  • Mock Chicken (Buddhist)

    Recipe

    Title: Mock Chicken (Buddhist)
    Categories: Chinese, Vegetarian, Ceideburg 2
    Yield: 1 batch

    3/4 c Basic chicken stock
    2 tb Light soy sauce
    1 tb Sugar
    1 tb Oriental sesame oil
    1 ts Salt
    8 Dried bean-curd sheets,
    -soaked to soften
    Peanut oil for deep-frying

    I got into the cookbooks looking for the Buddhist mock meat dishes
    and ran across a bunch of other “mock” stuff, some of it vegetarian
    and meant to satisfy the craving for meat and some of it meant to
    represent other ingredients not available at the time. This first
    recipe is for “Mock Chicken”. I’m not sure if the use of chicken
    stock would be permitted to a strict Buddhist vegetarian++I suspect
    not++but I imagine a hearty veggie stock could be substituted. Dried
    bean curd can give a surprisingly realistic impression of meat
    products.

    Bring stock, soy, sugar, sesame oil and salt to boil. Cool. fold
    bean-curd sheets into oblongs (approximately 4 by 8 inches) and stack
    the sheets on top of each other, spooning the stock mixture between
    each layer. Roll stacked sheets into oblong loaf, wrap in cheesecloth
    and steam on rack over boiling water for 20 0minutes. Remove
    cheesecloth and fry loaf in deep oil until golden. Drain and cut
    into 1/2-inch diagonal slices.

  • Title: MINNIE AND AUNT PETE’S YEAST ROLLS
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 36 servings

    6 c Flour
    1/2 c Sugar
    3 ts Salt
    2 Egg whites
    2 pk Yeast
    2 1/4 c Warm water, 110 degrees

    Cut shortening into flour, salt and sugar. Dissolve
    yeast in warm water and add to flour mixture, then add
    egg whites. Mix together, knead until smooth and
    elastic (DON’T overknead and add only enough flour to
    keep dough from sticking) and let rise 1-1/2 hours, or
    until doubled in size.

    Punch dough down, roll out on a lightly floured
    surface, shape into rolls and place in greased muffin
    tins . Let rise until doubled in size and bake in a
    375 degree oven 10 to 12 minutes or until brown.

    NOTE: these rolls can also be frozen on cookie sheets
    and placed in zip-loc freezer bags for up to 4 weeks
    after they have been shaped before the second rising.
    Take out of freezer at least 3 hours before baking,
    place in greased tin and let thaw and rise until
    doubled in size.

    Source: My beloved, albeit eccentric, grandmother and
    great aunt, who married and then built their houses
    side-by-side and remained culinary collaborators, to
    their family’s benefit, all their lives. Deb’s notes:
    these are an old family favorite and they’re quite
    flexible. It’s pretty hard to mess ’em up. They work
    as well for breakfast with jam or honey as they do
    with with dinner. Sometimes I substitute whole wheat
    flour for up to half the bread flour called for.

    I’ve successfully halved the recipe (3 cups bread
    flour, 1 pkg yeast or about 1-1/2 ts bulk) in my
    Hitachi ABM–BUT, BUT, BUT–I _don’t_ add the full
    amount of water at once. Rather, I start out with
    about 7/8 cup and then dribble enough add’l water into
    the bread pan during the early stages of the knead
    cycle ’til the dough “looks right”.
