Private Notes
Comments
The chicken and bok choy were tasty, but the frisee made the dish bitter. I will use only bok choy next time, and double the marinade to make more sauce for the greens.
This was delicious. I cooked the chicken on a grill pan on the stove. I upped the frisée by about double, and cooked the greens and mushrooms in a large skillet while I was finishing grilling the chicken. I added a quarter teaspoon of sesame oil to the marinade and about two tablespoons of water to the greens, covering the pan for the first couple of minutes before uncovering and boiling it almost dry. The addition of cumin and cinnamon gives the dish a sort of Mongolian/Taiwanese flavor.
