Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6
Categories : Chinese Poultry
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Chicken thighs
12 medium Asparagus spears
3 tablespoons Peanut or corn oil
-----MARINADE-----
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Thin soy sauce
1 pinch Sugar
-----SAUCE-----
2 teaspoons Fermented black beans
3 Cloves garlic -- minced
1/2 teaspoon Brown sugar
2 teaspoons Black soy sauce
3/4 cup Chicken stock
Cornstarch paste
Marinating: With sharp paring knife, scrape chicken meat from thigh;
slice into thin strips across the grain. (Breast meat is not preferred for
this dish, as meat is too dry and spongy.) Combine sherry, soy, cornstarch
and sugar in bowl; massage liquid into meat with your fingers. Marinate
for 15 to 30 minutes.
Preparation: Wash asparagus; peel tough white outer skin off ends; slice
on diagonal in 2 1/2" sections. Rinse fermented black beans. In bowl,
combine and mash black beans and garlic, brown sugar, black soy sauce and
chicken stock; stir; reserve for 15 minutes.
Stir Frying: Add 2/3 of oil to hot wok; when oil is very hot, add
chicken.
Stir-fry for about 3 minutes on high heat - or until chicken begins to
shrink and firm up. Remove chicken to holding bowl.
Reheat wok to high, add remaining oil. When oil is hot, add black bean
sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add asparagus; mix with sauce. Stir sauce
with asparagus. When sauce boils, add cooked chicken; toss to combine.
Dribble in a little cornstarch paste if needed; cornstarch in chicken
marinade might be enough. Toss ingredients until very little liquid
remains and is reduced to glaze. Dish is ready when asparagus brightens.
If you still have too much liquid, remove ingredients, continue to reduce
sauce, then return ingredients to coat them with sauce. Serve in
individual portions.

CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH PEANUTS IN SPICY SAUCE (KUNG PAO)
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6
Categories : Chinese Chicken
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup Raw peanuts
3 cups Peanut oil
2 Whole chicken breasts at -- room temp.
1 large Egg white
1 1/2 tablespoons Water chestnut flour
SAUCE:
4 Green onions
2 large Cloves garlic
1 tablespoon Minced ginger root
1/2 cup Chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon Sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon Chinese red vingear
1/2 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons (level) chili paste with -- garlic
1 tablespoon Dry sherry
1 pinch Sugar
Cornstarch paste
Preparation: Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white
part into 1" sections. Mix all other sauce ingredients in 2-quart
saucepan.
Reserve.
Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones. Slice meat into
1" strips, then crosswise to make 1" chunks. In bowl large enough to hold
chicken, add egg white to water chestnut flour. Beat mixture with a
single chopstick (not an egg beater or whisk). Stir chicken pieces into
egg mixture to coat thoroughly. Marinate 5 minutes. Note: water chestnut
flour gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be
substituted.
Deep-frying: Heat cooking oil in wok or deep-fryer to medium heat (you'll
need more oil for deep-fryer). Fry peanuts until they are a light tan
color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat. Remove peanuts
with strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or paper bag.
Reserve.
Turn up heat slightly for chicken. Test a chunk first: chicken should
raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 minutes. Deep-fry coated
chicken chunks until golden brown. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a
time. Use long chopsticks or spatula to keep pieces separate while they
are frying. Remove with long chopsticks or slotted spoon. Reserve.
Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer. Add green onions
& peanuts about a minute before serving. At the last minute, add chicken
pieces to sauce, mix quickly & serve.

