SCRAMBLED MEXICAN TOFU

3 cups egg whites
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced onions
2 tablespoons chopped roasted green chili
6 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or cilantro
1/2 pound soft tofu
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 fresh tomato, peeled, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

In a small bowl, beat the egg whites until broken up and just beginning to
foam. Crumble the tofu finely and add to the egg mixture. Add the soy
sauce, turmeric and pepper. Set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the tomato, onions,
garlic, chili and cumin until the onion is translucent and all the liquid
has evaporated.

Add the egg whites and tofu mixture. Stir well with a wooden spoon and
scramble over medium heat until the egg whites are cooked.

Toss in chives or cilantro.

Start by boiling as many potatoes, cut in bite-size pieces, as you want
along with some chopped onion in barely enough water to cover. While
these are cooking make a thick white sauce in another pan. I use butter,
flour, some dried chicken broth powder, salt and pepper and a little
nutmeg. Add hot milk or cream or half and half to get the consistency you
want. Taste and adjust seasonings. Then pour the potato and onions into
the sauce, do not drain first, and adjust thickness to suit. Hope this
helps. Sorry about no amounts but it always changes for me depending on
how many people and/or potatoes I have.

Title: CHINESE: CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH PEANUTS IN SPICY
Categories: Main dish, Nuts, Chinese, Ethnic, Poultry
Yield: 6 servings

1/2 c Raw peanuts
3 c Peanut oil
2 Whole chicken breasts at
-room temp.
1 lg Egg white
1 1/2 tb Water chestnut flour
SAUCE:
4 Green onions
2 lg Cloves garlic
1 tb Minced ginger root
1/2 c Chicken stock
1/2 tb Sesame oil
1/2 tb Chinese red vingear
1/2 tb Dark soy sauce
1 1/2 ts (level) chili paste with
-garlic
1 tb Dry sherry
1 pn 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.
