Ginger Grilled Chicken And Radishes With Miso Scallion Dressing Food

GINGER-GRILLED CHICKEN AND RADISHES WITH MISO-SCALLION DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chicken on all sides with 2 1/2 tsp. salt and place in a large bowl. Add ginger beer, garlic, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. ginger to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk miso, 3/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. ginger in a small bowl. Mix in scallions. Let dressing sit at room temperature up to 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; brush grate lightly with oil. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Toss radishes with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
• Toss lettuce with about one-third of dressing in a large bowl. Drizzle another third of the dressing over grilled radishes. Serve remaining dressing alongside.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GINGER-SCALLION NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the carrots and snow peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain the noodles and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the saucepan and reserve. Snip the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears.
• Finely chop the scallions and ginger in a food processor. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Add to the noodle mixture, season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce.
• Slice the chicken and serve over the noodles.

SHEET-PAN MISO CHICKEN WITH RADISHES AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place one rack in the middle of the oven and another about 6 inches from the broiler.
• On a large baking sheet, drizzle the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon oil, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mash together the ghee and miso until combined. Lift up the skin on one chicken thigh, carefully creating a space between the skin and meat, and place about 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture inside. Close the pocket, then lightly press on top of the skin to spread it around. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs, adding 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture to each. Massage another 1 1/2 teaspoons mixture all over the chicken, leaving about 1 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture remaining in the bowl.
• Arrange the chicken skin-side up, evenly spaced apart, and roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• In the same mixing bowl, toss the radishes with the remaining miso-ghee mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the chicken has roasted for 15 minutes, scatter the radishes around the chicken and cook until radishes are tender and lightly browned and chicken is cooked through (the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh should reach 165 degrees), another 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the chicken skin is not as browned as you'd like, broil on the rack near the broiler until the skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime juice over chicken and radishes, then garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Divide among plates and serve.

MISO-GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS WITH A GINGER SCALLION DIPPING

Steps:

• For wings: Put the oven rack in the top third of the oven, and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the chicken wings, scallions, ginger, sesame oil and salt. Toss gently until the wings are coated evenly with the scallions and ginger. Spread the wings out, skin side up, in a single layer on a nonstick cookie sheet.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Then rotate the cookie sheet 180 degrees and bake for 15 minutes, or until the wings are starting to brown slightly and are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, until only slightly warm to the touch.
• Meanwhile, heat the canola oil in a deep saucepan set over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until you hear the oil start to crackle slightly and a deep-frying thermometer registers 350°F Do not let the oil smoke; that will mean the temperature is too high. Set a baking sheet lined with paper towels near the saucepan.
• Working with about 10 chicken wings at a time, carefully drop the wings into the oil and cook for about 6 minutes, until they are crispy and browned. While they are cooking, lightly stir the wings occasionally so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan or to one another. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon or strainer, and drop them onto the paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Let the oil reheat for 2 minutes before cooking the next batch of wings. Repeat the process until all of the chicken wings are cooked.
• If you have the miso glaze in advance, reheat it in a small saucepan for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is warmed through.
• Transfer the miso glaze to a medium bowl, add the fried chicken wings, and toss thoroughly until the wings are well coated. Serve with ginger scallion dipping sauce.
• For Korean miso barbecue sauce: Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to color. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, being careful not to let it brown. Add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, harissa, rice wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt and 2 cups water. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the ingredients do not sink to the bottom of the pot and burn. The liquid will reduce significantly.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the sweet soy sauce, dark soy sauce and Korean miso. Simmer for 5 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly for 10 minutes.
• Puree the mixture in a blender until completely smooth. (You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your blender. To avoid burns when blending hot liquids, do not fill your blender more than halfway to the top, and always start by pulsing before turning the blender on high.).
• Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• For ginger scallion dipping sauce: Heat the oil in a small sauté pan set over low heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and set us aside for 5 minutes to cool.
• Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey and scallions to the cooled mixture, and whisk to combine. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

GINGER-SCALLION CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the scallions in quarters lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. You should end up with thin blades of scallions. Separate out the dark green tops from the pale green and white parts. (You don't have to be very thorough; some mixing of colors is fine.)
• Heat oil in a wok or 12-inch skillet over very high heat. When it's shimmering but not smoking, stir in chicken and salt. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until chicken is barely cooked and no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken onto a serving plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Immediately scatter cilantro and scallion greens (not whites) over hot chicken.
• Return wok to medium-high heat. Make sure there are at least 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. If not, add more oil. Stir in ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in scallion whites, soy sauce and sugar, and cook for another 30 seconds (if using a skillet, remove from heat). Immediately spoon the contents of the pan evenly over chicken and herbs. Serve right away.

• This can also be broiled in the oven, turning only once halfway through the cooking time.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry on kitchen paper.