The sauce that my Chinese friend showed me to make contained these
ingredients. You can play with the ingredients to get the taste and
consistency you want. Use more soysauce than vinegar. You can also put
in a bit of sesame oil if you like. Ming told me she never makes it the

1/2 cup Raw peanuts
3 cups Peanut oil
2 Whole chicken breasts at -- room temp.
1 large Egg white
1 1/2 tablespoons Water chestnut flour
SAUCE:
4 Green onions
2 large Cloves garlic

Preparation: Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white
part into 1" sections. Mix all other sauce ingredients in 2-quart
saucepan.
Reserve.
Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones. Slice meat into
1" strips, then crosswise to make 1" chunks. In bowl large enough to hold
chicken, add egg white to water chestnut flour. Beat mixture with a single
chopstick (not an egg beater or whisk). Stir chicken pieces into egg
mixture to coat thoroughly. Marinate 5 minutes. Note: water chestnut flour
gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be
substituted.
Deep-frying: Heat cooking oil in wok or deep-fryer to medium heat
(you'll need more oil for deep-fryer). Fry peanuts until they are a light
tan color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat. Remove peanuts
with strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or paper bag.
Reserve.
Turn up heat slightly for chicken. Test a chunk first: chicken should
raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 minutes. Deep-fry coated
chicken chunks until golden brown. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a
time. Use long chopsticks or spatula to keep pieces separate while they
are frying. Remove with long chopsticks or slotted spoon. Reserve.
Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer. Add green onions
& peanuts about a minute before serving. At the last minute, add chicken
pieces to sauce, mix quickly & serve.

ADVANCE PREPARATION: Dip each chicken breast in water and then gently
flatten with a meat pounder or rolling pin until the breast increases in
size by about one-third. Set aside.
Toast the almonds in a 325 F oven until light golden, then set aside.
Mince the chives and set aside. Combine the garlic and ginger and set
aside. In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients and mix well.
LAST-MINUTE COOKING: Combine the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold
water. Preheat the oven to warm.
Place a small noncorrosive skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add 1
tablespoon cooking oil and then garlic and ginger. Saute briefly, then
add the sauce. Bring to a low boil and reduce the heat to simmer.
Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with a little salt and pepper.
Dust with flour, shaking off any excess. Place a 12-inch skillet over
high heat. When hot, add the butter and remaining 3 tablespoons of oil.
When the butter bubbles, pan-fry 3 or 4 chicken pieces at a time. Cook
for about 1 minute on each side. The chicken is done when the meat turns
color and feels firm to the touch (do not overcook). Transfer the chicken
to a heated platter or dinner plates and keep warm in the oven while you
cook the remaining chicken.
Bring the sauce back to a low boil and stir in a little of the cornstarch
mixture to lightly thicken it. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle
the almonds and chives on top. Serve at once.

1 pound Shrimp -- cleaned and peeled
3 tablespoons Oil -- divided
1 large Onion -- finely chopped
2 Celery stalks -- finely

serve, reheat in a wok or large pot. Stir in snow peas and cook two
minutes. Make a well in the center of the wok and stir in the beaten eggs.
Stir them as they cook, about 3 minutes, so they scramble and mix with the
other ingredients. Cover and cook over medium heat another couple of
minutes.
Serve at once.
Serves 12 as part of a family style Chinese dinner, or 4 as a main dish.
Vicki's notes:
* When Cathe originally gave me this recipe in the mid 70's it called
for just 3/4 cup shrimp (1/2 pound), 1/2 cup each diced onion and celery,
1/2 cup boiled ham (1/4 lb), 1/2 cup peas (cooked just tender), 3 eggs and
sprouts. Also, just 1 clove garlic, which was heated with the ginger
(discarded when brown) before cooking the chicken.
* I like to add 1/2 c red bell pepper (diced) for color.

