- Greetings from East Texas!
-
- Here are a few Sesame Chicken recipes that you might find useful. The only
- one that I have tried is the one that uses Plum Jelly or Hoison Sauce (the
- last one on the list.) It is very close to the recipe that my favorite
- Chinese restaurant in Shreveport, Louisiana uses.
-
- If you receive any additional recipes from other net users, please send a
- copy of them my way.

- Title: Sesame Chicken
- Keywords: chicken, sesame
- From: lah1l@krebs.acc.Virginia.EDU (Lawrence A. Hite)
-
- Stir Fry Ingredients
-
- 1-2 lbs. deboned chicken (white or dark meat)
- marinade (see below)
- 5 stalks celery, chopped
- 5 carrots, sliced
- 3/4 lb. broccoli, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 lb. snow peas, trimmed and halved
- 1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 large green pepper, cut in strips
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 tsp. ginger root, diced
- 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
- peanut oil for stir frying
-
- Marinade:
-
- 1/2 C. white wine
- 1/3 C. vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 C. soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp. ginger root, diced
- 3 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 2 tsp. chili oil
-
- Seasonings:
-
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 tsp. chili oil
-
- Wash the chicken and chop into approximately 1/2 inch cubes. Mix
- together marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl and add chicken
- pieces. If there is not enough marinade to cover all of the chicken,
- add more wine, soy sauce and vinegar. Place in refrigerator for at
- least one hour (but better if overnight).
-
- Warning! This marinade is acidic and will tend to remove the seasoning
- on your wok! If this is a concern of yours, then in the sections below
- use a large stainless steel pan or a wok which you haven't taken so
- much care to season.
-
- When ready to cook, heat 2-3 tbsp. peanut oil in wok until just barely
- smoking. Quickly add garlic and ginger and the vegetables (it is often
- easier to split the vegetables into 2 to 3 batches so that they cook
- evenly and quickly). Stir fry the vegetables stirring constantly until
- just cooked, but still crisp, then remove to a bowl.
-
- Drain marinade from chicken and reserve for later. Heat 2-3 Tbsp.
- peanut oil in wok, then add chicken and stir fry until cooked. Remove
- chicken with a slotted spoon, leaving juices in wok.
-
- Add marinade to juices in wok and boil rapidly to reduce volume
- slightly. After about 5 minutes (with constant stirring) taste broth
- and adjust using the ingredients listed above under ``Seasonings''.
- Note that honey can be added to lessen the sourness if there is too
- much vinegar for your taste (dissolve honey in 1/4 C. hot water before
- adding).
-
- You can serve this dish either hot or cold:
-
- To serve hot dissolve about 2 tbsp. corn starch in about 1/4 cup
- water and add to the broth in the wok and stir constantly under low
- heat until it starts to thicken. Return chicken and vegetables to
- wok and stir to coat with sauce. Serve over rice.
-
- To serve cold add a little more sesame oil, vegetable oil and
- vinegar. The idea is to get enough liquid to adequately marinate the
- partially cooked vegetables. As always taste the mixture as you go
- and adjust accordingly. Put it in a (non-metal) bowl and refrigerate
- overnight to allow the flavors to mix. If desired, strain broth away
- before serving. You can also add your favorite variety of cooked
- pasta.
