GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN (2)
=========================
Quoting from the article the recipe was contained in, "The dish is not
difficult to make and can be prepared partially in advance. The crunch
texture of the chicken pieces is achieved by coating them with egg and
cornstarch, then deep-frying them twice - once to cook them through and
once at a higher temperature to make them brown and crisp. The velvety
sweet-sour sauce, which is combined with the chicken at the last minute,
provides a wonderful counterpoint. The amount of heat is your option.
Sixteen small dried red peppers provide a moderate amount of heat. Add
more or less to taste, but be careful not to bite into one. They are
dynamite!"
Ingredients:
------------
1 egg
1 tblsp cornstarch
1 lb boned, skinned chicken cut from thigh or breast
into 2 inch chuncks
About 16 small dried hot red chili peppers
4 to 5 green onions, cut diagonally into 1" pieces
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/4 tsp grated fresh gingerroot
Vegetable oil
Sauce:
------
4 tsp cornstarch
4 tsp sugar
4 tsp rice vinegar
6 tblsp soy sauce
1/4 C chicken broth
1/4 C water
1/4 C dry sherry wine
Instructions:
-------------
Whisk together thoroughly the egg and cornstarch. Add pieces of
chicken, turning to coat evenly.
In wok or deep-fat fryer, heat 2 inches of oil to 350 F. Fry chicken, a
few pieces at a time until lightly browned and just cooked through.
Drain on paper towels.
Combine sauce ingredients, mixing well. Set aside. (The chicken may be
fried the first time up to one hour in advance; the sauce can be
combined several days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.)
In frying pan, heat 1 TBSP of oil until hot. Add chili peppers and cook
until blackened. Add onions and stir-fry about one minute. Add garlic
and ginger, cooking briefly, but do not brown. Remove from heat.
Reheat deep oil to 400 F. Return chicken to fat, in batches, and cook
until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Re-stir sauce and add to frying pan with onions and peppers. Cook,
stirring until thickened and bubbly. Add chicken and cook, stirring,
until well coated and heated through. Serve over rice. Makes 3 to 4
servings.

Following is yet another recipe for General Tso's chicken. The
seasoning sauce is the tricky part of the dish. Instead of thickening
with corn starch as in most Chinese dishes, it is necessary to
caramelize the mixture, as in making candy. I suspect some restaurants
use honey as the sweetener in the sauce instead of sugar.
GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN
=====================
Ingredients:
------------
2 whole chicken breasts
1 orange rind, minced
2+ dried hot chili peppers, crushed
1 tblsp fresh ginger, minced
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup fried peanuts (w/out skin), chopped
Batter:
-------
1 egg
1/4 cup beer
2 tblsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash of pepper
Seasoning Sauce:
----------------
6 tblsp sugar
3 tblsp cider vinegar
5 tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions:
-------------
1. Skin and bone the chicken. Cut into 1-1/2" x 2" strips.
2. Mix batter. Add chicken, tossing lightly to coat. Cover and chill
for 1/2 hour.
3. Mix seasoning sauce.
4. Coat each piece of chicken well with cornstarch. Arrange chicken on
well-floured wax paper.
5. Heat 2-3" of oil in a pan until very hot. Fry chicken for 30
seconds. Drain well on a cookie sheet covered with paper towels.
6. Reheat oil over high heat until very hot. Refry chicken until
crispy and golden brown. Drain again and keep hot in oven.
7. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok over medium heat. Fry orange rind
until golden brown. Add chili and ginger, stir-frying 20 seconds. Mix
in seasoning sauce and heat to boil, stirring constantly until foam
subsides and the sauce thickens slightly and turns to glaze (about 2
minutes or more). Add fried chicken, tossing to coat well. Sprinkle
chopped peanuts on top.

