Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice

Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice Recipe

There isnt a curry that I dont like. Well, as long as the spice level is is not outrageously crazy! This is a seafood curry that I made recently on television, and its a Caribbean Creole curry from the cookbook, Flavors of Belize (I made Habanero Beef Skewers from the book too).

Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice Recipe

I learned something new from cookbook author Tanya McNabb Caribbean Creole is different from Louisiana Creole! Their cuisine features lots of seafood and use of coconut, so this recipe for Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice is a perfect example of a Creolean speciality.

Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice Recipe

Not only does the recipe take only 20 minutes to make (the rice takes 20 minutes, the curry really only takes 7 minutes), but the spice level is mild, perfect for kids too. The curry flavor comes from yellow curry powder and ground green cardamom, so its warming and comforting. Of course, you can add more chile sauce if you wish!

Coconut Curry Shrimp with Coconut Rice Recipe

The shrimp can be replaced with sea scallops or chunks of fish (grouper would be fantastic). The television crew loved it so much that we ate the entire dish minutes after filming!

Chinese Fried Wontons

Chinese Fried Wontons Recipe

Chinese dumplings are probably one of the most convenient and versatile foods to keep around.

1- They go from frozen to appetizer or dinner in just a few minutes.

2- You can pan fry/steam (like potstickers/gyoza), deep fry, boil or steam.

3- Theyll store in the freezer for months. Dumplings are my emergency food (unexpected hungry visitors!), midnight snack (shhhh.dont tell anyone) and my emergency dinner (crap!what can I make for dinner that takes 15 minutes?)

4- You can use any type of ingredient your little tummy desires. Shrimp, beef, lamb, tofu, mushroom, kale, spinach, carrots, etc. etc.

Chinese Fried Wontons Recipe

And if you make it a dumpling party where you invite your friends and family to fold up a crazy batch, its also entertainment :-) Not only can you eat them the same day, but everyone gets to take home a batch to store in the freezer.

Chinese Fried Wontons Recipe

I dont deep fry the dumplings much, but if Im frying up a batch of My Mothers Famous Chinese Egg Rolls (and heres a vegetable version), then we most definitely make double duty use of the oil to make Chinese Fried Wontons.

Chinese Fried Wontons Recipe

In this batch below, I used kale from the garden and ground turkey. But have fun, throw in whatever chopped vegetable that you like, whatever meat (or not) that you have on hand. Make up a big batch and save some for the freezer!

Chinese Fried Wontons Recipe Video

***

Chinese Wonton Tips

  1. Vegetable: I used kale in my video, and kale is NOT a water-dense vegetable. If you are using a water dense vegetable, like Napa cabbage, spinach and even regular cabbage, you will want to get rid of as much water from the vegetable as possible to avoid soggy wonton. Shred or finely chop the vegetable and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and toss. Let sit for 10 minutes. The salt will draw out a lot of the moisture from the vegetable. Take a handful of the shredded vegetable and squeeze hard to discard the water.If you are using frozen spinach, defrost, then squeeze out and discard as much water as possible. No need to salt.
  2. If you want to boil the wonton instead of frying, bring a pot of water to boil. Add in a batch of wonton. When the water returns to a boil, pour in 1 cup of cool water. Bring to a boil again. Add one more cup of cool water. Bring to a boil. Repeat one more time. Now your wonton is ready. Same procedure if you are adding the wonton frozen into the water. Drain and serve with dipping sauce. Substitute broth for water if you want to serve wonton with the broth. Throw in some noodles and vegetables to make wonton noodle soup!
  3. Dipping sauces I love ready-made chile sauces like Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce, Lingham Chili Sauce, Chinese chili-garlic sauce or rooster sriracha sauce. You can also make your own.

