Sesame Chicken With Napa Cabbage And Spinach Slaw On Baguette Recipes

CHICKEN AND NAPA CABBAGE STIR FRY

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into thin pieces, 1/8-inch thick and 2 to 3 inches long.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing over high heat until it begins to brown evenly. Add mushrooms and carrots and stir fry briefly, shaking the pan and tossing the chicken and mushrooms together.
• Add the cabbage and stir to combine well. Add the fish sauce and sesame oil. Cook the cabbage briefly before adding the chicken broth. Bring quickly to the boil and reduce for a moment before adding the honey, vinegar, salt and pepper. Toss for another 1 minute. Add the dissolved cornstarch and stir in to coat evenly. Remove from the head before the cabbage loses its crispness and color and serve.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH NAPA CABBAGE AND SPINACH SLAW ON BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Put flour and sesame seeds on separate sheets of wax paper and in a shallow bowl beat together egg white and water.
• Season chicken breasts with salt and dip them, 1 at a time, in flour, shaking off excess. Dip chicken in egg white, letting excess drip off, and coating with sesame seeds on 1 side, shaking off excess. Transfer chicken breasts as coated to a plate.
• In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 teaspoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook chicken, sesame-seed sides down, until golden, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and cook 4 minutes more, or until just cooked through. Add lemon juice to skillet. Turn chicken to coat with juice and cook until juice is almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and halve lengthwise.
• Make a horizontal cut through center of each baguette piece with a serrated knife, cutting almost but not all the way through, and spread open. In a bowl toss together cabbage, spinach, carrot, remaining teaspoon oil, and salt to taste.
• Make sandwiches with slaw, chicken, and bread, pressing together gently.
