Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce, divided
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1" knob of fresh ginger (1 tbsp or .25 oz)
  • 5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • cup water
  • 3 squares Golden Curry Sauce Mix
  • 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Cut chicken into 1” cubes.
  • Place chicken in a bowl and add the egg white and 2 tbsp soy sauce.  Mix thoroughly, massaging the ingredients with your hands.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1” cubes. Mince ginger.
  • Pour oil into a heavy skillet or wok and heat over high heat.  Add ginger and saute until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and brown it.  Add 1 tbsp soy sauce into the pan, followed by the cubed potatoes.
  • Now add 1½ cups of water or enough to cover the ingredients. Drop curry squares into the water.  
  • Reduce heat to medium, cover pan with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Remove cover and allow the broth to thicken. 
  • Add green onions.  Serve with rice, if desired.
  • Hack:  Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze in serving-sized portions for up to 3 months.
  • Hack:  Chop leftover green onions and freeze them in a sealable freezer bag or container for future use. While they won’t retain the crispness that would make them suitable for salads or garnish, they will be fine for cooking.  
  • Hack:  Do you know that you can freeze fresh ginger root?  Grating it in its frozen state is easier than grating it fresh and, if you choose organic ginger, you don’t have to peel it!  Simply place in a sealed freezer bag or container and pop it in the freezer.

Homemade Sesame Chicken

 

8 oz skinless boneless chicken breast

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 egg plus one egg white, divided

4 tbsp cornstarch, divided

Pinch white pepper

Pinch salt

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

4 tbsp vegetable oil, divided, plus more for frying

½ cup of water

2 green onions

1” knob ginger, sliced (optional)

 

Cooking sauce:

2 tbsp soy sauce

Pinch salt

2 tbsp Chinese (black) vinegar

2 tbsp ketchup

2 tbsp sesame seeds

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp cooking wine

Pinch of white pepper

 

Cut chicken breast into 2” cubes.

Place chicken in a bowl with soy sauce, 1 egg white, 1 tbsp cornstarch, pepper and salt.  Massage with hand until well blended.

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, 3 tbsp cornstarch, baking soda, 1 whole egg, 2 tbsp vegetable oil and one pinch of salt.  Stir in water, a little bit at a time stirring until the mixture has no lumps and is a consistency that will coat chicken cubes.

In a small bowl, mix all cooking sauce ingredients.  Cut green onion into thin slices and set aside.

Heat 2” of oil in a heavy sauce to a temperature of 350℉.

Mix chicken cubes in the batter.  Put coated cubes in a pan one at a time, stirring occasionally to make sure they don’t stick together.  Fry until it becomes a pale yellow color, about 3 minutes, and remove from pan.  Fry in several batches if necessary to avoid crowding.

Allow the oil to heat to 380℉.  Put all chicken back in oil and fry until they become a golden brown, 1-2 minutes.  Remove from the pan.

In a saute pan or wok, heat 2 tbsp oil and ginger over high heat.

Put in chicken cubes followed by cooking sauce and green onions.  Stir fry for 30 seconds and remove from the pan.

Garnish with more green onions, if desired and serve immediately.
