Super Easy Ginger & Sesame Oil Chicken • Chinese Chicken Stir Fry Recipe 麻油鸡 Chinese Cooking

This sesame oil chicken is a very easy recipe. So easy that anyone can whip out effortlessly. This dish is one of my favourite dishes--the smell of sesame oil and ginger is soooo divine. This is a popular dish for women on confinement because it is believed that the sesame oil and ginger plus the wine can help to expel 'cold’ and warm up the body. But no worries, you can eat this anytime even if you’re not on confinement. This super yummy dish is suitable for both men and women.

We would like to give special thanks to La Gourmet for letting us try out their high quality claypot in the video. If you like to buy them, you can go to any of the major department stores in Singapore such as Isetan, Robinsons, BHG, OG, Metro or Tangs.

Hey guys, came upon your channel and it's a treasure trove!!! Was always a bit scared to cook Asian dishes cus they always seemed so complex but your channel has really helped make cooking good Asian food easy!! Thanks so much :) keep doing what you're doing!! Side note: about this recipe, can I marinate my chicken for much longer? Eg marinate in the morning to cook for dinner? Thanks for your help!

[@spicenpans]

Hey Andrea. We’re very happy to have you with us on our humble channel. Yes absolutely. You can marinate the chicken even longer. This will make the chicken tastes even better 👍🏻👍🏻. Asian cuisine is really easy to prepare. The basic steps are largely the same. You’ll get the hang of it in no time. Happy cooking!

Hi, thank you for the recipe! May I omit or substitute the chicken powder? Thanks

[@spicenpans]

Hi Sharon. Yes you can. No problem. Most of the time we don’t add it too and it’s still yummy. Happy cooking!

[@seahlengho8008]

Hi! Is cooking rice wine same as shaoxing cooking wine?

[@chopsticksforlegs]

Jamie and Roland, you make cooking look easy. I don't particularly enjoy cooking, it's more a hassle but watching Roland cook is very enjoyable. I actually get sucked into the video thinking "Hey, I can make this" lol Jamie, try switching roles with Roland one day on cam. I reckon it'll be a blast for u and us hahhahaha

[@spicenpans]

Heheh. OMG. I think your idea is really good. But I need to lose weight first - can’t fit in the camera now 🤣🤣🤣

[@chopsticksforlegs]

Spice N' Pans No need for that Jamie. You're good as you are 😄

[@spicenpans]

Heeee.

[@sehhraah]

Is it possible to do this in an instant pot? If so which setting and how long?

[@PobbieRoops]

Can i use toasted sesame oil in this?

[@lilliewee4191]

Hi! Thanks to you as you hv made cooking sounds easy. I’m confident to give this dish a try. A question ..... May i forgo the brine and canned button mushroom altogether? Please advise. Thank you :)

[@spicenpans]

Yes absolutely. Happy cooking!

[@clementtan7309]

How long do we cook the chicken for?

[@ahshawng6830]

Thanks

[@spicenpans]

Thank you so much, Shawng 🙏🙏🙏

[@kpgoh9353]

Good morning, tks for sharing. Yummy!!! Can we add carrots?

[@spicenpans]

Good morning! Yes you can add carrots too. Happy cooking!

[@jeslinchng]

I don’t have any chicken stock powder or cubes. What can I replace it with?

[@ProfessorElectronic]

Other than wines, what other ingredient could I substitute with.

[@shirll.9567]

Hi Chef Roland, I don't have Chinese Rice Wine, can I omit that or replace with shaoxin wine? Please advise. thank you

[@zuraidahidah7196]

any other options to replace the wine

[@lenayow8060]

Hi, may I know can I replace the chicken stock powder with chicken cubes? How much to use? 1/4 cube? Kindly advise, thank you.

[@adminafamilyvlog4594]

My employer like your cooking chicken sesame oil

[@jennylaruta7384]

Can i omit the canned mushroom instead i used the fresh mushrom?

[@urbaniteurbanizer1612]

It's one of my favorite dishes at the Chinese chap fan. Thank you for teaching us how to recreate this at home. So beautifully and simply explained. Could you do a video on how to do the cooked beans like the ones at a Chinese mixed rice shop?

[@spicenpans]

Hihi. Thanks so much. We’re trying to figure out what’s the bean dish you are referring to. It’s help if you can describe to us more about the dish?