GREEK HOMESTYLE CHICKEN
=======================
My wife taught me how to make this. She learned it in Greece, where
it's a common meal. It's incredibly delicious, and while it's cooking,
the smell will have everyone in the house salivating. She cooks it in
an open pan, but I find the chicken stays moister if you cover it (with
aluminum foil or some- thing) for the first half-hour or so. Either
way, it tastes great!
Ingredients:
------------
Four pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
juice of two lemons
four or five potatoes, peeled and sliced french-fry style
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 to 1 cup of water
one head of garlic, the cloves peeled but whole
oregano, salt, and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-------------
Place chicken in a shallow baking tray.
Arrange potatoes around chicken pieces. Scatter whole peeled cloves of
garlic around chicken and potatoes.
Mix together lemon juice and olive oil, and pour evenly over chicken and
potatoes. Add water until potatoes are just about covered.
Add salt, pepper to taste. Cover chicken and pototoes with generous
amounts of oregano.
Bake at 350 degrees, until tops of chicken are reddish brown.
Turn chicken, stir potatoes, and sprinkle on more oregano. If potatoes
aren't at least half-covered with liquid, add water.
Return to oven for about 15-20 minutes. Chicken is done when both sides
a lightly browned and potatoes are soft when touched with a fork.
Serve with a crusty bread, or with pita bread.

INDONESIAN SATE AND PEANUT SAUCE
================================
The Meat:
I've used pork fillets and chicken but my favourite is lamb. I use the
cut called *fillets* which is like the beef fillet or tenderloin only
much smaller. But you can use forequarter or leg or lamb - or chicken
or whatever you will.
Now cube your meat and place it in a bowl with:
~2-3 tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp sambal oelek (red pepper concentrate)
1 tsp dried cumin
1 tsp dried coriander
1 tsp turmeric
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp laos (dried galangal powder)
1 medium onion cut in quarters lengthwise then each quarter
cut crosswise - separate the layers
add a little water to the mixture to barely cover the meat and mix
everything well
Let this lot sit for a couple of hours in the fridge then remove the
meat and thread it on bamboo skewers that have been soaking in water.
You can intersperse the meat with some of the onion if you want (which
is why we cut it the way we did :) ) SAVE all the marinade.
Barbecue or grill the meat. Meanwhile take around half a cup of smooth
or crunchy peanut butter, put it in a saucepan, and gradually mix in the
marinade (strained, if you wish). Place over a gently heat and stir
while it heats through. If it doesn't look like enough, add more peanut
butter and more water - this stuff is ADDICTIVE so make plenty. You
might want to chuck in some more sambal oelek if you like your food
fiery. You can actually add quite a bit of water and still get a fair
amount of sauce from the peanut butter. It just seems to thicken up as
you go. But compensate by adding more soy (for the saltiness and
flavour) and more garlic and spicesas you see fit.
We have this dish with either plain rice or nasi goreng (fried rice).
We like to have side dishes of sliced gherkins, tomato quarters, and
bananas sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice.
If you don't feel up to grilling and saucemaking simultaneously, make
the sauce first and reheat it in the microwave when you need it. Add
sugar to it if you like a sweeter sate sauce. Use coconut milk instead
of water if you wish. Selamat makan!!!

JERK CHICKEN
============
1/2 cup Jerk Rub
1 Chicken
Instructions:
-------------
Rub jerk on Chicken. Cook. Eat. Have plenty of cold beer handy,
preferably Red Stripe.
Now the trick is obviously in the jerk rub. You can make your own or
buy a jar. Jerk is available in Caribean stores. Watch out, there is
some phony stuff appearing in supermarkets which is nothing like real
Jerk Seasoning.
To make your own jerk rub:
Jerk Rub:
---------
1 onion finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice (BTW, In Jamaica, allspice is called "pimento")
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinammon
4 to 6 hot peppers, finely ground (Habernero ideal, otherwise Jalepeno)
1 tsp black pepper
Mix together to make a paste (food processor ideal). Smear all over
chicken pork fish whatever. Let sit for a while. Keep leftover rub in
a jar in the frig.

JERK CHICKEN
============
Instructions:
-------------
6 to 8 green onions, diced
1 medium-sized onion, diced
2 to 4 scotch bonnet peppers or jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tblsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp whole cloves, crushed
1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
Instructions:
-------------
Place all ingredients except chicken in a food processor fitted with a
metal blade. Process for 10 to 15 seconds at high speed. Place the
chicken in a bowl and pour the marinade over it. Refrigerate for 4 to 6
hours.
Preheat grill until coals are gray to white.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and drain off any excess liquid.
Place on the oiled grill and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or
until the chicken is white in the center. Serve the chicken with fried
plantains, pumpkin rice with kale, and steamed okra.
Alternative:
------------
Jerk chicken can also be baked in the oven. Pour the jerk marinade over
chicken pieces (4 drum, 4 thigh) and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours,
turning after 3 hours. Remove the chicken pieces and place on a baking
sheet. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until meat pulls easily
away from the bone. Bake 30 to 40 minutes if using chicken breast
strips.

