Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast or chicken thigh For the chicken, you can use chicken breast or thigh for this recipe.
- 2 tbsp roasted peanut crushed
- cilantro or scallion for garnishing
Sauce
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- If you are using a rotisserie chicken, please skip to step 2 . If you are starting with raw chicken, marinate the chicken with a pinch of salt and sesame oil. Steam the chicken over high heat for 10 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
- Shred the chicken with your hands into small pieces. Put them in a bowl for use later.
- Chop the garlic, cilantro, and scallions into small pieces. Heat a pan with 2 tablespoons of oil and add the garlic. Sauté until the aroma of the garlic is released, then turn off the heat.While the garlic oil is still hot, add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of chili flakes. You can adjust the quantity depending on your desired level of spiciness. The residual heat will continue to infuse the fragrance of the sesame and chili flakes without burning them.
- Transfer the infused oil into a bowl. After it cools down, add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix well. If you are using a rotisserie chicken earlier, you can also add 1 tablespoon of rotisserie chicken juice for extra flavor.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken. Mix well and taste to see if it needs extra salt. Then add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, cilantro, scallions, and 2 tablespoons of crushed peanuts. Mix well.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and it is now ready to serve. Enjoy!
