Korean Barbecue Chicken

I got this recipe from a korean friend while I was working at HGS (Human Genome Sciences) in Maryland. Once a month we would have cuisine from a different part of the world and it was a great way to taste new dishes and exchange recipes.

INGREDIENTS:

sesame seeds 3 tbsp heaped. Roast these seeds on a dry skillet till brown as seen in picture on right. Mash them roughly in a mortar. Keep half aside.

ginger 1" thinly sliced
soy sauce 1/2 cup
shallots 1sliced thinly into circles
scallion 1 bunch thinly sliced

chicken 2 lbs thinly sliced against the grain as seen in picture
20 8" bamboo skewers
Mix all the ingredients with chicken and marinate for 2 hrs at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator. Skewer the chicken. Broil on high for 5 min and then turn and broil for another 5 mins. This can also be microwaved on a plate, covered with wax paper for 5 mins on high heat. Barbecue on the grill in summer.

Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds on chicken and serve with wild rice (cooked per directions on packet) and fruit salad.
