SOY-GINGER CHICKEN WITH GREENS
I serve these spicy pan-cooked pounded chicken breasts over a mound of pungent wild arugula or other salad greens. Some of the salad dressing serves as a marinade for the chicken.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, the vinegar, salt, garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of the grapeseed or sunflower oil and the sesame oil. Pour half of this mixture into a bowl large enough to accommodate the chicken breasts and add the remaining tablespoon of lime juice and the chiles or cayenne to the bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
- Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you will not use all of it) and tap breasts to remove excess.
- Turn oven on low. . Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons grapeseed or sunflower oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until bottom is browned is spots. Turn over and brown on the other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and sprinkle cilantro over the top. Keep warm in the oven.
- Place arugula or salad mix in a bowl and toss with the remaining dressing. Distribute among plates or arrange on a platter and serve with the chicken.

SOY BALSAMIC GINGER SAUCE
This is excellent on a number of things. It is recommended as a sauce for steamed baby bok choy (also known as pak choi) in the 1997 edition of The Joy of Cooking. It is indeed delicious on bok choy, but it is so good that it is a shame you'd only find it if looking for recipes for baby bok choy. It is also tasty with broccoli or other green vegetables, on fish, and probably on chicken and other things I haven't tried yet.

SOY AND BROWN SUGAR GINGER SAUCE
Great Asian inspired sauce I whipped up for some fried wontons, but learned it would work on just about anything! Sweet and Salty and so easy to make. A must have now in my fridge!

Steps:
- I use a spoon to get the skin off the ginger, and store extra in the freezer- makes it much easier to grate/mince if frozen. All ingredients are really to taste- the base being brown sugar and soy sauce. I would do a taste test first. Its about two to one brown sugar to soy sauce. Taste and trust your own taste buds, sweet but still salty. Then taste as you go through all ingredients and make to your liking!
- I add all ingredients into a small saucepan and then heat over low to medium low heat til sugar dissolves and apricot preserves melt down. Then put in sealable container and store in fridge. Sauce will thicken a lot once cool. Great on fried wontons, add some heat with a chili pepper or 4 and use to coat fried (tempura or otherwise) chicken pieces for my version of General Tso's chicken, or just on nuggets or breasts, also great as a BBQ sauce for pork. I like it enough to just dip bread (or fingers) in! Very versatile!

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for this recipe. If you only have ground ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't let the sauce reduce too much: The sauce should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick. If you reduce it too much, it will become too thick and sticky.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is labeled "naturally brewed" or "traditionally fermented."
Conclusion:
This recipe for soy ginger reduction is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for stir-fries, noodles, chicken, and fish. The sauce is also easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
