Sesame Chicken & Greens
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce or honey
- 400 g chicken thighs cut into pieces
- 1/2 brown onion sliced
- 1 broccolini bunch, washed & chopped
- 2 bok choy small bunches, washed & chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 cm ginger finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/2 cup cashews roasted & roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, corn flour, and sweet chilli sauce or honey. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Set aside while you prep the veggies.
- Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat. This step is essential, stir-frying over high heat helps lock in flavour and gives the chicken and veg that signature sizzle and slight char.
- Add a splash of oil to the hot pan, then add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Fry in batches if needed, don’t overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sear. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and just cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add the onion and broccolini. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Add the bok choy, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes, letting the aromatics release their flavour without burning.
- Return the chicken to the pan, pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and the oyster sauce, and toss everything well to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped cashews and give everything a final toss. Dish up with fluffy rice.
