SESAME CHICKEN AND STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES



Sesame Chicken and Stir-Fried Vegetables image

Categories     Chicken     Ginger     Mushroom     Sauté     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Bell Pepper     Cabbage     Sesame     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole boneless chicken breast, halved
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil plus additional for brushing the grill pan
1/4 pound fresh shiitake or white mushrooms, stems discarded and the caps sliced thin
1/2 pound cabbage, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
1 small red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Coat the chicken with the sesame seeds and season it with salt and black pepper. Heat a ridged grill pan or heavy skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot, brush it with the additional vegetable oil, and in it sauté the chicken for 7 to 9 minutes on each side, or until it is just springy to the touch.
  • While the chicken is cooking, in a large skillet heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it stir-fry the mushrooms for 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and the bell pepper and stir-fry the vegetables for 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. In a small bowl combine well the vinegar, the soy sauce, the sesame oil, the gingerroot, and the sugar, add the mixture to the vegetables with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir-fry the mixture over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Divide the vegetable mixture between 2 heated plates, cut the chicken against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange it on top of the vegetables.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: To ensure a smooth and efficient stir-frying process, prepare all ingredients beforehand, including chopping vegetables, marinating chicken, and measuring sauces.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A seasoned wok helps distribute heat evenly and prevents sticking.
  • High heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the ingredients while preserving their鮮豔度 and texture.
  • Small batches: Stir-fry ingredients in small batches to avoid overcrowding the wok and ensure even cooking.
  • Move ingredients constantly: Continuously stir or toss the ingredients to prevent burning and promote even cooking.
  • Sauce: Add sauces towards the end of cooking to prevent burning and allow flavors to meld.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best enjoyed immediately after cooking to retain their heat, flavors, and textures.
