Sesame Shrimp

by Pam on October 7, 2013

I wanted to make something quick and easy using ingredients I had on hand for dinner. I found a recipe at Taste of Home^[1] that sounded perfect. I adapted the recipe a little bit by adding less sesame oil and fresh garlic. I was going to marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes but time got away from me and they marinated closer to 60 minutes. Unfortunately, that made the shrimp a touch salty, so next time I will only marinade for 20-30 minutes. Thankfully, the rice mellowed out the salty flavor and made this sesame shrimp great. I loved how simple this recipe was to make – perfect for a busy weeknight meal!

Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and garlic together in a large zip lock bag. Seal and shake to mix the marinade well. Add shrimp to the marinade then toss to coat evenly. Seal and place into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and a few spoonfuls of the marinade then cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Serve on top of rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy.

Tiger Salad

by Pam on July 14, 2013

I found this recipe on Bon Appétit^[1] that looked simple and delicious. It was a snap to make and tasted great. I normally only do vinegar based dressing for cucumber salads but I have to say, I really liked the added flavors from the cilantro and sesame oil. I also liked the extra crunch the celery gave to the salad. We all enjoyed this tiger salad, especially my daughter, who had seconds and the leftovers the following day. This cucumber salad paired really well with the Asian Turkey Burgers with Avocado and Sriracha Lime Mayonnaise^[2] and the Asian Quinoa Salad^[3].

Whisk together in a bowl the vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, until well combined. Add the cilantro, celery, cucumbers, and green onions. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to combine. Place into the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy.

Sesame Noodles with Sautéed Shiitake Mushrooms and Kale

by Pam on April 15, 2014

I wanted to make a Noodle side dish to pair with the Asian chicken I was making for dinner. I kept sautéed some shiitake and mushrooms before tossing them with a soy sesame sauce and whole wheat pasta. They were simple, healthy, and delicious. They went well with the chicken and veggie I served them with. I ate the leftovers today and they were even more flavorful.

Prepare the spaghetti noodles per instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, chili sauce, 1 tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and water in a bowl. Taste and re-season if desired. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the last 1 1/2 teaspoons of vegetable oil then add the shiitake mushrooms and chopped kale. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Add the soy sauce mixture and the cooked and drained pasta. Mix the noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Place in a serving bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy.
