SESAME CHICKEN WITH CASHEWS AND DATES



Sesame Chicken With Cashews and Dates image

Dates add a touch of sweetness to this savory chicken and scallion stir-fry. If you don't have a wok or a 12-inch skillet, you might want to cook this in two batches in a smaller pan. That will ensure a nice, browned crust on the meat. And if you want to substitute chicken breasts, stir-fry them for only 2 minutes in Step 2 before adding the rice wine.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons toasted (Asian) sesame oil
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into about 12 "coins"
6 to 8 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), cut into 2-inch lengths
3 to 4 dried red chiles, or 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs (preferably skin on, but skinless is O.K.), cut into 2-inch chunks
1/2 cup toasted cashews
1/3 cup rice wine or dry sherry
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce or tamari
4 pitted dates, thinly sliced
3 cups fresh basil or cilantro leaves, or a combination
Rice vinegar or lime juice, to taste
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper while you heat a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat until it's very hot, at least 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil and swirl the pan; the oil should thin on contact. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, scallions and chile. Stir-fry until the garlic is golden at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the 2 remaining tablespoon oil, chicken and cashews, and stir fry until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes (turn down the heat if the cashews are browning too quickly). Add the rice wine, soy sauce and dates; simmer until the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency and the chicken cooks through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the herbs, sprinkle with rice vinegar or lime juice, and serve over rice.
