This meal starts with a flavor bomb of a sauce—hot, zingy, and full of umami depth—that we pair with chicken thighs, udon noodles, and broccoli. This sauce has the funkiness of miso, the warmth of sesame oil, and the zing of ginger, folded in with the nuttiness of tahini and the fruity numbing heat of Szechuan peppercorns. You will want this sauce again and again. Just put the chicken into a bag with this sauce and sous vide it. This is a fully flavored weeknight meal, satisfying without requiring much work from you.
