICKEN



Sesame Ginger Chicken image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons sesame oil
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Vegetable or peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
4 tablespoons Chinese Shoaxing rice wine
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sambal chili sauce
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce
1 lemon, zest and juice
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Scallions, thinly sliced on an angle, for garnish
Rice, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chicken marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce and pepper. Toss to coat, cover, place in the refrigerator and let sit 1 hour. For the stir-fry: Remove the chicken from the fridge. Add 1 cup cornstarch to a shallow baking dish and dredge each piece of chicken, shaking off any excess. Fill a Dutch oven or high-sided saute pan with enough oil to completely submerge the chicken pieces. Heat over high heat until glossy and the temperature reaches 375 degrees F. Deep fry the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes, adding your chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and to keep your oil from dropping in temp too much. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Next, add the rice wine, hoisin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey and the chili sauces; bring to a simmer. In a glass measuring cup, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup very cold water (make sure you water is cold to avoid lumps!), whisking until combined. Add the mixture to the sauce and simmer for an additional minute, until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add in the fried chicken and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the lemon zest and juice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and scallions. Serve warm over rice.

SIMPLE SESAME GINGER CHICKEN



Simple Sesame Ginger Chicken image

This is a quick way to flavor chicken; because it's thick, you can baste instead of having to marinate. I suggested a couple of different ways to prepare this.

Provided by ChrisMc

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
3 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
3 -4 chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Blend the soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds, and ginger well.
  • Baste the chicken breasts and broil or grill 5-8 minutes on each side, brushing frequently with sauce.
  • Alternately, cube the chicken and baste/marinate in the sauce, then fry in very hot oil and serve with vegetables over rice as a stir-fry.

SESAME-GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Sesame-Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup image

This noodle soup is a grown-up riff on an old college favorite: Taiwanese instant ramen. The scent of the simmering, chicken-and-ginger broth conjures vivid memories of late-night instant-noodle snacks. This version has all of the good qualities of the store-bought kind, but it's richer in flavor thanks to the bone-in chicken breast (bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs would work too). It hits all the comforting notes of a typical chicken noodle soup, brightened by a hint of sesame oil, fresh scallions and a heavy dose of ginger used in the broth and as a garnish.

Provided by Sue Li

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced, plus extra julienned ginger, for garnish
1/4 cup rice cooking wine or any type of white wine
12 ounces fresh ramen noodles or 8 ounces dried ramen noodles
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Ground white or black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a medium pot over medium. Season chicken with salt and add to pot, skin-side down, along with sliced ginger. Cook, turning, until the chicken skin and ginger slices are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add rice cooking wine and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, partially cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is tender and the broth is flavorful, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and transfer to a bowl until cool enough to handle. Strain the broth, discarding the ginger, then season with salt, cover and set aside. When the chicken has cooled, discard the skin and bones and shred the meat then return it to the broth.
  • Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions.
  • Divide cooked noodles among bowls and top with the chicken and its broth. Garnish with scallions, julienned ginger, a sprinkle of pepper and more sesame oil.