COOK UP AN ORIENTAL HOT POT

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Raw shrimp -- peeled and
2 Chicken breasts, skinned -- boned, and sliced ve
across grain
1/2 pound Beef sirloin sliced very -- thin, across grain
1/2 Head Chinese cabbage or 1 -- lettuce heart, coars
1 cup Cubed egg plant or 1 5-ounce -- can (2/3 cup) water
Drained and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups Halved fresh mushrooms
4 cups Small spinach leaves (stems -- removed)
14 ounces Cans (5 1/4 cups) chicken -- broth
3 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon Monosodium glutamate
1/2 tablespoon Grated gingerroot or 1/2 -- teaspoon ground ging
Midnight supper, perhaps for New Year's Eve or after the show, can be
exotic in a hurry. The foods are sliced ahead, the sauces made, then all
stowed in the refrigerator. When guests are hungry, the hostess simply
heats the broth and sets out the makings.
Genghis Khan hot pot is another name for this Chinese specialty. Or maybe
you've seen it on restaurant menus as volcano soup. We show an
honest-to-goodness Mongolian cooker with a charcoal chimney in the center,
but any chafing dish or electric skillet will do as well.
What's cooking. Everything on the tray is raw, of course--chunks of
eggplant, crosscut strips of sirloin, halved mushrooms, thin slices of
chicken breast, squares of Chinese cabbage, shucked shrimp. Fresh spinach
to simmer along with the other foods is ready in the big red bowl. The
broth is chicken bouillon that boasts a faint overtone of ginger.
Individual bowls of fluffy rice are served at the same time as Hot Pot.
The how-to. You pick out a few choice tidbits at a time and drop them
from chopsticks, bamboo tongs, or fork into the lazily bubbling broth. In
a few minutes, fish them out to dip into zesty sauces on your plate, like
Peanut or Red Sauce, Chinese Mustard or Ginger Soy.
Traditionalists poach eggs in the broth when it has taken on subtle
flavor from the foods that have simmered in it. At the very last, the
hostess may ladle the broth as a soup. It's delicious! Dessert? Skip it,
or serve a fruit bowl and candied ginger with coffee or tea.
Etiquette: Use one set of chopsticks for cooking and fishing out morsels
from Hot Pot, use a second set for eating. If only one set is provided for
each guest, simply reverse your chopsticks (large ends down) when you cook
or help yourself to food.
Oriental Hot Pot
Chinese Mustard Ginger Soy Peanut Sauce Red Sauce Hot cooked rice
Shortly before cooking time arrange the meats and vegetables on large
tray or platter; use a bowl for spinach. Set out dunking sauces. Provide
Bamboo tongs, chopsticks or long-handled forks as cooking tools for
guests.
Heat chicken broth in electric skillet or chafing dish (or use Mongolian
cooker-- directions follow). Add bouillon cubes to hot broth and stir to
dissolve; add monosodium glutamate and ginger. Heat to simmering. For
cooking have broth barely bubbling. Each Guest picks up desired foods with
chopsticks or whatever, drops them into the bubbling broth. When his
tidbits are cooked, he lifts them out and dips into the sauces on his
plate. Serve with rice. Makes 4 servings.
To use Mongolian cooker, fill chimney of cooker with charcoal and add
charcoal starter. Pour cold chicken broth into cooker. Cover cooker, then
light charcoal. When broth is hot, continue as above.

1 tablespoon Curry
1 tablespoon Sugar

2 Green onions stalks -- cut into 1 inch leng
PREPARATION: Cut off chicken wing tips and save for stock. Cut wings at
joint. Peel and cut potatoes into chunks and slice onion into small
wedges. COOKING: In a heavy bottomed 3 quart sauce pot, heat 2 tbsp. oil
and brown ginger, garlic and chicken wings for 4 minutes. Add rest of
ingredients except green onions.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 1/2 hour on low heat.
Add the green onions the last 5 minutes. DO AHEAD NOTES: Cook early in the
day. Chicken and potatoes taste better after several hours in the sauce.
It's great the next day. COMMENTS: Some people are quite surprised that
the Chinese use potatoes in their cooking. It is quite a common vegetable
in southern China, although not served the same way as the westerners do.
Curry is the most popular seasoning for potatoes. Another is 5 spice
powder.

slotted spoon.
Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns. Remove it
and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil,
leaving about 2 teaspoons. Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add
the dried chiles. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the
chicken to the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4
minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.

