3/4 cup pure maple syrup, eyeball the amount

1/2 cup sweet hot mustard, eyeball the amount
1/2 cup sesame seeds, a mix of black and white or all white
1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3 or 4 turns of the pan, total
1 1/3 pounds chicken breast tenders
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger root, grated or minced
3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 generous splashes
1/4 cup Chinese duck sauce or, apricot all fruit spread
1/4 cup vegetable oil, eyeball the amount
5 to 6 ounces mixed baby greens, 1 bag
1 /4 English or seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise then thinly sliced on an angle
1 /2 cup shredded carrots, a couple of handfuls
4 scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
1/4 pound snow peas, sliced on an angle
Fried Chinese noodles for garnish, perhaps leftover from take out, optional

Steps:

  • Combine syrup, soy and sweet hot mustard in a bowl. Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides. Add chicken tenders to 1/2 of the marinade and coat. Set aside. Reserve the remaining 1/2 for dressing.
  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Spread sesame seeds on a sheet of waxed paper or into a shallow dish. Waxed paper will speed your clean up. Dip the tenders into the sesame seeds. Coat the pan with a thin layer of oil. Cook chicken in small batches 3 minutes on each side and remove to plate.
  • Whisk ginger, vinegar and the reserved marinade together then stream in the oil while you are continuing to whisk dressing.
  • Combine all of the salad ingredients in a bowl. Toss with dressing and serve, topping with sesame chicken tenders. Toss some crunch into your salad with fried noodles, if you have any leftover packets from ordering Chinese take out, for the last time!

SESAME-CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame-Chicken Salad image

Sesame seeds have a delicious nutty flavor. For an even coating, press them into the chicken so they stick. The seeds can spoil quickly, so refrigerate any unused ones. Thinly sliced beef, turkey, or pork may be substituted for the chicken in this warm salad.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 medium English cucumbers (1 pound total), cut into 3/4-inch wedges
1/3 cup white sesame seeds
4 to 6 chicken cutlets (about 3/4 pound total)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound baby bok choy, quartered lengthwise, or regular bok choy, roughly chopped
1 to 2 jalapenos (preferably red), thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, ginger, and sesame oil until sugar dissolves. In a medium bowl, toss cucumbers with 3 tablespoons dressing.
  • Spread sesame seeds on a large plate. Dredge chicken in seeds, pressing lightly to adhere. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and bok choy. Cook, turning occasionally, until bok choy is brown on all sides but still a little crunchy, about 8 minutes.
  • Transfer bok choy to a serving platter and reduce heat to medium. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to skillet and cook chicken until sesame seeds are toasted and chicken is cooked through, 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. On a work surface, shred chicken.

SESAME CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame Chicken Salad image

Flavorful and so delicious, this sesame chicken salad will wow you!

Provided by MommyBennett

Categories     BBQ & Grilling     Chicken     Salads

Time 8h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 medium head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
¼ medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, shredded
½ cup crispy fried rice noodles

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for marinade together in a small bowl; pour over chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger for dressing in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the grill and chop when cool enough to handle.
  • While the chicken is cooking, place sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium-high heat. Shake the pan like you are making popcorn and toast until seeds give off a lovely toasted smell, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool; if you leave them in the pan they will continue to cook and burn.
  • Place napa cabbage, green cabbage, and carrot in a large bowl with chicken and toasted sesame seeds. Toss together, then mix in the dressing. Divide salad onto plates and top with crispy fried noodles.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH LEMON-SESAME DRESSING



Chicken Salad With Lemon-Sesame Dressing image

This main-dish salad is inspired by chicken larb, which is a dance of contrasts: light but rich, with tender meat, crunchy vegetables and seasonings that span sour, sweet, spicy and savory. This recipe dresses lean-but-juicy ground chicken or turkey with sesame oil, fresh lemon, miso, ginger, basil and celery, but there are many ways to adapt it: You could sauté crumbled tofu or cubed salmon instead of the chicken; or add yuzu kosho, wasabi paste or fried garlic. It's good on its own, or with roasted potatoes, grains, salad greens, soba noodles or wrapped in nori.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup white or yellow miso
1 large lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tablespoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 1/2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced, leaves reserved
1 cup basil leaves, large ones torn in half
2 tablespoons black or white sesame seeds, or a combination (or furikake)

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-low. Add the chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until opaque and just cooked through, 3 to 6 minutes. (You're not looking to brown the meat here, which would risk drying it out.) Remove from heat to cool.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the miso, lemon zest and juice, ginger and 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil.
  • When the chicken is no longer hot (warm or cool both work), use a slotted spoon to add it to the bowl with the dressing, leaving any chicken juices behind. Stir to combine. Add the sliced celery, celery leaves, basil and sesame seeds; stir to combine. Taste, and if it needs more spice, add black pepper; if it's bland, add salt; if it's dry, add sesame oil. Eat warm or at room temperature. (Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

SESAME-MISO CHICKEN SALAD



Sesame-Miso Chicken Salad image

There's always room for another chicken salad recipe, especially if the assembly is quick. This one calls for a whole cooked chicken, which you can roast or boil gently several hours ahead or up to 2 days in advance. (Some may choose to buy a precooked rotisserie chicken, but it can sometimes be hard to find one that is seasoned or cooked properly. If you can find a good one, go for it.) The creamy miso dressing can also be used to dress a green salad, or to replace mayonnaise on a sandwich. It also makes a great dip for vegetables.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons Asian sesame paste or tahini
4 tablespoons white (shiro) miso
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin, sake or sherry
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Small pinch of cayenne (optional)
1 (3-pound) chicken, cooked
2 heads small organic iceberg, Little Gems or romaine hearts
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick, lightly salted
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions or chives
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
1 teaspoon toasted black sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put sesame paste, miso, vinegar, mirin, ginger, sugar and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Whisk in sesame and vegetable oils. Check seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper and cayenne, if using. You should have about 2/3 cup dressing. If it seems too thick, thin with a tablespoon or 2 of water.
  • Remove skin from chicken and pull all the meat from the carcass. With fingers or a knife, shred all the chicken meat into 1-inch strips and put in a medium mixing bowl. (Refrigerate or freeze any remaining skin, fat, bones and cartilage for making broth.) You should have about 4 cups shredded chicken.
  • Separate the lettuce leaves and arrange on a large platter, leaving space for the chicken at the center, then scatter with cucumber slices.
  • Gently toss the shredded chicken with salt and pepper. Pour all but a few tablespoons of dressing over the chicken and gently toss to coat. Transfer dressed chicken to center of platter and nap with remaining dressing. Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds on top and serve.
