HONEY LEMON GINGER GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a little olive oil and saute the chicken until cooked through.

• While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all other ingredients until well combined.
• Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and whisk sauce while cooking until thickened. (The sauce should thicken to the consistency of cold maple syrup.)
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine and coat with the sauce. Keeping the heat high, and the chicken in a single layer - at least as much as possible - stir the chicken, cooking on all sides. The sauce will stick to the chicken and caramelize. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from skillet to serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, and freshly sliced Thai chilies. (Optional) Serve immediately.

• Trim tough ends from asparagus. Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) oil in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and sauté approximately five minutes until tender crisp. Roll the spears in the pan to coat with oil and encourage even cooking on all sides. Set aside to cool. Slice on an angle into ½ inch (1.25 cm) pieces.
• Heat another teaspoon (5 mL) oil in pan asparagus was sautéed in. Add chicken strips and cook until lightly browned and cooked through (165°F (74°C)) - about 5 minutes per side. Pour over any remaining marinade during cooking. Boil and set aside to cool.
• Shred romaine lettuce and cabbage and add to large salad bowl. Top with the grated carrot and slivers of orange pepper.
• To make the dressing, measure sunflower oil, rice vinegar, water, ground ginger, garlic, ketchup, honey, lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, sesame oil, sesame seeds and tamari into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.

SESAME GINGER CHICKEN

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.
