Title: Chicken Chunks with Peanuts in Spicy Sauce (Kung Pao)
Categories: Chinese, 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.

Title: Seasoning Mixture for Brazier-Grilled Lamb
Categories: Chinese, Lamb, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

1 Clove garlic, crushed
1 Scallion, minced
1 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Soy paste
1 tb Sweet soy jam
1/2 ts Chinese chili sauce
1/2 ts Sesame oil
Raw eggs, beaten and placed
-in individual bowls

This is a variant sauce with a slightly different cooking method.

These amounts are for individual serving bowls. Increase them to
suit the number of diners. In this case, each diner grills the meat
first then dips it in the raw egg to coat, then in the bowl of
seasonings. Also served with steamed buns. If soy paste and sweet
soy jam are unavailable, substitute peanut butter (or tahini, I would
imagine) and black currant jam.

MINESTRA DI RISO PER PESACH

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups Italian
Holiday

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 Chicken breast halves
-boneless
1 Egg — slightly beaten
1/4 c Matza meal*
2 ts Broth or — water
1/2 ts -salt
1 d Cinnamon or nutmeg
2 1/2 qt Chicken broth
1/2 c Rice — uncooked
8 Eggs, small — hard boiled

Passover Chicken Soup with Rice *matza meal is
available at some supermarkets and Jewish grocery
stores

"I did not learn of the traditional matza ball soup
served during the first two nights of Passover until I
came to this country. Our classic soup was a chicken
soup with rice to which were added balls of chicken
breast and whole immature eggs (which are still at the
stage where the outer shell and white have not yet
formed; they are perfectly round and vary from less
than 1″ to less than 1 mm in diameter.) It was a
beautiful soup to look at, with the white rice, the
golden meat balls, the orange eggs (from chickens
raised on private farms …)…Here in America I could
never find immature eggs, so I replace them with hard
boiled egg yolks.

Grind or finely chop the chicken broth. In a bowl,
combine the beaten egg with matza meal and 2 Tbsp of
water or broth. Mix well; add ground chicken, salt,
spices and mix well again. Set aside to rest in the
refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. Shape the
mixture into tiny balls, no larger than the egg yolks.
Bring the broth to a boil; add rice, chicken balls and
cook, covered for 15-20 minutes. Peel eggs, discard
whites and place one hard boiled egg yolk in each of
the eight bowls. Pour the soup over the egg yolks and
serve immediately.
