Recipe

Title: Marinade for Steak
Categories: Sauces
Yield: 4 servings

1 c Olive oil
1 x Or:
1 x Or:
2 T Soy sauce
1 x Coarsely ground pepper
1 t Italian seasoning
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2 c Sherry vinegar
1/2 c Wine; red or white
1/4 c Lemon juice
2 ea Garlic cloves; sliced
2 T Freshly chopped herbs
1 x Red peppercorns; if desired
1 t Sugar

“… Ingredients in a marinade can be varied, but it is important to
use wine, vinegar, lemon juice, or some acidic liquid to break down
the connective tissues. This process will make the steak more tender.
Remaining marinade ingredients add flavor.” Use a good-quality olive
oil or walnut oil; add good-quality wine or vinegar and a combination
of fresh and dried herbs, seasonings, garlic and soy sauce to make a
flavorful marinade. 1. Place all ingredients in glass screw-top jar;
shake vigorously. Arrange meat in shallow glass dish; pierce with a
fork. Pour marinade over meat; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate
several hours or overnight, turning meat occasionally. 2. Remove
meat from marinade; pat dry. Remove any pieces of spices or herbs
that may stick to meat. This recipe is a steak marinade, but the
ingredients can be adapted for other meats using the same techniques.

  • Title: ROMERTOPF’S BEGGAR’S CHICKEN
    Categories: Chinese, Poultry
    Yield: 4 servings

    Stephen Ceideburg
    4 lb Frying chicken, cut into
    -sections
    Arrowroot
    MARINADE:
    1 ts Sesame oil
    1 tb Dry sherry
    1/4 ts Chinese Five Spices (see
    -note below)
    1/4 ts White pepper
    1 Clove pressed garlic
    1/4 c Soy sauce
    1 ts Grated fresh ginger root

    For teriyaki lovers, here’s the finest recipe inspired
    by the excellent little pamphlet Cook in Clay
    published by the makers of the Romertopf pot. We’ve
    served this dish, with variations, to as many as a
    dozen guests with never anything less than ecstatic
    results. The chicken comes out tender and full of
    flavor, especially after being marinated in this
    incredible sauce. You can add all sorts of Chinese or
    Japanese seasonings, but be sure they stay on the
    bland side. Caution: Don’t add any salt-there’s enough
    in any good soy sauce. (We prefer the rich, heavy soy
    sauce bottled in Hong Kong in a brown stone jug by Ko
    Sang Yick.)

    In a non-metal bowl, combine the ingredients for the
    marinade, mix well, and marinate the pieces of chicken
    for at least half a day, turning frequently.

    When ready to cook, presoak pot, top and bottom, in
    water for 15 minutes.

    Add the chicken and the marinade to the pot.

    Place covered pot in a cold oven.

    Set temperature to 450 degrees F.

    Cook 45 minutes.

    Ten minutes before end of cooking time, remove the pot
    and pour off the liquid into a saucepan.

    Return the pot to the oven, uncovered, for the final
    10 minutes of cooking.

    Meanwhile, bring the liquid in saucepan to a boil and
    thicken with arrowroot.

    Serve with rice, liberally drenched with the sauce.

    For an optional Chinese touch, sprinkle the chicken
    with almonds and sesame seeds.

    Note: Chinese Five Spices are a combination, in powder
    form, usually found in Chinese markets. If not
    available, use star anise, ground to a powder with a
    mortar and pestle.

  • Korean Bread

    Recipe

    Title: Korean Bread
    Categories: Korean, Breads, Ceideburg 2
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 lb Malt flour
    2 lb Of red pepper powder
    5 lb Wheat flour
    1 lb Soybean flour, fermented
    1 ga Water
    1 lb Salt

    Lately I’ve been getting more into Japanese cooking which is different
    enough from Chinese that I had to do some serious larder stocking. It
    took visits to three different stores but I finally come up with the
    basics. One of the the stores turned out to be++ta da!++a Korean
    market so I now have the malt flour you keep referring to. In fact,
    I just put the first loaf utilizing it into the bread machine a few
    minutes ago. Depending on how this loaf turns out, I’ll post the
    recipe I’ve worked out for oatmeal bread.

    This Korean market is a fairly decent sized store for a hole in the
    wall and they have just about everything one would need for Korean
    cooking, including a fresh meat counter. Nice find! I’m used to
    buying things with labels I can’t read, but a lot of the stock in
    this store didn’t have *any* labels at all! This stuff was obviously
    locally produced by the Korean community and some was recognizable as
    Kim Chee, various bean pastes and the like, but with some of the
    stuff, I had absolutely no idea what it was++or even whether it was
    animal or vegetable in origin. I’ll go back when I have some time and
    find out what all those goodies are.

    Here’s a recipe that was on the bag of malt flour I thought you might
    get a kick out of. This is exactly the way it appeared on the bag.
    Put malt flour into lukewarm water and set aside for about 1 hour.

    Pour the malt melted water into pot (throw away the button setting).
    Put wheat flour into malt water, and make slow boil on low heat, and
    then simmer for about 1 hour. Remove the glue from heat and mix
    fermented soy bean flour and then lastly add hot pepper powder and
    salt, and mix well. *As for salt, you may add or reduce to your taste.

    *For soup use (Chigae), you better add more fermented soy bean flour.

    From the label on Haitai Brand Malt Flour.