KUNG PAO CHICKEN #1
===================
Ingredients:
------------
1+ lb. chicken breasts. Since I usually don't decide what to have for
dinner until I get home, the chicken's usually frozen and I "nuke" it
until it's still fairly hard; then it's easy to cut into ~1/2" cubes.
Add 1+ Tbl corn starch and an egg white, mix it up and set aside.
A bunch (or more) green onions. Just pull off the dry or mushy parts
and rinse, but you can use pretty much the whole things. Cut 'em in 1/2
to 1 inch pieces. Add 1 or 2 crushed garlic cloves (or, if you're me,
4-6!)
3/4 cup peanuts (or more, or less).
Sauce: (I don't actually measure any of this)
----------------------------------------------
1+ tsp. chili paste w/ garlic
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. red wine vinegar or rice vinegar
1 tsp. sugar
1+ tsp. corn starch
1/4 cup chicken stock (I'm lazy: bouilon and water works fine)
1++ Tbl cooking sherry (white wine does the trick)
1 oz. soy sauce (I prefer the darker, but it doesn't matter)
5-10 dried red peppers (the ~1-2" long ones)
Instructions:
-------------
Get 1+ cup of oil (I use corn oil) REALLY hot in a wok. Within reason,
the hotter the oil, the more quickly the chicken will cook and the less
grease it will soak up. Cook the chicken until it's almost done, and
the pieces have stopped sticking to each other. Remove.
In the same oil, cook the peanuts. If you overcook them, they're pretty
bad. You'll find that you'll get a strong peanut odor (aroma?) in the
kitchen when they're ready to come out. Remove.
Dump all but ~2 Tbl oil somewhere, and heat it to smoking. Add the
peppers, and cook until black (not very long!). Add the green onions
and cook (stir fry) ~30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir fry ~60
seconds. Add the sauce, and when the sauce begins to thicken, you can
turn off the stove. Stir in the peanuts.
After you've made this a couple times, and all the ingredients have
found their way into the same cabinet, you'll find that you can prepare
this using VERY few utensils and fairly quickly. I can have it on the
table, including "nuking" the meat, in under 30 minutes.
One final word of caution: if you want to double the recipe, cook the
meat in batches. If you try to cook more than ~1-1/3 lbs. of meat at
one time, it'll just sit in the wok and soak up grease.

is the chinese mentality, which often emphasize the cultural harmoney;
practically speaking, this is sometimes the fun for cooking.

chicken broth
Instructions:
-------------
Dice the chicken into 2cm cubes, marinade with salt, soy souce, corn
starch. put sugar, soy souce, vinegar, chicken broth, msg (optional) in
a container for later use.
Put a wok on a burner, hot!!!
Pour in the oil (if not the exacted oil, then corn oil or veg.oil) till
60% hot, put in the dry pepper, stir quickly till it turned red; then
put in the chicken dice, pure in some chinese cooking wine (not much,
just for flavor, you are not boiling it), stir a little bit.
Then put in the ginger, garlic, green onion (all in slices); put the

MURGH MAKHANI
=============
Ingredients:
------------
1 medium chicken, cut into lots of bits
2 medium onions, also cut into lots of bits
4 oz of unsalted butter
5-7 fl.oz of yoghurt (depending on how you like it)
5-7 tsp of tomato puree (again, use taste check)
1tsp chili powder
1tsp crushed garlic
1tsp crushed ginger
1.5tsp black cumin seeds
1.5tsp coriander
1tsp salt
2tsp garam masala
3 or so green chilis
fresh coriander
Instructions:
-------------
Mix the spices and yoghurt up in a bucket and throw in the chicken parts
and puree. Leave this to one side. In a thick bottomed pot, melt the
butter and fry the onions until they are sort of translucent. Pump up
the heat, throw the yoghurt/puree/spice/chicken mix into the seething
oil and stir fry, stirring continuously in big loops, for 5 minutes or
more. Turn down the heat to about simmering temperature and add about
0.25 - 0.3 pint water. Let this simmer/cook for about 30 minutes or
until you have started biting the table with the wonderful smell coming
from the pot. Chop up the green chilis and coriander, and dunk them in.
Cook for a further 10 mins, then serve with basmati rice, naan and some
sort of daal.
Mind you, eating this meal every day will lead to a swift cholestrol
death, but the flavour is superb. I have found when serving this to
other people that aren't used to spicy food, cutting down on the chili
and cumin seeds helps a lot.

