How to Make Sesame Soy Chicken with Grilled Greens

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 2 tablespoons salt-reduced soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 125 g skinless chicken thigh fillets, fat trimmed
• 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed

• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1. Combine the ginger, garlic, 1½ tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and set aside to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
2. Preheat a barbecue hotplate or chargrill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly spray the chicken, asparagus and broccolini with olive oil. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes each side. Cook asparagus and broccolini for 2 minutes each side, or until lightly charred and tender.
3. Cut the grilled asparagus and broccolini in half. Place in a large bowl with the tomatoes, spinach and the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce and the rice vinegar; toss to combine. Slice chicken.
4. Heat rice as per instructions. Serve the chicken with the salad and steamed brown rice.
