Time 1h4m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon chile flakes
1/2 cup peanut oil
Four 4-ounce chicken breasts
4 focaccia rolls, or other good-quality round crusty sandwich roll
4 slices provolone
Romaine lettuce
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
Aioli, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped basil
2 egg yolks*
Salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups safflower oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

Combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, chile flakes, and peanut oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place in a small roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into very thin slices.
Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
Slice the rolls horizontally and place on a baking sheet with the top half cut-side down and the bottom half with cut-side up. Place 1 slice of provolone on the bottom half of each roll. Cook until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
Place 1/4 of the chicken on top of the melted cheese. Top with romaine lettuce, tomato, and red onions. Spread some of the Aioli on the top half of the roll and place the roll on top of the sandwich.
In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, basil, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard and process to combine. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream until it is all added and the mixture is emulsified. Add the lemon juice and check the seasoning.

Categories side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons neutral oil
Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil, recipe follows
Toasted white and black sesame seeds, for garnish
Flaky salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup neutral oil
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

Heat a gas or charcoal grill over medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can heat a grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Arrange the bok choy on a sheet tray, or place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Place the bok choy onto the heated grill or grill pan, cut-side down and cook until wilted and grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for until tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the grill onto a platter. Drizzle with the Garlic, Ginger and Scallion Oil (recipe follows), a sprinkling of sesame seeds and flaky salt.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tablespoon of neutral oil and heat until shimmering. Add the ginger, scallions, garlic and salt and cook, stirring, to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame oil and the remaining 1 cup neutral oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally and taking care not to let the oil get too hot, until the oil is infused with flavors, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
