Spring dinner with an Oriental twist. Use either Teriyaki sauce, marinade or basting sauce.
Spicy Teriyaki Chicken Breasts Preparation and cooking time: 25 minutes2 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1 tbs Dijon-style or spicy brown mustard
3 tbs Teriyaki sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground ginger
Mix all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Spoon over the chicken and let marinate for 10 - 15 minutes. When ready, cook on barbecue grill for 10 - 12 minutes, turning once or under broiler for same amount of time or sauté in nonstick skillet for 12 - 15 minutes; in all cases cook until done. Remove chicken, slice nicely (if you want... or not) and serve.
Baked Teriyaki Potato Chips Preparation and cooking time: 35 minutes2 medium potatoes
1 - 2 tbs Teriyaki marinade or sauce substitute 1 1/2 tbs soy sauce combined with 1 tbs molasses
Slice potatoes in about 1/4 inch (.5cm) thick slices. (Or a little thinner.) Put potato slices and Teriyaki in a bowl and stir well to coat. Lay on a nonstick baking sheet (if you have one - just makes it easier). Put in a 400F (200C) oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn half way through if you like. Remove and serve.
Sesame Carrots Preparation and cooking time: 25 minutes2 - 3 medium carrots
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1 clove garlic
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) chicken stock
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Peel carrots and roll-cut: cut the end off of the carrot at an angle, roll carrot 1/4 turn and cut next piece about 3/4 inch away at an angle, roll 1/4 and cut next piece, etc. This gives you interesting looking pieces with lots of surface. Mince garlic. Heat sesame oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté briefly - 30 seconds, or so. Add carrots, ginger, soy sauce and chicken stock, cover and simmer over low heat until carrots are tender, 12 - 15 minutes. Remove cover, increase heat and cook off any remaining liquid. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
To toast sesame seeds: Put them into a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toss or stir them about in the pan until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