[@urbaniteurbanizer1612]

Spice N' Pans It's the baked beans dish...it's normally used for Western breakfast. But the Chinese have a special way of cooking it for chap fan. I sometimes see eggs in it, sometimes it's plain etc. I hope I'm making sense. It's a regular feature at chap fans, at least here in Malaysia.

[@thechuggs8997]

Can I ask if the sugar and cornflour important? I would like to omit them, do you think is ok?

[@josyflakes]

I don't like button mushrooms, possible to replace with shitake mushrooms?

[@siewtaojasmineyeo8863]

Hi! I’ve family that is allergy to oyster. What I could replaced oyster sauce with? Thanks!

[@d.k9059]

Hi, can the dish still be done without the Chinese wine

[@elielee2410]

If cannot take rice wine or any wine what can I replace with?

[@hohlilian]

Is the dark soy sauce u use the thick type like those u add onto claypot chicken rice?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Lilian. Yes. Cheers.

[@sitiak5945]

What chicken powder do you use?

[@viannepantallano1580]

Can i use rice wine?

[@hemjoo]

Just sharing: my MIL always told me not to add water to chicken cooked this way. Cover it when it’s in the wok And let the chicken juice be released from the heat. I’ve found this to be true that chicken is more flavorful. Of cos it’s drier.

[@spicenpans]

Yum! Thank you for sharing. I shall ask Roland to try next time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sharonwong2904]

this dish is yummy n also one of my frequent cook food - i did not add too much wine though - hv a good day

[@spicenpans]

Yum yum...any sesame oil chicken is yummy chicken 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TamaSifaga]

I'm trying this today, I'm marinating the Chicken at the moment

[@spicenpans]

Woohooz. Enjoy!!

[@springriver5651]

Can I marinate overnight?

[@christinanuam2339]

Nice

[@spicenpans]

Thank you so much, Christina :))

[@joreenyeo1449]

using white sesame oil or black sesame oil ?

[@KleinBibi]

Hi Roland, thank you for another amazing recipe :) I have a question for you! I found out that there are Shaoxing wine and also Shaohsing wine... Which one do you use for cooking? Would be nice to know, hope you can tell me :D Greetings from Germany

[@spicenpans]

Hi KleinBibi. They are both the same. Just spelt differently. Happy cooking!

[@KleinBibi]

@@spicenpans Ooooh, okay :D Thank you, I'm going to cook this dish for dinner later

[@teeqh378]

Tried! It’s yummy! But could do with lesser oyster/soy sauce. Tad bit salty

[@spicenpans]

Opps. 😘😘

[@vernisechoong5469]

Hi, is chinese rice wine the same as Shao Xing Wine? Can you let me know what brand do you use for the wine?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Vernise. They are different. Chinese rice wine looks like water. It’s clear whereas Chinese cooking wine or Shaoxing wine is brownish in colour. Like whiskey. Hmm can’t remember the brand of our wine cos we’re out stationed for work now but look at the ingredient content - go for those that have lesser salt. Hope this helps.

[@JE-western-rider]

@@spicenpans Since only a small amount of cooking wine is used and you say it looks like whiskey ...... why cant I use a shot of whiskey? And as the cook, I get to smell the heavenly aroma of the whiskey cooking down.

[@blessedone1631]

Thank you. I'm a fan of your videos Ah Pa. 2 questions : 1. No clay pot can use normal metal stainless pot? 2. No Shaoxing or rice wine .. can use Vinegar or Huatiao Jiu instead? Thank you

[@spicenpans]

Hi Blessed One. I’m not Cooking Ah Pa - is it ok? Let me answer your questions nonetheless. Qn 1 - yes you can. Qn 2. Huatiao Jiu is Shaoxing wine so you can use that. Please do not use vinegar as they are different. Hope this helps. Happy cooking!

[@snowimeis]

Can I use DOM Benedictine instead? If so, can mix with Hua tiao jiu? Do I add at end?

[@ethelrizarri2614]

I cannot take mushroom can i use carrots

[@desyang2567]

How many liter is the la gourmet claypot that u use?

[@spicenpans]

Hi Desy. It has a 3L capacity. Happy shopping!

[@andreiaes1233]

sorry, what kind of seasame oil did you use ( raw seasame seeds oil or roasted sesame seeds oil)?

[@lindakhoo8508]

Is 料酒the same as shaoxing wine and can I replace shaoxing with it?

[@spicenpans]

Yes. They should be the same, I think.
