  • Add the reserved jarred marinade to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Pour half of the marinade over the noodles in the bowl and toss until completely coated and warmed through. Add the sliced peppers and toss.
  • Pile the noodles onto a platter, arrange the sliced chicken on top and garnish with the reserved scallion greens, cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve the remaining hot marinade in a pitcher on the side.
  • To make ahead: This makes a great kit meal. Put the chicken in a large resealable freezer bag. Make the marinade and pour one-third over the chicken, seal the bag and coat.

Teriyaki Sesame Chicken Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Sharon T

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon raw sugar or honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into cubes
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Cooking spray
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large zip-top bag, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sugar or honey, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight, flipping a few times. Remove the chicken and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until reduced slightly, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, shaking the skillet occasionally until they become browned and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Coat a large skillet or cast iron grill pan with cooking spray and set it over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Baste the chicken with the reduced marinade. Cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Garnish with the chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds, season with pepper, and serve.

2 clove garlic, minced

1/2 c water

1/2 c scallions diced for garnish
2 Tbsp sesame seeds for garinish
TERIYAKI SAUCE OR YOU CAN BUY IT
2 Tbsp honey or agave nectar
2 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 Tbsp cooking sherry
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1/2 c hoisin sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse chicken thighs and remove visible fat. In a large Ziploc bag, combine sesame seed oil, soy sauce, Agave Nectar, rice wine vinegar, garlic, cornstarch and water. Then add chicken thighs. Marinade overnight or 2 hours or so before cooking.
  • 2. Preheat oven 400° degrees, remove chicken thighs from marinade and place them on baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until golden brown. Then remove from oven and let rest for about 5 - 10 minutes.
  • 3. While thighs are cooking, to make teriyaki sauce, in a small sauce pan add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sherry, ginger and Hoisin sauce and let simmer for about 3 - 5 minutes over medium heat until the sauce becomes glossy and caramelized. Remove from heat and set a side.
  • 4. After thighs have rested, slice in strips and place in serving dish and pour Teriyaki sauce over sliced thighs, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with white or brown rice.
  • 5. My Pantry Tip One thing I do when my shopping is complete on the weekends. I prep all of my fresh herbs for my meals. Example - I will wash my scallions and let them air dry on a paper towel. Once they are dried, I diced them and put them in a plastic container lined with paper towel to absorbed moisture and place them on my refrigerator door. The will keep for about a week.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ginger, garlic, and sesame seeds make a big difference. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly. - If you don't have mirin, you can substitute sake or dry white wine. - If you don't have sesame seeds, you can substitute peanuts or chopped almonds. - Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki sesame chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give teriyaki sesame chicken a try. You won't be disappointed.
