1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  hot pepper flakes
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  white pepper
Dressing:
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  Asian sesame paste or tahini
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  sesame oil
1 tbsp  (15 mL)  soy sauce
2 tsp  (10 mL)  rice vinegar or cider vinegar

2 cloves  garlic, pressed or minced
1 tsp  (5 mL)  granulated sugar
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  salt

Suggested Salad:
4 stalks celery
4 cups  (1 L)  shredded napa cabbage or Chinese lettuce
1 bunch radishes, sliced
Half English cucumber, sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced

Preparation

Marinade: In bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, oil and hot and white peppers. Add chicken and roll to coat; marinate for at least 30 minutes or, refrigerated, for up to 1 day.

Dressing: With fork, whisk together sesame paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper; whisk in enough cold water (1/4 to 1/3 cup/60 to 75 mL) to make smooth and pourable.

Grill chicken over medium-high heat, turning once, until no longer pink in centre of thickest part, about 12 minutes; remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes, then slice.

Suggested Salad: Meanwhile, in pot of boiling salted water, blanch celery until tender-crisp, 20 to 30 seconds; drain, chill under cold water and drain. Slice into bite-size pieces. Arrange cabbage on 4 plates; top with celery, radishes and cucumber. Top each plate with chicken; spoon dressing over top and sprinkle with onions.

Makes 4 servings.
