Teriyaki Chicken With Soba Recipes

Steps:

• Add the chicken thighs to a large resealable freezer bag.
• In a medium bowl or large mason jar, combine the soy, sugar, honey, rice wine vinegar, vegetable oil, Asian chili sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, hot chili oil, pepper, scallion whites and garlic. Whisk or shake until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• Add a third of the marinade to the bag with the chicken and toss to completely cover. Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Refrigerate the remaining marinade in a jar, covered, until ready to cook.
• Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse until cool, then set aside in a bowl.
• Heat a grill pan or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. (Discard any used marinade left in the freezer bag.) Cook the chicken, turning, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to a cutting board and slice into strips.
• Add the reserved jarred marinade to a medium pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Pour half of the marinade over the noodles in the bowl and toss until completely coated and warmed through. Add the sliced peppers and toss.
• Pile the noodles onto a platter, arrange the sliced chicken on top and garnish with the reserved scallion greens, cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve the remaining hot marinade in a pitcher on the side.
• To make ahead: This makes a great kit meal. Put the chicken in a large resealable freezer bag. Make the marinade and pour one-third over the chicken, seal the bag and coat. Save the remaining marinade in a mason jar and seal. Put the cooled rinsed noodles in a resealable freezer bag. Put the sliced peppers in a resealable freezer bag. Put the sesame seeds and scallions in tiny disposable containers with lids. Put the cilantro in a small resealable freezer bag. Put everything on a sheet pan and store in the fridge. When you are ready to cook, follow the instructions above.

Steps:

• Place a pot of water on the stove for the soba and bring to a boil.
• For the sauce: Place the stock, tamari, mirin, sherry, sugar, Worcestershire, ginger and garlic in small pot. Bring to a rolling boil and reduce by half, 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a low boil or rolling simmer.
• For the chicken: Add the oil to a skillet and heat over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with lightly with salt and more aggressively with pepper. Cook 8 to 9 minutes, turning occasionally, then remove from the heat. Raise the heat again to high. Add the peppers and stir for a few minutes, but keep them tender-crisp. Add the scallions and garlic and toss 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• Cook the soba according to package instructions, a couple of minutes, to al dente. Drain.
• Place a quarter of the soba noodles in shallow bowls or on plates. Top with a few peppers and scallions. Slice 1 chicken breast per portion and fan on top of the soba. Pour the sauce evenly over the dishes and serve.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cornstarch, cold water, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and ground black pepper. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and bubbles.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Brush chicken with the sauce. Turn pieces over, and brush again.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn pieces over, and bake for another 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Brush with sauce every 10 minutes during cooking.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and fry for 7 mins, or until golden. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 2 mins. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, vinegar and 100ml water. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 - 5 mins over a medium heat until the chicken is sticky and coated in a thick sauce.
• Scatter over the spring onions and sesame seeds, then serve the chicken with the rice and steamed veg.
