1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

One 12-ounce package soba noodles
6 mini bell peppers, thinly sliced into strips
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Add the chicken thighs to a large resealable freezer bag.
  • In a medium bowl or large mason jar, combine the soy, sugar, honey, rice wine vinegar, vegetable oil, Asian chili sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, hot chili oil, pepper, scallion whites and garlic. Whisk or shake until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Add a third of the marinade to the bag with the chicken and toss to completely cover. Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Refrigerate the remaining marinade in a jar, covered, until ready to cook.
  • Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse until cool, then set aside in a bowl.
  • Heat a grill pan or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade. (Discard any used marinade left in the freezer bag.) Cook the chicken, turning, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a cutting board and slice into strips.
  • Add the reserved jarred marinade to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Pour half of the marinade over the noodles in the bowl and toss until completely coated and warmed through. Add the sliced peppers and toss.
  • Pile the noodles onto a platter, arrange the sliced chicken on top and garnish with the reserved scallion greens, cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve the remaining hot marinade in a pitcher on the side.
  • To make ahead: This makes a great kit meal. Put the chicken in a large resealable freezer bag. Make the marinade and pour one-third over the chicken, seal the bag and coat. Save the remaining marinade in a mason jar and seal. Put the cooled rinsed noodles in a resealable freezer bag. Put the sliced peppers in a resealable freezer bag.

TERIYAKI SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Teriyaki Sesame Chicken Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Sharon T

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar or honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into cubes
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Cooking spray
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large zip-top bag, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sugar or honey, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, flipping a few times. Remove the chicken and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until reduced slightly, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, shaking the skillet occasionally until they become browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Coat a large skillet or cast iron grill pan with cooking spray and set it over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Baste the chicken with the reduced marinade. Cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Garnish with the chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds, season with pepper, and serve.

  • 1. Rinse chicken thighs and remove visible fat. In a large Ziploc bag, combine sesame seed oil, soy sauce, Agave Nectar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, cornstarch and water. Then add chicken thighs. Marinade overnight or 2 hours or so before cooking.
  • 2. Preheat oven 400° degrees, remove chicken thighs from marinade and place them on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown. Then remove from oven and let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes.

  • 5. My Pantry Tip One thing I do when my shopping is complete on the weekends. I prep all of my fresh herbs for my meals. Example - I will wash my scallions and let them air dry on a paper towel. Once they are dried, I diced them and put them in a plastic container lined with paper towel to absorbed moisture and place them on my refrigerator door. The will keep for about a week.

Tips:

  • For a bolder teriyaki sauce, use less water and more soy sauce.
  • If you don't have mirin, you can substitute sake or rice vinegar.
  • You can use any type of oil for frying the chicken, but vegetable oil or canola oil are good choices.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked, to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This sesame teriyaki chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal.
