Sesame Braised Chicken Cabbage Food

SESAME BRAISED CHICKEN & CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare ingredients as listed above.
• 2. Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel wok or large skillet. Healthy Sauté onion in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Add garlic and ginger and continue to sauté for another minute.
• 3. Add chicken pieces and cook for a couple of minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, and mix with chicken. Add kale. Sauté for another couple of minutes, stirring constantly.
• 4. Add ½ cup broth and bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat covered for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 5. Add cabbage, diced tomatoes, and vinegar and simmer for another 4 minutes. Remove from heat, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• 6. Serve sprinkled with minced scallion tops and sesame seeds.
• 7. Healthy Cooking Tip: Make sure the cabbage does not cook more than about 4 minutes. If it cooks beyond that it will start releasing liquid and dilute the flavor of your dish. By slicing it thin, it allows it to cook in a short amount of time, creating a fresh tasting dish with a lot of flavor.

CHICKEN AND CABBAGE SALAD WITH MISO-SESAME VINAIGRETTE

• Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved herbs, ginger and onion, drizzle with a little more dressing, and serve immediately.

SAUTEED SESAME CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a saucepan or fry pan, put the oil, half the sesame seeds, the soy sauce and the red pepper flake on a medium high heat. Heat the oil to a light sizzle and until the sesame seeds turn golden brown.
• Put the cabbage in the pan and turn it in the heat until it wilts, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining sesame on top of the cabbage, toss to coat and serve.

• Cook cabbage, turning once, so that it is browned on both sides, abut 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce heat in skillet to medium low, add remaining tablespoon oil; add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot, and garlic, cooking and stirring 1 minute.
• Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeno, tomato, and broth; season with salt (you can add more jalapeno to taste).
• Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil; return cabbage, cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise until tender, about 10 minutes (turn once halfway through braising).
• Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves, and bay leaf.