ORANGE CHICKEN WITH GREEN GRAPES (300)
======================================
(Serves: 4)
Ingredients:
------------
1 (3 pound) chicken, cut up
1/2 tsp salt (less)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
3/4 tsp paprika (for color)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 Tbsp chopped scallions
1.5 tsp instant chicken bouillon granule (yuck! try spice mix)
1/2 tsp finely grated orange peel
1 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbsp. cold water
2/3 cup seedless grapes, halved
Instructions:
-------------
1. Preheat to 350 deg. Arrange chicken skin up in 13x9x2" baking pan.
Season w/salt, pepper, and 1/4 tsp. paprika.
2. In bowl, mix o.j., scallion, bouillon granules (or spice mix) and
peel. Pour over chicken, and bake 1 hr., until chicken is brown and
tender.
3. In medium saucepan, mix dissolved cornstarch and remaining paprika.
Stir in 3/4 cup of pan drippings; bring to a boil. Stir constantly
until thick and bubbly. Add grapes and cook for 2 min., until hot.
Footnotes:
----------
If you poor the juices from cooked chicken into a container, then
refrigerate, waxy fats will congeal at the top, easy to scrape off of
the high protein gelatin underneath, then later, you need only heat up
the gelatin to have homemade broth or soup base! Can be stored in
freezer in old yogurt/sherbert containers for a long time.
Bouillon granules are frequently high in salt and MSG, among other
nasties. Instead try salt-free spice mixes, such as Parsley Patch (R)
or Mrs. Dash (R), or add a little more scallions and peels.
Other orange-chicken recipes may ask for 1/8-1/4 tsp. ground cloves
(yum!), 1 Tbsp. honey, 1/4(+)tsp. cinnamon, and/or fresh or frozen
berries (cran, ras, black, etc.). Try mixing and matching to get your
own favorite blend.
To add "orange" to chicken *breasts*, melt (<) 2 Tbsp. butter in frying
pan over med heat, add seasoned chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
Then continue with sauces as described above...

(Apic. 6, 9, 13)
Ingredients:
------------
1 fresh chicken (approx. 1-1.5kg)
100ml oil
200ml Liquamen, or 200ml wine + 2 tsp salt
1 leek
fresh dill, summer savory, coriander, pepper to taste
a little bit of Defritum
Instructions:
-------------
Start to fry chicken and season with a mixture of Liquamen and oil,
together with bunches of dill, leek, summer savory and fresh coriander.
Then cook approximately 1 hour with 220 deg C in the oven. When the
chicken is done, moisten a plate with Defritum, put chicken on it,
sprinkle pepper on it, and serve.
Notes:
------
-- Defritum: Either thick fig syrup, or must that's boiled until you
have only a third of the amount with which you started.
-- Liquamen: a salty fish sauce. Most of the time you can replace it by
salt.

