Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp Fresh Ginger, very finely diced ((see note))
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 cup Honey
1/3 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce ((sub Tamari for a gluten-free version))
3 Tbsp Ketchup
2 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp White Sesame Seeds, plus more for topping
1 1/2 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
2 Tbsp Cornstarch
3 Tbsp Cooking Oil, divided
2 stalks Green Onions, chopped, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Make sauce by whisking together garlic, ginger, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Set aside.
  • Toss chicken with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  • In a wok or large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and let cook for a moment without stirring until browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Give the chicken a stir and pour in about 3 Tbsp of sauce (it doesn't have to be super precise, so you can just estimate it by tipping in about a quarter of the sauce). Cook chicken in sauce, stirring frequently until chicken is well coated and looks sticky with sauce.
  • Pour in the remaining sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce reduces slightly and chicken is cooked, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Stir in the 2 stalks of green onions.
  • Serve chicken over rice with some more sesame seeds and green onions on top.

HONEY CHILLI CHICKEN



Honey chilli chicken image

This sticky, crunchy, just spicy enough Chinese-style honey chilli chicken is quicker, tastier and healthier than anything you could order from the takeaway.

Provided by Rachel Phipps

Categories     Main course

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
½ tsp sea salt
1 large free-range egg, beaten
60g/2¼oz plain flour
25g/1oz cornflour
1 large garlic clove, minced
3-4cm/1-1½in fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
1 red chilli, thinly sliced
2 large spring onions, roughly chopped
2 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp Shaoxing rice wine, or dry sherry
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
½ lime, juice only

Steps:

  • Make the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients along with 4 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the vegetable oil and sea salt. Stir the egg into the chicken, then add the flour and the cornflour and stir with a metal spoon until the chicken is well coated.
  • Heat enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces in batches and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden. Set the chicken aside to drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  • Discard all the oil in the pan and carefully wipe it clean with another piece of kitchen paper. Return the pan to a medium heat and gently fry the garlic, ginger and chilli in a teaspoon of oil for about a minute until fragrant. Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and allow it to bubble away for a minute or so until it has thickened slightly and is coating the chicken.
  • Serve immediately, with the chopped spring onions sprinkled over the top.

CHILLI CHICKEN WITH HONEY & SOY



Chilli chicken with honey & soy image

A fresh, light Oriental stir-fry which is low in fat and ready in 10 minutes - fresh and light after rich festive fare

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Supper

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp olive oil
375g packet diced (uncooked) chicken breast
1 red pepper
half a bunch of spring onions - about 6
half a 250g packet of rice noodles
½ tsp red chilli spice blend (chopped fresh chilli in a tube) or a small pinch of crushed chillies (from a jar)
3 tbsp soy sauce , preferably dark
1 tbsp clear honey
5 Savoy cabbage leaves
a small handful of fresh coriander , about half a pack

Steps:

  • Put a kettle of water on to boil. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok, tip in the chicken and give it a good stir. Leave it to cook over a high heat while you quarter, seed and slice the pepper. Throw the pepper into the wok when it's ready and stir. Quickly trim the roots from the spring onions (hold them as a bunch and slice off in one go), then cut off the bulbs with a generous length of stem (don't throw away the green leaves). Add the onion bulbs to the pan and stir - by now the chicken should be starting to turn from pink to white.
  • Pour boiling water over the rice noodles in a bowl and leave to soak.
  • Spoon the chilli, soy and honey into the wok, then continue cooking while you slice the cabbage into thick strips - slice them as a stack and remove the white spines first if they're tough. Pile on top of the chicken, cover and cook for a minute or so more while you slice the reserved spring onion leaves and roughly chop the coriander. Toss these into the wok and stir well. Serve with the drained rice noodles.

  • Stir-fry the vegetables in batches: This will help prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Add the sauce at the end: This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.

Honey and chilli stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and spicy flavors is sure to please everyone at the table.
