SESAME GINGER CHICKEN

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.

GOLDEN SESAME CHICKEN WITH GINGER DRESSING



Golden Sesame Chicken With Ginger Dressing image

Not something you would ever find in a fast food restaurant, these chickies pack a punch of flavor, and are very pretty too, on their bed of fresh spinach. For couth guests only! ;-) Note: I get the greatest grated ginger (how's that for alliteration?) by freezing the ginger root first and then grating it on a Microplane zester.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 large egg whites (sometimes I just use two eggs)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 lb raw chicken breast (cut into bite-size pieces, but you can make them larger if you want, I'm not going to force you)
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry (drinking, not cooking)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 lemon, juice of (about 2 tablespoons)
1 orange, juice of (about 1/4 cup)
4 tablespoons sesame seeds, mixed with 4 tablespoons black sesame seeds (don't drive yourself crazy getting the black seeds, just double the white ones)
1/4 cup canola oil
1 lb fresh spinach, washed, dried, and stems removed

Steps:

  • Prepare the marinade first:.
  • Combine egg whites, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and scallion. Whisk together until frothy.
  • Add the chicken and marinate, refrigerated, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the Ginger Dressing:.
  • Combine the ginger, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, sesame oil, chili flakes, scallions, lemon juice and orange juice in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside while preparing the chicken.
  • Sesame coating:.
  • Mix the two types of seeds together. That's it.
  • Cooking the chicken:.
  • Drain the excess liquid from the chicken and dip them in the sesame seed coating, covering them completely on all sides.
  • Place the chicken pieces on a tray in the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow the coating to dry.
  • This would be a good time to start preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the canola oil in a heavy pan.
  • Saute chicken on each side until crispy on the outside. Use tongs to turn them.
  • Transfer them to a cookie sheet (I cover the sheet with parchment paper first) and place in the oven 3 minutes to make sure they are fully cooked in the center. (Yes, you preheated an oven for all of 3 minutes baking. Do you want salmonella? Just do it!).
  • Serve the chicken nuggets on a bed of raw spinach leaves and drizzle the Ginger Dressing over the top or put in a bowl to serve on a platter.
  • You can thank me later.
