Time 40m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups shredded poached chicken breast (1 whole breast on the bone; see below)
9 ounces udon or soba
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/2 pound baby bok choy ---blanch until water comes back to boil then slice
1 Persian cucumber or 1/3 European cucumber, cut in 2-inch julienne
1 stalk celery, cut in 2-inch julienne
1/2 to 1 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1-2 serrano peppers, minced (optional)
3 tablespoons tahini (a runny variety if possible, available in Middle Eastern markets)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons hot red pepper oil (to taste)
Pinch of cayenne
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ginger juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth or water (more to taste)

Steps:

  • To poach the chicken breast, combine 1 quart water with 1 quartered onion, 4 thick slices of ginger, 2 crushed whole garlic cloves and salt to taste in a 2-quart saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, and bring back to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises. Cover partially, reduce the heat to low and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (it should register 160 on a meat thermometer at the thickest section). Allow the chicken to cool in the broth if there is time. Remove the chicken from the broth when cool enough to handle. Remove and discard the skin. Remove from the bone and shred, pulling strips of chicken off the top of the breast. Pull with the grain and the meat will come apart naturally. Strain the chicken broth, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, skim off and discard the fat, and freeze the broth in smaller containers or freezer bags.
  • Cook the noodles. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well. Toss in a bowl with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and refrigerate while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add salt if desired and add the bok choy. Blanch for 1 minute and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Slice crosswise and add to the noodles. Add the remaining ingredients. Season if desired with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together all of the ingredients for the dressing. Toss with the salad and serve, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

SESAME CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Chicken Salad image

Flavorful and so delicious, this sesame chicken salad will wow you!

Provided by MommyBennett

Categories     BBQ & Grilling     Chicken     Salads

Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 medium head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
¼ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
½ cup crispy fried rice noodles

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for marinade together in a small bowl; pour over chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger for dressing in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, place sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Shake the pan like you are making popcorn and toast until seeds give off a lovely toasted smell, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool; if you leave them in the pan they will continue to cook and burn.
  • Place napa cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl with chicken and toasted sesame seeds. Toss together, then mix in the dressing. Divide salad onto plates and top with crispy fried noodles.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • For a more intense sesame flavor, toast the sesame seeds before adding them to the dressing.
  • If you don't have any rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the chicken and noodles according to the recipe and let them cool completely. Store the chicken, noodles, and vegetables separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, combine all of the ingredients and toss with the dressing.
  • This salad is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. If you have some cooked chicken on hand, simply shred or dice it and add it to the salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken noodle salad with creamy sesame dressing is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its combination of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
