smokeless teppanyaki table | teppanyaki orange chicken
Orange chicken - light, quick and easy
•1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• pat dry and cut into small pieces (about 1 inch)
• (chicken breast can be substituted if desired)
2 TBSP. Fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• a bunch of chopped shallots (scallions);
The white and green parts are separated
Sprinkle with sesame or sesame oil (optional)
•1 TBSP cooking oil (ghee -- our favorite, or such as grape seeds, avocado, tea seeds, low erucic rapeseed)
Orange sauce (double recipe for sauce)
2 TBSP. Shred or mince fresh orange peel
• cup fresh orange juice
• 3 TBSP. Soy sauce (Tamari is our favorite)
• 2 TSP. 3 tablespoons minced garlic. honey
2 TBSP. Rice vinegar (son: white or cider)
• 1 TSP. Shredded red pepper flakes
(we mash our own chilies with dried chilies; More aromatic than most store-bought flakes, in just a moment)
• 1 TBSP. Corn starch is dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
In a pot on the teppanyaki stove, stir all the sauce except the cornstarch and bring to a boil. Adjust the "heat" by using more or less red pepper flakes. Add the water-cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Put it aside.
Meanwhile, preheat the teppanyaki cooking table to 5. On arrival (orange light off) set to # 8 or # 9 (depending on model). If the teppanyaki equipment temperature is set too high, the meat will soon dry out.
Spread the oil or ghee (clarified butter) evenly with the flat side of the spatula. You can also spray the chicken with a cooking spray and quickly stir fry. Turn the chicken nuggets brown (3-5 minutes on each side; Do not stir or flip between; Trust us, it will come loose when ready to spin.
If the meat doesn't completely brown, give it more space and work in two batches. When almost cooked, distribute the meat throughout the outer heated area. Lower the professional teppanyaki table temperature to # 6.
Now add a little cooking oil to the cooking center; Add ginger, garlic and onion white. Stir for about a minute and then sweat (not brown). Turn off smokeless teppanyaki table!
Add the chicken and soy sauce. Mix chicken and seasonings to coat; Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped shallots.
Suggested side: serve with prepared rice, quinoa or rice noodles, or as a salad wrapped or stuffed crepe.
Tip: this recipe also works well with pork, Turkey, seafood blends or all vegetarians. Try adding curry to garlic and ginger.