Chicken
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Chicken--breasts -- skinned a
10 1/2 tablespoons Lite soy sauce
3/4 cup Chicken broth -- -condensed
10 1/2 teaspoons Cornstarch
4 tablespoons Oil -- lite
1 1/2 cups Snow peas -- -fresh or defros
2 cups Mushrooms -- sliced fresh
1 cup Celery -- -sliced 1/4" wide o
1 Med Onion -- -cut into 6-8 wedg
1/2 cup Green pepper -- strips
1/2 cup Walnuts -- (broken) or peanu
DIRECTIONS This recipe is for 4 but can be cut in half for 2. I usually
make the whole thing up so I can enjoy it the next day for lunch or as a
side dish when completely mixed into the rice. I holds well in the fridge
if covered tightly. Cut chicken into strips.
Toss with 1 TBS soy and set aside. Mix together remaining soy, chicken
broth and cornstarch. Set aside. Heat 1 1/2 TBS oil in wok or large fry
pan and quickly stir fry the drained chicken strips until browned. Be
sure wok is hot.Remove from wok and keep warm. Add remaining oil to wok
and stir fry all veggies over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the broth
mix, bring to a boil--stirring constantly.
Return chicken to the wok, add the nuts and heat about one minute. Serve
immediately over white rice. Please try the sticky rice, folks. Once you d
you will probably never go back to the minute again. The oil can be cut
back if you desire without affecting the final results. BTW, is anyone out
there reading the posts of those who are taking their time? How about
joining in for some variety. I know would like some new ones such as from
Kathleen and Rita and Frank and Bev etc., etc., etc.. GUY FROM: GUY

1/2 cup roasted peanuts -- chopped
4 tablespoons onions -- finely chop
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sugar

Thai food is usually very hot so you might want to tune this
down by using less chili pepper. Heat the peanut oil, saute the onion for
one minute and add
the pork, salt , sugar and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring
frequently, for 10-15 minutes and add the peanuts. Spoon a layer of the
mixture on top of each pineapple slice.
Garnish with chili and mint leaves or chopped coriander leaves. The
pineapple slices can be cut into smaller cubes and the coated pieces then
served as an hors d'oeuvre. "Joys and Subtleties-South East Asian

-----MARINADE-----
1 each Egg White
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
This recipe is a combination of the best parts of many other General Tso's
Chicken recipes I have seen. I use this recipe on a regular basis.
I have used de-boned chicken thighs with good success. Have made it using
orange or lemon peel and liked it with either. Have used small Vidalia
onion in place of scallions also.
Be careful when using the water chestnut flour, it doesn't brown as much
as regular flour, so don't overcook. The sauce will make the dish darker.
I tried using a deep fryer for cooking the chicken without success. The
chicken kept sticking to the fryer basket. Have found that using a wok and
cooking about 5 pieces of chicken at a time works better for me.
Cut the chicken into pieces no larger than 1" square. Prepare marinade by
combining egg white, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a large
bowl. Add chicken pieces and set aside for two hours. In a deep pot, heat
the oil until it reaches 350 degrees.
Dredge marinated chicken pieces in water chestnut powder to coat. In a
basket, or with a slotted spoon, lower several marinated chicken pieces
into the fat. Fry about one or two minutes or until the chicken becomes
crisp; test for doneness before completing the batch.
Continue until all pieces have been fried. Set oil and cooked chicken
pieces aside. In a wok, on high heat, reheat two tablespoons of the
reserved oil. Add prepared ginger, scallions, garlic, chili peppers, and
orange or lemon peel. Stir to prevent burning. Add the fried chicken and
stir quickly.Add sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cornstarch mixed with
chicken stock. Remove from the heat and stir sesame oil into the sauce.
Spoon the mixture on to a hot platter and serve immediately with steamed

uncovered until bottoms are deeply golden, about 2 minutes, checking
occasionally. Add 1/2 cup water to each pan and cover immediately. Let
steam until skins are translucent, about 3
minutes. Remove cover and continue cooking over medium to medium-high
heat until bottoms are very crisp and well browned. Drain off excess oil
if necessary. Loosen dumplings with spatula and transfer to serving dish.

