Ingredients

Pulled Sesame Chicken

  • 3 pounds (1 and 1/2 kilograms) boneless, skinless chicken breast

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • about 3 cups water, to cover chicken

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed or 4 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger or 1 cube Dorot Gardens Frozen Ginger (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons mirin (or Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc or other white wine or apple juice)

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Sesame Oil

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1/4 cup cold water

  • 1/2 cup crispy fried onions, for garnish

  • sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1.

Place the chicken breast and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until fully cooked, about 25 minutes.

2.

Remove the chicken from the pot, reserving the liquid. When the chicken is cool enough to be handled, shred it.

3.

Keep two cups of liquid from the poached chicken and discard the rest. Add sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, mirin, and sesame oil to the liquid in the pot and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with cold water until dissolved and add to the boiling sauce. Cook until thickened, about three more minutes.

4.

Return the shredded chicken to the sauce. Serve with crispy fried onions and sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
