Another day, another chicken recipe. Yes, we're boring, but Gwen wants to have chicken and vegetables most nights in January so I'm hitting as many of the chicken recipes as I can.
Same technique as before, just with some different seasonings. This time I used sesame oil instead of olive oil, soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
Here's the problem - I have toasted sesame oil instead of dark sesame oil. I've had it in my pantry for a long time now and I used it for this recipe and I wish I hadn't. The toasted sesame oil overwhelmed all the other tastes for me, although Gwen did like it. I did some research afterwards and saw some mixed opinions on whether dark sesame oil and tosated oil are the same thing. One site says they are very different and that toasted oil is much stronger. Anyways, that explains why it was so overpowering.
Notes: Get some new sesame oil.
Modifications: Use previously mentioned sesame oil instead of the crap one I now have.
Make again? : Yes, with some less overpowering oil next time.

here is the salsa recipe that we really liked:
Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes
Fresh garlic
Fresh Jalapeno
Mince the garlic, saute the garlic and jalapeno in a pan with some olive oil. Then toss with the tomatoes in your blender and blend until desired texture. YUM!
ah! i almost forgot... lime juice from a real lime too.
That chicken looks good! Does it have any breading? It almost looks like it does.
No breading at all. I'm making nothing but healthy broiled chicken as my meat this week.