SAVORY CHICKEN AND RICE IN A LOTUS LEAF (CHINA)
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8
Categories : Chinese Chicken
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 large Dried lotus leaves
1 cup Long-grain rice
3/4 cup Sweet glutinous rice (see -- Note)
2 cups Chicken stock
3 Chinese sausages lop -- cheong) *
8 Chinese dried black -- mushrooms **
2 tablespoons Small dried shrimp ***
1 Whole chicken breast -- boned
skinned
2 tablespoons Soy sauce -- plus more for
1 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon White pepper
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
-----CHICKEN MARINADE-----
1/2 teaspoon Grated ginger
2 teaspoons Soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dry vermouth or Shao Hsing -- wine
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon White pepper
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
* cut diagonally into 1-inch slices ** soaked in warm water until soft and
pliable (about 30 minutes) *** soaked in warm water for 30 minutes
Foods wrapped in dried lotus leaves become infused with an exotic earthy
flavor. If lotus leaves are not available, you can wrap the rice filling
in oiled parchment. Besides being an unusual appetizer, this dish can be
served as a snack, for lunch, or as a light meal.
Note that the first step must be done the night before. Because lotus
leaves vary so much in size, eight packets may require anywhere from four
to ten leaves. (Larger leaves can be split in half, smaller leaves may
need to be overlapped.)
1. The night before, pour boiling water over the lotus leaves and let
them soak for 1 hour. Rinse and squeeze them dry. Mix the long- grain
and glutinous rice together in a large bowl. Wash the rice under running
cold water; gently stir and rub the grains between your fingers to loosen
all the excess starch. Continue until the water runs clear. Drain
thoroughly. Mix the rice with the chicken stock in a 2-quart saucepan;
soak overnight in the refrigerator.
2. The next day, set the saucepan of rice uncovered over high heat;
bring to a boil. Stir just enough to loosen the rice grains. Reduce the
heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is absorbed, about 8 to 10
minutes. Put the sausages on top of the rice and cover the pan. Reduce
the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat but do not
remove the cover. Let the rice stand for 10 minutes, then, with a wet
wooden spoon, transfer it to a large bowl; set aside.
3. Squeeze the mushrooms dry. Cut off the stems at the base and discard
them; cut the caps in half. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium
bowl. Cut the chicken breast into 3/4-inch chunks and toss it with the
marinade. Add the mushrooms and marinate for 20 minutes. Drain and
coarsely chop the shrimp.
4. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and
sesame oil; mix into the cooked rice. Add the chicken-mushroom mixture
and the shrimp.
5. Fold a lotus leaf in half and put it on a cutting board. If the
middle stem or edges are tough and hard, trim and discard them. (If the
leaves are small, you may need to over- lap halves.) Divide the rice
mixture into 8 portions; place one portion in the center of a leaf half.
Fold the edges over the rice to make a 4-inch square packet. Tie it with
twine. Repeat with the remaining leaves and rice. Arrange the packets in
a single layer in a bamboo steaming basket.
6. Prepare a wok for steaming. Steam the packets over medium-high heat
for 20 minutes. Remove them from the steamer and cut each packet across
the top to expose its contents. Serve with small dishes of soy sauce for
dipping.
NOTE: Sweet glutinous rice is also known as "sticky rice" because when
it is cooked it becomes sticky. It is used to make poultry stuffing and
leaf-wrapped rice packages; it is called sweet rice because it is often
used to make sweet dishes. Soak it overnight before cooking for the best
results.
Makes 8 packets.

