2
potato
1 sachet
mixed sesame seeds
(Contains: Sesame; )
2 clove
garlic
1 packet
chicken thigh
1
pear
1 bunch
spring onion
1 bag
salad leaves
1 packet
garlic aioli
(Contains: Eggs, Soy; )
1 packet
Japanese Dressing
(Contains: Sesame, Soy, Gluten(Wheat); May be present: Eggs, Fish. )
1
olive oil
4 tsp
honey
2.5 tbs
soy sauce
(Contains: Soy, Gluten; )
½ tbs
rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into fries. Place the fries and mixed sesame seeds on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer and bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the fries are baking, finely chop the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, honey and rice wine vinegar. Add the chicken thigh and toss to coat. Set aside.
Thinly slice the pear and spring onion.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Using tongs, pick up the chicken and let the excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the remaining marinade and simmer until reduced slightly.
TIP: The marinade will darken and caramelise, this adds to the flavour!
In a second medium bowl, combine the mixed salad leaves, pear and 1/2 the spring onion. Add the Japanese dressing and toss to coat.
Slice the honey-soy glazed chicken. Divide the chicken, sesame fries and Japanese-style pear salad between plates. Spoon over any excess glaze and garnish with the remaining spring onion. Serve with the garlic aioli.
