Are you looking for a tasty and easy chicken recipe to add to your weeknight dinner rotation? Look no further! This ginger and sesame oil chicken is a flavorful and simple dish that is sure to become a family favorite.

This delicious chicken recipe is not only enjoyable to eat but also offers a wide range of health benefits beyond its nutritional value. In Asian cuisine, ginger and sesame oil are the superfoods that provide the best benefits. Their anti-inflammatory effects and healing powers have been used historically as remedies. The combination of both ingredients is known for boosting energy and regaining strength, especially for new mothers who are recovering after childbirth in China.

The mouth-dazzling chicken dish begins when the fragrant sesame oil unites with the zesty ginger and creates a perfect flavor combination. Sesame oil is used not only as a cooking oil but also as a powerful flavor booster. Its strong nutty taste adds a touch of umami to this chicken recipe.

  • Ginger: Cut the ginger into paper-thin slices or thin strips so they are not too spicy to eat.
  • Sesame oil: The quality of the sesame oil can vary greatly. I use Leekumkee sesame oil.
  • Chicken: Use the chicken thighs in this recipe as they are juicy, tender, and less likely to be overcooked.

  • 500 g boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite sizes)
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon rice wine
  • 2 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Preparing the sauce: Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice wine, sugar and water in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Cooking: Add two tablespoons of sesame oil and ginger to the non-stick fry pan over medium heat, and cook until the ginger slices are slightly golden. Mix in chicken and sauce, put the lid on, and cook for 10 minutes (or until the chicken is completely cooked through).
  • Finishing off: Remove the lid and stir to reduce the sauce to about two-three tablespoons. Stir in one tablespoon of rice wine, and turn off the heat. Mix in one tablespoon of sesame oil and serve.

  • Ginger: Cut the ginger into paper-thin slices or thin strips so they are not too spicy to eat.