2 tablespoons Dry sherry
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 Slices ginger root/minced
1 teaspoon Sesame oil

chestnuts in thin circles. Cut green onions on bias into 1" sections.
There are 2 varieties of "Cantonese-style" Chinese semi-dried sausage
available in Chinese markets: duck liver & sweet pork meat. Either will do
for this dish. Cut sausage on bias into 1/8" thick slices. Marinade is not
used with sausage.
Steaming: Mix sliced mushrooms & water chestnuts with chicken. If
desired, add sausage. Steam for 20 minutes. If using deep bowl, stir
chicken after 10 minutes to make certain bottom pieces get cooked. Just
before serving, add green onions. Serve immediately, since cornstarch will
become gummy if dish is allowed to cool.
HINT: If using metal steamer, stretch dish towel under steamer cover, to
prevent build-up of condensed steam in dish.

STEAMED SPARERIBS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE (DOW SEE JING PIE
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 2
Categories : Chinese Pork
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Spareribs
1 Clove garlic -- minced fine
2 tablespoons Salted black beans
1 tablespoon Fresh ginger -- minced
1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 tablespoon Sherry
Here's a couple of simple, good recipes that use black bean sauce.
Just in case you don't know, these black beans are the Chinese fermented
black beans. They're extremely salty++and should be rinsed before use++
and have a very nice, savory taste that blends well with many foods. Very
common in Chinese markets and I've seen bottles of ready prepared black
bean sauce in supermarkets in the Oriental food sections. Just substitute
the deep fried tofu cubes for the meat in these recipes. One of these
recipes is for pork spareribs and one for prawns. They'll give you an idea
of how the beans are combined with the other ingredients to come up with
the sauce.
Yield: 4 servings
Preparation: Have butcher cut spareribs into 1-inch pieces. Trim off
fat. Place spareribs in a heat proof dish. Wash and rinse black beans 2
or 3 times, then mash them with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch and
sherry. Mix with spareribs.
Cooking: Place heat proof dish on steaming rack in wok. Add water to
bottom of wok. Cover. Steam for 30 minutes.
Do-ahead notes: Do through preparation.
Comments: Spareribs can be left in the steamer for 2 hours if dinner is
late. Substitute bean sauce for salted black beans++and abracadabra! Mein
See Jing Pie Quat! (Steamed Spareribs in Bean Sauce.)

-----STUFFING-----
1/2 pound Pork -- ground [I minced it
cleavers. S.C.]
4 Fresh water chestnuts -- peeled and finely mi
1 teaspoon Minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons Minced scallion
1 1/2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Thin soy sauce
1 Egg -- lightly beaten
1 teaspoon Cornstarch
2 large Bitter melons -- about 3/4 to

-----SAUCE-----
2 tablespoons Peanut oil
2 teaspoons Minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons Fermented black beans
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
3/4 cup Chicken broth
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch mixed with 1 -- teaspoon cold chicke
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
From Ken Hom's book -- Chinese Technique.
Combine the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl. Mix them thoroughly.
The hands are the best tool for this job.
Cut the bitter melon into 1-inch slices; discard the end pieces. With a
paring knife, trim out the insides. Lift them out. Stuff the cavity of
each slice with a generous spoonful of stuffing.
Arrange the stuffed pieces of vegetable on a plate and set the plate on a
trivet in a wok over enough hot water to come within 1 inch of the plate.
Cover the wok and steam the food for 20 minutes. Remove the platter and
trivet.
In a separate wok or pan, prepare the sauce. First heat 2 tablespoons
peanut oil. Add the garlic and fermented black beans, stir for a minute,
then add the Shaoxing wine, chicken stock and salt. Add the liquid that
results from the steaming of the melon. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Thicken with the dissolved cornstarch and flavor with sesame oil.
Pour the sauce over the bitter melons and serve.
Serves 2 as a main course.
NOTE: Hom makes no mention of blanching although another bitter melon
recipe in another book *does* say that it will cut the bitterness.

