Published Apr 15, 2019 Updated Nov 06, 2024 Sesame oil chicken or 麻油鸡. I make it at least once every few weeks, with lots of ginger and sesame oil. It’s a homey dish that everyone enjoys. In Malaysia, sesame oil chicken or pork is often served to new mothers, during the confinement month after childbirth. Chinese people believe that ginger and sesame oil are hearty ingredients that help strengthen and nourish the body of new mothers and will speed up recovery after childbirth. This chicken is so delicious and takes only a few ingredients: ginger, sesame oil, chicken and soy sauce. Stew and braise the chicken, preferably in Chinese clay pot, and you will have the most amazing, aromatic, tender and utterly mouthwatering chicken for steamed rice. The best thing about it is that it takes only 20 minutes to make. Try it for dinner tonight, I will guarantee you that you will make it a dinner staple! Step 3: Cover the skillet or wok with the lid and turn the heat to low heat and let the chicken cook for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the meat becomes tender. Dish out and serve immediately. I hope you enjoy this post as much as I do. If you try my recipe, please leave a comment and consider giving it a 5-star rating.
