Sesame Snaps Recipes

SESAME SNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla. Remove from heat, and stir in oats, sesame seeds and baking powder until well blended. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or golden brown. Cool in the pan over a wire rack. Cut into bars.

SESAME SNAPS

Steps:

• 1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add sesame seeds and toasted until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, honey and sea salt. Stir constantly until sugar dissolved, about 3 minutes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the color turns amber. Add toasted sesame seeds and quickly stir until well blended.
• 3. Rapidly remove from the heat and dump on a silicone mat. Using a greased angled spatula, spread mixture and place another silicone mat on top. Roll down to a thin layer (thinner it is, crunchier it gets). Gently peel off the silicone mat and score with a greased knife into 2-inch square (might have to re-score a few times as it gets harder). Make 16 squares

SESAME SNAP PEA-CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the chicken and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. (Monitor that the bubbles never get too big; lower heat if so.) Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sugar snap peas: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it begins to boil, set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Drop sugar snap peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sugar snap peas to the ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry on a clean dish towel in a single layer.
• Transfer sugar snap peas to a cutting board and trim the tips, if needed, then slice lengthwise into thirds on a slight diagonal. Transfer to a large bowl or lidded container, and refrigerate.
• Prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the sesame seeds, leaving some whole. In a small bowl, combine ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
• Set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Transfer the chicken to the ice water to cool completely. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pat dry, then finely shred the meat using your fingers. The shreds should be similar in size to the cut sugar snap peas.
• Add the shredded chicken and all of the dressing to the chilled snap peas; toss gently until coated. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