ROCK CORNISH HENS STUFFED WITH CURRIED RICE
===========================================
Ingredients:
------------
6 Rock Cornish hens
1 1/4 cup rice
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup dried currants
salt
1 1/2 t curry powder
freshly ground black pepper
large pinch cayenne pepper
4 1/2 T unsalted butter
3 1/4 cup chicken broth
3 T minced onion
3 strips bacon
1 small tart apple, chopped
1-2 T Madeira (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Rinse hens and pat dry. Squeeze lemon juice inside cavities and rub
outside with cut lemon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Melt 1 1/2 T. of the butter in heavy medium saucepan. Add onion and
apple. Saute, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until onion is
softened but not browned, about 5 min. Add rice, currants, curry
powder, and cayenne. Reduce heat to low. Saute, stirring frequently,
for 5 min. Stir in 2 1/2 cup of the broth. Heat to boiling then reduce
heat to low. Stir once and cook, covered, over low heat until rice is
tender and all the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 min. Remove from
heat. Let stand, uncovered, 15 min. to cool slightly. Spoon rice into
cavities of hens. Truss hens.
Melt remaining butter in large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add
bacon. Reduce heat to low. Saute, stirring occasionally, until bacon
begins to brown, about 8 min. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, reserve.
Add hens to drippings in skillet, working in batches if necessary.
Saute, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about
20 minutes. Reserve drippings.
Heat oven to 350 F. Place hens breast side up in roasting pan. Pour
drippings over hens, baste with remainig 3/4 cup broth. Roast,
uncovered, 45 min., basting frequently with pan juices. Sprinkle hens
with reserved bacon. Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Roast until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced,
about 30 minutes.
Remove hens to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Strain pan juices
into small saucepan. Skim off fat. Stir in 1-2 T. Madeira, to taste.
Remove trussing from hens. Spoon sauce over hens when serving.
Serves 6.
Variation:
----------
This is even better that the original. Substitute wild rice for all or
part of the rice. You will have to check to see how much raw wild rice
you will need to yield the same amount of cooked rice. I don't really
remember what amount I use. Also check on the difference in cooking
times for wild rice. Be sure to use a good quality curry powder. I go
to an oriental grocer and get Madras curry powder from India. It's much
better than most American versions.

STAYKA'S CHICKEN VINDALOO'N'PINEAPPLE
=====================================
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
------------
250g chicken breast (or any other poultry)
1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
1 can (250g) sweet corn (the little yellow thingies)
1 cup pineapple pieces (it was what I had left - add to taste...)
3 tsp vindaloo curry paste ++hot (be careful, dangerous stuff!)
2 tsp vindaloo curry powder ++hot (you can substitute hot chili powder)
0.5 - 1 cup soy sauce to marinate chicken in
Instructions:
-------------
1.) Slice chicken in small pieces (1 piece, 1 bite) and marinate in soy
sauce (ten minutes should suffice), then throw chicken + sauce into a
pan (don't throw over too far a distance, *you* have to clean up the
mess)
2.) Fry chicken in pan. Make sure it is well done, you don't want to
eat salmonellas.
3.) Put the can of tomatoes + the can of sweet corn into the pan and
cook together with the chicken pieces (make sure to remove the cans
before cooking).
4.) Add vindaloo curry paste + powder (well, and if you like it *really
hot* - and I *mean* REALLY - also add some hot chili powder) and stir
until everything is well blended.
5.) Add pineapple pieces.
6.) Serve hot :-)
I *strongly* suggest that you start with half of the aforementioned
amount of vindaloo spice and add more to taste! It's always easier to
*add* something than trying to fish it out of the meal...
Normally I eat one serving for lunch and keep the second one for dinner.
I found it certainly addictive, once I got over the initial shock of the
added pineapple pieces. You can moderate the impact of this fiery stuff
(well, my teaspoons are rather well heaped) with an additional portion
of rice or nan (the wonderful Indian bread).
Variations:
-----------
When you like onions you can also add two finely chopped onions. As I
despise them, I don't... Other variations include adding 1 tsp finely
chopped ginger, 1 tbsp ground almonds, 1 tbsp ground cashew nuts, 1 tsp
lemon juice, 1 medium diced potato, 1 tbsp red vinegar. Just experiment
a bit with the additional ingredients. I only add those things when I
find them in the kitchen + I have enough time to do some experiments...

chicken juices to make it thicker. Place additional shredded scallions
and ginger over the chicken, pour the sauce over it and heat up about 4T

SWISS CHICKEN CASSEROLE
=======================
Ingredients:
------------
5-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of water
1 pkg swiss cheese
1/2 stick of butter
1 pkg coarse bread crumbs

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in the bottom of a
casserole dish (dish needs to have a lid). In a small bowl, mix soup
and water then pour over chicken. Put a layer of swiss cheese over
this. Melt butter and add enough bread crumbs to take up the butter.
(I always add quite a bit - I like a crunchy top :-) Sprinkle bread
crumbs/butter over the cheese. Bake in a 375F oven for 35-45 minutes
until nicely browned and bubbly.
Note:
-----
I use lite or fat free swiss and also Campbell's Healthy Request soup to
reduce the amount of fat.
