Tools You’ll Need to Cook Honey Sesame Chicken Stir Fry To make this dish, you'll need some essential kitchen tools: 1. A sharp knife for chopping ingredients. 2.

Ingredients for Honey Sesame Chicken Stir Fry Here’s what you’ll need: 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts salt for the dry brine Honey Sesame Sauce: 1 cup water 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon ¼ cup honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce ½ tablespoon rice vinegar 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds Slurry: 2 teaspoons of arrowroot starch + 2 tablespoons of the sauce mixture ½ cup peas 2 cloves of garlic 1 shallot How to Cook Honey Sesame Chicken Stir Fry (Step by Step) Start by dry brining the chicken pieces with salt. Turn the chicken over and salt the other side. Dry brining enhances flavor and tenderness, making your chicken juicier. Let it sit for at least one hour or overnight in the fridge. Mix together the honey, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil and chicken bouillon to make the honey sesame sauce. Mix the slurry ingredients in a small bowl. Preheat your oven to roast the cashews at 350°F (175°C). Spread raw peanuts on a baking sheet; roast them until golden brown about 10-12 minutes; set them aside once baked. While they roast, prepare your veggies: measure out peas, slice some green onions, mince the garlic and the shallot. Next, slice the brined chicken into bite size pieces and then head over to the stove. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the hot pan in a single layer. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Searing adds flavor by creating crispy brown bits that enhance the dish. Flip the chicken and add the shallots on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until fully cooked. As the chicken cooks, it steams the vegetables and reduces the cooking time. Then, add the peas and stir fry the vegetable and the chicken together for 2-3 minutes. In the same pan, add garlic-shallot paste; sauté for 30 seconds. Add more oil as needed. Then mix it all around with the chicken and vegetables for a minute or so. Pour sauce over everything in the pan; mix thoroughly. Add the toasted sesame seeds. Stir in slurry to thicken sauce; cook for 1-2 more minutes. Serve it over a bead of rice and garnish with the roasted peanuts and green onions. And there you have it!
