Sesame Chicken

 http://www.opensourcefood.com/public/images/cached/567x/recipe_images/8e09b9aa83f30619f31cfcc0b13eb56e.jpg

Ingredients:

3 whole boneless chicken breasts

Marinade:

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cooking wine or dry sherry
a few drops of sesame oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch (corn flour)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Sauce for Sesame Chicken:

1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 cup vinegar (Guide notes: I find that a little low. It all depends on how sweet you want the sauce; for a sweeter sauce use less vinegar)
1/4 cup cornstarch (corn flour)
1 cup sugar
2 TB dark soy sauce
2 TB sesame oil
1 tsp chili paste, or more if desired
1 clove garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

3 1/2 - 4 cups peanut oil for deep-frying


Directions:

Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.

To prepare the sauce: mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.

To deep-fry the chicken: add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken.

Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.

Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.

Tom Yum Goong

Tom Yum is a Thai hot and sour soup very similar to a spicy Sinigang.




Ingredients:
  • 2 lemongrass stalks, cut into 1″ pieces and smashed a bit (about 1/3 cup)
  • 6 lime leaves (about 1 tablespoon), torn with center vein removed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh turmeric (luyang dilaw), sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon coriander roots, about 2 roots
  • 1 tablespoon shallots, whole with skin removed (1 to 2 shallots)
  • 1 cup tomato (medium tomato), sliced into 6-8 pieces lengthwise
  • 2 cups broth (pork, chicken)
  • 1/2 cup straw mushrooms, ends removed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons red medium-sized chilies, smashed
  • 4 or 5 medium-sized saltwater shrimp, whole and uncleaned, make sure they’re fresh
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce (patis)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons roasted chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (add more if you like)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh cow’s milk (optional)
  • 3 small dried chilies, roasted (optional – use only if adding milk)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander, chopped.
Procedure:
1)  Prepare all the ingredients. Remove the outer layer of the lemongrass stalks and cut off the end. Cut into 1-2? pieces and smash with the side of a heavy knife to release flavor. Tear the center vein off the lime leaves. Slice your fresh turmeric into thin slices. Cut the tomato into 6 pieces lengthwise. Peel the skin off the shallots and smash lightly. Clean your coriander roots well. Smash the fresh chilies with the back of a heavy knife, or in a mortar and pestle. If using fresh Thai straw mushrooms, slice the bottoms off and cut in 1/2 lengthwise. If making the version with milk: roast the dried chilies until fragrant and browned in a dry wok on medium heat.
2)  Wash the shrimp then set aside. Boil the broth on high until it comes to a rapid boil.  Add the lime leaves, lemongrass, coriander root, turmeric, shallots and tomato. Boil for 4-5 minutes. if you’re using fresh ingredients, 4-5 minutes should be enough. In a separate pan, boil the mushrooms in plain water.
3)  After you’ve boiled 4-5 minutes, add a pinch of salt and the shrimp. Strain the cooked mushrooms and add them to the soup as well. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about a minute.
4)  Add the fish sauce and remove from heat. You will now season the soup.
5)  Add lime juice, chili paste, smashed fresh chilies.
6)  If making the version with milk: Add the milk and dried chilies. If doing this step you’ll need to add a bit more lime juice and fish sauce as the milk tames it down a bit. Add about a teaspoon more of each.
7)  Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve.

TRIPLE G Baby Back Ribs

 Three G?? Garlic, Ginger, and Grilled...

Ingredients



For the ribs and spice paste

4 racks true baby back ribs (each ¾ to 1 lb.) or 2 racks American baby back ribs (each 2 to 2½ lbs.)
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 piece (2 in.) fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 tbs. sugar
1 tbs. coarse salt (kosher or sea)
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 tbs. honey
1 tbs. soy sauce
1 tbs. Asian fish sauce or additional soy sauce

For the dipping sauce
4 tsp. coarse salt (kosher or sea)
4 tsp. white pepper
4 juicy limes, cut in half

Directions


1. Prepare ribs and spice paste: If necessary, remove thin, papery membrane from back of each rack of ribs (some stores sell baby backs with membrane removed). If using larger racks of ribs, cut each rack in half. Place ribs in nonreactive baking dish just large enough to hold them in single layer.

2. Place garlic, ginger, sugar, 1 tbs. salt, and black pepper in mortar and pound to paste with pestle. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, purée ingredients in food processor. Work in honey, soy sauce, and fish sauce or additional soy sauce. Spread spice paste over ribs on both sides. Let ribs marinate in refrigerator, covered, 1 to 4 hours.

3. Prepare ingredients for dipping sauce: Place 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. white pepper in neat mounds side by side in each of 4 tiny bowls. Place 2 lime halves next to each bowl.

4. Preheat grill to medium. When ready to cook, brush grill grate clean and apply thin coat of oil to grate. Place ribs, bone side down, on hot grate and grill until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes per side, a little longer for full-size ribs. If flare-ups occur, move ribs to another section of grill. When ribs are done, meat will have shrunk back from the ends of the bones by about 1/4 inch.

5. Transfer racks of ribs to cutting board and cut into individual ribs, then arrange on platter or plates for serving. Just before eating, instruct guests to squeeze 1 to 2 tbs. lime juice into bowl of salt and white pepper and stir until mixed.

Dip ribs in sauce before eating.

Baked Asian Wings

Picture of Roasted Asian Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joints, wing tips reserved for another use
  • 1 tablespoon Emeril's Asian Essence
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup canned pineapple juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons minced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons diagonally sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with 1-inch sides with aluminum foil.
In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with the Essence, salt and pepper, tossing to coat well. Spread the seasoned wings in the prepared roasting pan evenly and bake until browned, about 35 minutes.
While the wings are baking, in a large skillet, combine the remaining ingredients set over medium-high heat, except the sesame seeds and green onions. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has reduced to a syrup, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use.
Remove the wings from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Place the wings in a large, heat-proof bowl. Drizzle half the prepared sauce over the wings, reserving the other half, tossing to coat well. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the wings and toss again. Place a wire cooling rack inside a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and arrange the coated wings on top of the rack. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
Arrange the wings on a large serving platter and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce passed on the side for dipping.
