Course Main Course
Cuisine Asian, Chinese

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 2- inch knob ginger, peeled and finely minced
  • kosher salt
  • 2 tsp sesame oil, plus more to taste
  • 1 10- oz bag shredded carrots, or about 4 carrots, shredded
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, thighs and drumsticks
  • white rice, cooked, for serving

Instructions
 

  • To make the Ginger Green Onion Oil (GGOO), heat the oil in a small saucepan or sauté pan. Place the onions and ginger in a heatproof glass or metal bowl. Test the oil temperature by tossing in one green onion slice. If it sizzles, you’re ready. Carefully pour the oil over the green onions and ginger. It should sizzle, then fizzle out. Season heavily with salt.
  • To make the carrots, heat the sesame oil in a saute pan over high heat. Toss in the carrots and cook very lightly, for 2-3 minutes to barely soften. Season to taste with salt and additional sesame oil if desired.
  • To serve, heat your chicken and place over hot white rice. Top with the GGOO and a generous heap of Sesame Carrots on the side.
