Sesame oil chicken (麻油鸡) is a childhood dish which is the ultimate comfort food to me. This recipe is from my mum. Whenever I cook this dish, my house will be filled with the wonderful aroma of the simmering chicken, sesame oil and ginger which is so familiar and therapeutic. Best of all, this is a simple dish which is easy to prepare with minimal key ingredients – just chicken, sesame oil and ginger.

I could almost taste it through my screen!! This is a nice one!
Wow that looks really good, almost like store-bought. Drizzle that sauce on top of some rice and top it off with the chicken – perfect meal!
oh yes, the sauce to me is the good part … I waste not a drop of it for drizzling on my rice or even “drink” on its own :P
I seldom cook sesame oil dish at home, as it tends to make my kitchen oily. But I love sesame oil dishes, including this. Usually my mom will cook for me when I go over for lunch. :)
Noticed that you add so little of soy sauce. Was it salty enough?
yes definitely salty enough for me, and I tend to like salty food. maybe because the recipe did not use a lot of chicken and water :)
Hi Wiffy -this seriously looks amazing… such a simple dish to prepare too – I’d love to give it a go this week.
Hope you’ll enjoy it :)
Wiffy, I love this dish, my mil always cook for us, yum yum.
lucky of you to have someone cook this for you :)
mmmmm… so simple yet so good. everything good in food really boils down to the essentials and especially those with memories of childhood and family
I love anything with sesame oil. You know what I crave for now?…. Pork liver soup with ginger, sesame oil and chinese wine… don’t know why – seeing your dish reminds me of that!
same type of comfort food. now you reminded me of another “forgotten” childhood fave. Must make that soon too! ;)
Sesame chicken….what a nutrients-loaded and delish treat!
Love the aroma of sesame oil chicken. I can eat a big bowl of rice with this dish. :)
Canned mushrooms have that “tinny” flavor. I prefer shiitake or oyster mushrooms
also they are very slippery so I don’t like the texture hehe
