Steamed Chicken Salad with Sesame Sauce

This steamed chicken salad with sesame sauce is a refreshing yet deeply satisfying dish that balances lean protein with crisp, vibrant vegetables. Inspired by classic Asian flavours, the chicken is gently cooked to retain its succulence, then shredded and tossed with roughly crushed cucumbers. This traditional technique of bruising the cucumber allows the aromatic dressing to cling to every crevice, ensuring a punchy, savoury bite in every mouthful.

As a high-protein option, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a nutritious lunch or a light evening meal that doesn't compromise on taste. The rich sesame sauce, spiked with ginger, garlic, and a hint of chilli, provides a velvety finish that elevates the simple ingredients. Serve it as a standalone salad or alongside steamed jasmine rice for a more substantial meal.

Ingredients for Steamed Chicken Salad with Sesame Sauce

  • 3-4 spring onions

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 small cucumbers

  • 275g boneless chicken thighs with skin

  • 1 tablespoon sake

  • 1 cucharadita de aceite de sésamo

  • small piece crushed ginger

  • 60ml liquid made up from the juices of the cooked chicken (and water if necessary)

  • 60ml sesame paste

  • 2 cucharadas de salsa de soja

  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar

  • 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons chilli paste or to-ban-jan

  • 2 tablespoons roughly ground sesame seeds

  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded spring onions

  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger

  • 2 cucharaditas de ajo finamente picado

  1. Finely chop the spring onion diagonally, reserving the green part for use during cooking the chicken. Soak in cold water for a few minutes to remove the bitterness of the onion, then drain and put aside to use later.

  2. On a chopping board, sprinkle the cucumbers with a few pinches of salt, rubbing it into the flesh, then rinse. This lessens the aroma of the cucumber and gives it a good green colour. Hit the cucumbers with a pestle (if you don't have a pestle, use a bottle) and break it apart with your hands, to make uneven pieces.

  3. Pierce the chicken pieces with a skewer and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and oil and then place the green part of the spring onion and the crushed ginger on top. Cover and microwave on medium for 4 minutes, or until cooked. Leave to cool. Keep the juice from the chicken to use in the sesame sauce.

  4. Shred the chicken with your hands and place in a serving dish. Mix in the cucumber and put the chopped spring onion on top.

  5. Mix all the ingredients for the sesame sauce in a small bowl and pour over the chicken and cucumber.
