Sweet And Spicy Sesame Sauce Food

CRISPY SESAME CHICKEN WITH A STICKY ASIAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot.
• Whilst the oil is heating, place the egg in one shallow bowl and the cornflour in another shallow bowl. Add the flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt and paprika to another shallow bowl and mix together.
• Dredge the chicken in the cornflour, then dip in the egg (make sure all of the chicken is covered in egg wash), and finally dredge it in the seasoned flour. Add to the wok and cook on a high heat for 6-7 minutes, turning two or three times during cooking, until well browned. You may need to cook in two batches (I find I can do it in one batch so long as it's no more than 3 chicken breasts). Remove from the pan and place in a bowl lined with kitchen towels.
• Add all of the sauce ingredients to the hot wok, stir and bubble on a high heat until the sauce reduces by about a third (should take 2-3 minutes). Add the chicken back in and toss in the sauce to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and divide between four bowls. Serve with boiled rice and top with sesame seeds and spring onions.

SWEET-AND-SPICY ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE WITH SESAME-SCALLION FLATBREAD AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Stir together the chili sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, the minced chile, 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Pour into a small serving bowl and top with the sliced chile. Set aside to let the flavors blend.
• Meanwhile, make the flatbread: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Cook, stirring, until toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve the skillet. Add the scallions and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the bowl and set aside. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with the scallion mixture and salt and fold in half like a book. Press the halves together with your fingers and then roll the dough out again until it is 1/8-inch thick. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Stretch and roll each piece until very thin, pinching the edges together to keep the filling from spilling out. When the dough is thin enough, you should be able to see the filling through the dough. The pieces should be 7 to 8 inches in diameter, although they need not be perfectly round.
• Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in the same skillet. When very hot, add a piece of the dough and cook, turning once, until it is puffed and cooked through and has some charred spots, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, adding more canola oil as needed to just lightly coat the bottom of the skillet and reducing the heat if the dough starts to burn before it cooks through. Cut the flatbreads into pieces and serve with the dip and cooked shrimp.

20 MINUTE SWEET AND SPICY NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente, approximately 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prep your veggies / garnishes. In a small bowl mix soy sauce, hoisin, honey, chili garlic paste, and red pepper flakes.
• A couple of minutes before the noodles are done, in a large saute pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds. Be sure it doesn't burn! Add sauce and stir.
• When noodles are done, drain and add immediately to pan with sauce and stir until the noodles are well coated.

SWEET & SPICY SESAME CHICKEN MEATBALL BOWLS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sesame seeds, red chili paste, ginger, garlic, brown sugar and arrowroot (or corn) starch.
• In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, green onion, cilantro, garlic, ginger, cayenne, salt and pepper. Use clean hands to mix and form into 16 golf ball sized meatballs.
• Place a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and add in sesame oil. Add the meatballs and brown on all sides and cook until done and the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F. This should take about 10-12 minutes total. You may need to do this in batches, depending on how many meatballs you can fit in your skillet without overcrowding them. When the meatballs are done cooking, transfer them to a plate and set aside. Keep the heat in the pan.
• Wipe the skillet clean and add in 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Next add in broccoli florets, and cook, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes or until broccoli is slightly tender but still has a bite. The broccoli should get somewhat charred and slightly golden and crispy in places. Yum!
• Add chicken meatballs back to the pan with the broccoli and pour the sauce over, simmer on low until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-5 minutes.
• Serve over rice of choice (we love my coconut rice!) and top with scallions, cilantro and chopped peanuts if desired.
