Recipe: Adam Liaw’s Sous Vide Chicken breast with spring onion oil
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tsp salt
- coriander sprigs, to serve
Dressing
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
Spring onion oil
- 2 tbsp grated ginger
- ½ tsp salt flakes
- 4 spring onions, white and light green part thinly sliced
- ¼ cup peanut or canola oil
Method
- To make the spring onion oil, combine the ginger, salt, and spring onions in a heatproof mortar and pestle. Lightly pound the mixture to break up the spring onion. Heat the oil in a small saucepan until smoking, and pour the oil into the mortar. Stir once, then allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- Vacuum seal chicken breasts and sous vide at 62C for 1 hour. Remove chicken from the bags and pour any liquid from the bag into a small bowl. Combine with the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well.
- Slice the chicken on the diagonal and return to the plate. Spoon over the dressing and top with spoonfuls of the spring onion oil. Scatter with coriander to serve.
