Crunchy golden sesame seeds meet tender chicken in this Japanese-inspired delight. We’ve paired it with a vibrant vegetable sauté and a side of ginger and garlic rice that smells like an absolute dream.

Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. 
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash 
of olive oil over medium heat. 
• Cook garlic and ginger paste until fragrant,  
1-2 minutes. 
• Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch 
of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and 
cover with a lid. 
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep 
covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 
10 minutes. 
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so  
don't peek!  

Get prepped
2

• Trim green beans and cut in half. 
• Roughly chop Asian greens. Set aside. 
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and rice 
wine vinegar. Set aside. 
• Place chicken breast between two sheets of baking 
paper. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until 
an even thickness, about 1cm-thick. 
Little cooks: Kids can take charge by combining the 
mayonnaise and rice wine vinegar! 

Crumb the chicken
3

• In a shallow bowl, combine sweet soy seasoning 
and the salt. 
• In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. 
• In a third shallow bowl, combine mixed sesame 
seeds and panko breadcrumbs. 
• Coat chicken first in the spice mixture, followed 
by the egg, and finally the sesame crumb mixture. 
Transfer to a plate. 
Little cooks: Kids can help crumb the chicken! Use one 
hand for the wet ingredients and the other for the dry 
ingredients so you don't end up with sticky fingers. 

Cook the chicken
4

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat 
the base over medium-high heat. 
• When oil is hot, cook chicken until golden and 
cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to 
a paper towel lined plate. Cover to keep warm. 
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the chicken doesn't stick 
to the pan! 
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer  
pink inside. 

Cook the veggies
5

• Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to  
medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. 
• Stir-fry green beans until softened, 5-6 minutes. 
• Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 
1-2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, then remove  
pan from heat.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide garlic-ginger rice between plates. 
• Top with veggie stir-fry and sesame-crusted chicken. 
• Serve with mayo dressing. Enjoy! 
Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by 
drizzling over the mayo dressing! 

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: The sesame-crusted chicken and garlic-ginger rice were highlights for many, though some found the overall dish quite bland.
  • Ease of prep: Most found it straightforward, though a few felt the multi-step crumbing process made it feel like more work than expected.
  • Suggestions: Some found the soy sauce made the vegetables too salty; reducing it and adding a splash of mirin may help balance the flavour. A few noted that coating the chicken in flour before the egg helps the sesame crumb stick better.
  • Portions: Chicken breast sizes varied noticeably across servings, so pounding to an even thickness as instructed is worth the extra effort.
