Our cookbook group has recently been trying out Ottolenghi's recipes from "SIMPLE" What a clever concept and way of appealing to everyone's unique sense of what makes a simple recipe!

This Ottolenghi Inspired Sesame Chicken with Ginger and Lime is my version of his Chicken with Miso Ginger and Lime, as I've made it simple for me!
