Sesame Chicken With Gingery Bok Choy
Quentin Bacon
How to Make It
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites, sesame seeds, ¼ cup cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Dip the chicken in batter and shake off excess.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken.
Step 3
Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining chicken.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and remaining teaspoon cornstarch.
Step 5
Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bok choy and cook, turning, until just starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 6
Add the soy sauce mixture and jalapeño and cook until liquid has thickened slightly and bok choy is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with the chicken.

I disagree with the previous comment. We LOVED this meal-both the chicken and the bok choy-and we have a 5 year-old and 3 year-old who both loved it too. I subscribe to the magazine, and couldn't find the issue so specifically came online to find this recipe to make again. We omitted the jalepeno for the kids though, and they ate everything. I would try making the chicken in a non-stick pan, which worked great (we also had a sesame sweet 'n sour dipping sauce on the side for the chicken which added even more flavor).

The chicken was terrible. The sesame "crust" didn't work at all. It stuck the pan and completely came off. It looked nothing like the photo! The bok choy was delicious though.

This is one of my favorite recipes in the WORLD--and it's definitely my husband's favorite. We had never tried bok choy before and now we eat it all the time. I would DEFINITELY recommend this recipe!!!