5 ounces chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
6 garlic cloves -- minced

Three Immortals Sauce
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 1
Categories : Sauces Chinese
Vegetables
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cloves garlic -- smashed and minced
thin slice of fresh ginger -- minced fine
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 cup cooking sherry -- (or dry sherry)
Soy, ginger, and sherry are called 'the three immortals' in chineese
tradition (okay, okay, in a couple of cookbooks I read once). To season a
veggie stir-fry you can use the following: When you have heated the wok,
add your oil or water, then add the garlic; as it starts to brown, add the
ginger; then start adding your veggies. When most of the veggies have
been added, pour in a healthy splash of sherry, which will steam the
veggies and adds a nice flavor. Add the soy near the end. Sake or sherry
is generally good for the steam that does much of the cooking in a veggie
stir-fry; a small splash at a time does the trick.

Traditional Veg Stir-fry sauce
Recipe By : narad@nudibranch.asd.sgi.com (Chuck Narad)
Serving Size : 1
Categories : Sauces Chinese
Vegetables
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup warm water
1 Vegetable Bullion cube -- OR
1 tablespoon miso paste
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon chineese 5-spice mix
1 tablespoon corn starch
couple of dashes of sesame oil (optional)
Dissolve the corn starch in a few tbs. of warm water, then mix all
ingredients together. Pour over the stir fry in the last minute or so,
stir until the cornstarch thickens. *light soy sauce has much less salt
than regular; some prefer the saltier flavor of standard soy. I like to
be able to get more of the soy flavor without getting overwhelmed with
salt.

Establishment: Hotel Riverside Plaza Tai Chang Kiu Road, Shatin, New
Territories. Western Cuisine Practical Class Gold Award - Hot entree Chef:
Chan Chi-hung Philip (Hotel Riverside Plaza)
To prepare: 1. Precook wild rice as a pilaf with chopped onions, chicken
stock, and appropriate amount of water. When cool, add grated Parmesan
cheese and let mixture cool.
2. Cut chicken breast portions butterfly style (i.e. slice in half and
spread open. Flatten and slightly stretch them (by gently pounding them
between two sheets of wax paper or inside a clean plastic bag. Season with
salt and pepper.
3. Lay a cone-shaped portion of rice stuffing on one side of each
flattened breast. Roll chicken breast up in a cone shape. Wrap each cone
firmly in aluminum foil (to maintain shape during cooking: the
professional recipe calls for plastic foil wrapping, but aluminum foil is
recommended for home cooking).
4. Blanch green leek stems, then refresh in cold water.
5. Make 4 very thin crepes about 20 cms wide (ingredients not included
above).
To cook: 1. Blanch pearled vegetables, celery and peas, then saute in
approximately 10 g butter, adding salt and pepper according to taste.
Keep a quarter aside.
2. To make sauce, reduce chicken stock and add fresh cream. Cook
briefly, then strain. Add fresh lemon juice and finish with butter as
required. Adjust seasoning and add chopped chervil according to taste.
3. Saute morels in approximately 10 g butter.
4. Heat some chicken stock (5 cups should be sufficient to completely
cover the four wrapped chicken portions). Simmer breasts in hot stock for
approximately 7 minutes. Remove from pan, discard aluminum foil
wrappings, and saute in approximately 60 g butter until lightly browned.
Then slice each into six portions, cut at an angle (30 to 40 degrees).
To present: Treasure Hunt takes the form of a chicken breast "boat", with
morel oars being rowed towards crepe "treasure bag" of vegetable "precious
stones" some of which have spilled on the shore.
1. Portion out 3/4 of vegetable pearls, celery and peas onto crepes
lifting crepe edges upwards to form bag shapes. Tie tops of bags with
blanched green leek stems (with decorative knotted bows if stems are long
enough).
2. Pour sauce onto plates. Arrange chicken slices in a line on sauce,
lay thick ends of morels between them. Place a crepe bag on each plate,
with reserved vegetable pearls laid beside bag. Garnish with chervil
sprigs (or watercress or parsley).
