MISO CHICKEN



Miso Chicken image

Making a compound of unsalted butter and the salty, fungal deliciousness of Japanese miso paste is a surefire way of adding immense flavor to a simple weeknight meal. Here the mixture is spread over chicken thighs, which are then roasted to golden perfection. But you could easily use it on salmon or flounder, on corn or potatoes. The recipe calls for white miso, which is more mild than the aged version known as red miso. But you could certainly use red for a more intense result.

CLAY POT MISO CHICKEN



Clay Pot Miso Chicken image

Though this rich, intense, homey stew has the depth of a recipe handed down through generations, it's actually a modern interpretation, by Momofuku partner Joaquin Baca, of a Mexican stew he grew up eating, made with Japanese ingredients. And it's the best kind of comfort food: The dark greens, mushrooms, and burdock, braised with silky chicken in a savory broth, make this single dish feel like a satisfying, well-balanced meal.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

16 chicken thighs, with skin and bone (5 pounds)
1/2 cup dried wood ear mushrooms
10 cups water, divided
4 cups chicken stock (32 fl.oz. ) or 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (32 fl.oz. )
2 stalks burdock root (sometimes called gobo) (optional) or 2 stalks salsify (optional)
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar or 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1 lb fresh shiitake mushroom, stems discarded, large caps quartered
3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled gingerroot
3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 cup white miso (also called shiro miso)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 lb mustard greens, tough stems and ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped (16 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat chicken dry, then roast, skin side up, in 1 layer in a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan until skin is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • While chicken roasts, soak wood ear mushrooms in 4 cups water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain in a sieve, then rinse well and discard any hard pieces. Drain well, squeezing out excess water.
  • Transfer roasted chicken to a bowl and pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure. Let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. Add enough stock to bring total to 4 cups liquid.
  • Reduce oven to 300°F and move rack to lower third.
  • Peel burdock root, and, if more than 1-inch-thick, halve lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Transfer burdock root to a bowl, then add vinegar and 2 cups water.
  • Heat oil in a 7- to 8-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onions until softened and beginning to brown. Add shiitakes, ginger, and garlic and sauté until garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add mirin and boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in miso and soy sauce, then stir in chicken, wood ear mushrooms, burdock (drained), stock mixture, and remaining 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any froth.
  • Cover pot and braise in oven until chicken is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in mustard greens and continue to braise, covered, 5 minutes. Serve in shallow bowls.

CLAY POT SESAME CHICKEN



Clay Pot Sesame Chicken image

From Dana Jacobi's book, The Best of Clay Pot Cooking. She says, "Cooking in a clay pot gives you a particularly succulent version of this popular dish. Serve it hot, right from the pot, accompanied by steamed broccoli and rice. Or let the chicken cool, shred the meat, and serve it as a salad tossed in its velvety, nutty sauce." My husband and I really enjoy this recipe. Prep time doesn't include clay pot soaking time, typically 15 minutes in lukewarm water; new pots require about 30 minutes; drain thoroughly. Soaking time is not an issue for me as I do my prep work while the pot is soaking.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
3 garlic cloves, mined
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sake (rice wine) or 2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 tablespoon chinese red rice vinegar or 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 whole chicken breasts, skinned and split
1/2 cup scallion, chopped (white & tender green parts)

Steps:

  • Pre-soak 3-quart clay pot.
  • Combine the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, five spice powder, broth, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, sesame oil, hot pepper flakes, and pepper in medium size bowl. Mix well.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in one layer in the soaked 3-quart clay pot. Pour the peanut mixture over the chicken, turning to coat well. Cover the pot and place it in a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 450°F and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and garnish with the scallions.

Tips

  • Make sure to use a clay pot that is large enough to accommodate the chicken and all of the ingredients. If you don't have a clay pot, you can use a Dutch oven or a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Brown the chicken before adding it to the clay pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry. On the process of browning the chicken, make sure not to crowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will steam rather than brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the clay pot. This will add flavor and color to the dish. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables with your favorite seasonings. Some good options include garlic, ginger, paprika, and chili powder. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor.
  • Cover the clay pot and cook the chicken and vegetables until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of chicken and vegetables that you are using. Generally, you can expect the dish to take about 30 minutes to cook.

Conclusion

Clay pot chicken with vegetables is easy to make and it's a delicious and healthy meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table.
