Honey Sesame Tuiles Recipes

SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse the sugar and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a food processor until finely ground.
• Transfer the ground sesame mixture to a medium saucepan and add the butter, orange zest and juice, cornstarch and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the flour, vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Refrigerate until cooled and thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter, 4 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle the tops with more sesame seeds. Bake, 1 baking sheet at a time, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet until just set enough to lift with a spatula, 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack. While the cookies are still warm, curl up 2 sides of each cookie with your fingers, then let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter (reline the baking sheets between batches).

HONEY SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix honey, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil together in a medium bowl.
• Combine cold water, cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; mix well. Add to honey sauce mixture and mix well. Set aside until needed.
• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder over chicken.
• Whisk egg in a large bowl. Add remaining salt and garlic powder and mix well. Mix in flour. Combine water and cornstarch in a bowl; add to egg mixture and mix well. Add avocado oil and baking powder; mix well.
• Pour 3 inches of peanut oil into the bottom of a wide, deep pot and heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place 1/2 of the chicken pieces into the batter mixture and turn to coat. Scoop tablespoonfuls of chicken and batter into the hot oil. Do not crowd the chicken. Fry in batches until chicken pieces are golden brown and no longer pink in the centers, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Check oil temperature between batches.
• Pour honey sauce mixture into a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Add all chicken pieces to the sauce; turn to coat. Sprinkle on sesame seeds.

CRISPY SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• In a food processor, finely grind the sesame seeds. In a medium bowl, whisk the ground sesame seeds with the sugar and flour. In a small bowl, whisk the butter with the sesame paste until smooth. Stir the orange and lemon juices into the flour mixture, then stir in the sesame butter until the batter is smooth. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Using an offset spatula, lightly spread the batter into 3 inch rounds of even thickness. Sprinkle a pinch of black sesame seeds on each tuile.
• Bake the tuiles for about 10 minutes, until evenly golden. Remove from the oven and let the tuiles stand until firm, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the ruiles to a rack to cool completely.

HONEY SESAME CRISPS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper, and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, honey, and orange juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.

• Using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, drop batter onto prepared baking sheets about 4 inches apart. Bake until cookies are crisp and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. To form ice-cream cones, shape warm cookies around a cone-shaped dowel, and place upright in a tall glass to cool. For flat cookies, transfer from baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
