Sesame BBQ Chicken Wonton Noodles

Let's prepare the BBQ chicken first.

You will need:
2 chicken breast
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp red wine or  Shion Shin Chinese wine
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 small nips finely chopped garlic
1/4 tsp Chinese five spice powder
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
a bit of red colouring

Marinate the chicken with all the above ingredients and refrigerate overnight. You can use the skin as well, however, I have discarded them. Roast in preheated oven 180C for about 20 to 25 minutes turning twice and coating with the sauce. Leftover sauce can be used when serving the noodles. Drizzle some of the sauce on the BBQ chicken.

 

For the noodle:
Serve 3 people.
3 bunch wonton noodles
1 cup of chopped spring onions
2 small garlic
2 1/2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
1 bunch of bak choy
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp chilli oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
salt to taste
1 tbsp sugar (optional)

Prepare the sauce first;
Pound the sesame seeds coarsely. Keep aside. Pound half of the chopped spring onions with garlic and salt. In a bowl, mix the sesame seeds, coarsely grounded spring onions with garlic, add in white vinegar, chilli oil, sesame oil, light soy sauce, salt and sugar. Keep aside.

(it was advised that black vinegar would be great, however, I feel black vinegar is rather too strong for my tastebud, prefer white vinegar anytime for a recipe)

Prepare the noodles:
Blanch in hot water the required amount of bak choy. Keep aside. In rapid boiling water, add in half of the entangled wonton noodles, stir and leave to cook around 2 to 3mins. Place in a colander the cooked wanton noodles and run through warm water for stopping it to cook further. Do the same with the rest of the wonton noodles.

Assemble:
Mix the wonton noodles in the prepared sauce. Throw in some chopped spring onions if you want more. Serve in 3 bowls. Place at the side the bak choy and thinly sliced BBq chicken. Serve with some green pickle.

Note:
This recipe idea was adapted from Marion Gasby's Sichuan Sesame Noodle. You can check out the original recipe on YouTube.  I have made changes for personal preference. There are many recipes for homemade chilli oil on Youtube. Feel free to browse and prepare it at home. I made about 1/2 cup of chilli oil only. I have lessened on the chilli used.
