  • Put the chicken breasts in a pot and add all the spices listed under "for the chicken." Pour in enough water to cover everything. Simmer the chicken over low heat for about half an hour, then remove the breasts and let them cool. Cut the breasts into small bite-size pieces for the salad. Peel and slice the cucumber, salt it, and toss; let it sit for ten minutes to draw out excess moisture. If you're using a large cucumber, scoop out all the seeds. Rinse the cucumber pieces and squeeze out the water. Toast the sesame seeds and crush them in a mortar. For the dressing, combine all of its ingredients thoroughly. Slice half an onion into half-rings. In a salad bowl, combine the chicken, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss with your hands. You can chill this Korean chicken salad before serving, though it's also delicious at room temperature. Why the special spices? They give the chicken a wonderfully original flavor you can't get any other way — the chicken ends up "not tasting like itself," and your guests may not even guess what it is. The salad pairs beautifully with vegetable sides, or stands alone as an appetizer to whet the appetite.