Chinese Fried Wonton Recipe

Servings: 50 wontonsPrep Time: 25 minutesCook Time: 10 minutes
chinese-fried-wontons-recipe-featured-1265

Ingredients:

1 pound ground meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 stalk green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 cups finely chopped kale (leaf only) or vegetables of your choice
1/2 cup water
1 egg
50 wonton wrappers, defrosted
cooking oil for frying

Directions:

In a large bowl, add the meat, ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry powder and kale and mix well to combine. To make the egg wash, in a small bowl, add the water and egg and whisk with a fork.

To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper flat in the palm of your hand. If frying, add 1 teaspoon of mixture to the center of the wrapper. If boiling, add 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Dip a finger in the egg wash, and paint all 4 edges with the wash. Fold the wonton in half, corner to opposite corner to make a triangle. Seal tightly all around. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the wonton. Fold the longer two triangle points together and seal to make the wonton shape.

Place folded wonton on a clean, dry plate or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out. When wontons are all folded, you can store or freeze.

To fry wontons, add 1 to 1 1/2 inches of cooking oil to a wok or pot. Heat the oil until it reaches 375F. Add a few wontons to the oil to fry, turning occasionally until they are golden brown. Remove them to a draining rack placed over a baking sheet so they can drain excess oil.

To boil wontons, see the recipe direction 6 from the Pork and Spinach Wontons recipe.

TO STORE:

- If you want to freeze the wonton, place all the UNCOOKED wonton flat on a plate. Do not crowd. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once the wonton are frozen, you can gather them up and store in freezer bag. This ensures that the wonton freeze individually (otherwise if the wonton froze and stuck together, it would be nearly impossible to cook.

- When ready to cook frozen wonton, they can go from freezer to simmering broth. Follow exact same cooking instructions. Since the wonton is frozen, it will take longer time for the broth to return to a simmer -- so it's self timing!

Chinese Egg Drop Soup

Chinese Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Chinese Egg Drop Soup is one of those dishes that can be made incredibly well as a warming start to a meal..or done terribly, horribly, no-no wrong. Theres an Asian restaurant near my house, not naming names but *cough* on 53rd Avenue *cough*, who serves Egg Drop Soup that has so much food coloring that it practically glows in the dark. In fact, when the server comes out with it, the lights flicker with a low *ddzzzzddzzz* sound due to the soups radioactive contents.

Chinese Egg Drop Soup Recipe

You know what I mean, right?

So let me show you how to make the soup right. Chinese Egg Drop Soup should be savory, soothing, a little warming heat from the white pepper. The eggs should be delicate, floating, whisper-thin silky strands. Do I have you craving for a bowl now?

Chinese Egg Drop Soup Recipe

This recipe is from Diana Kuans new book, The Chinese Takeout Book. Diana and I have not only gotten to know each other through blogging about Asian food (go Chinese sistahs!) but weve also shared a meal together early on, when she came to visit in Tampa. We also share the same literary agent (hi Janis!) and Im proud to share with you her recipe for Egg Drop Soup.

Chinese Egg Drop Soup Recipe

A note about ground white pepper: Buy it! Ground while pepper is lovely. Ignore anyone who claims it tastes strange. white peppercorn is basically a regular peppercorn, with the black outer coating removed. Its less pungent, and the effect is more of an all-over warming than hot. Plus, since its a powder, it dissolves well in soup (no harsh black flakes to bite on).

Servings: 4Prep Time: 5Cook Time: 10
Chinese Egg Drop Soup Recipe

Adapted from The Chinese Takeout Cookbook by Diana Kuan

You can use either dried Chinese black mushrooms or fresh shiitake mushrooms. If you use dried - soak them in water overnight or in very hot water for an hour. Drain, cut off and discard tough stems.

Ingredients:

6 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
1 large egg
handful thinly sliced green onion

Directions:

In a medium saucepan over high heat, add the mushrooms, chicken stock, rice wine and ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the salt and pepper.

Add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering soup and stir until the soup has slightly thickened (enough to coat the back of a spoon).

In a small bowl, whisk the egg lightly with a fork. Slowly pour the egg into the soup in a steady stream while continuouslly stirring with a ladle. The egg should cook immediately Turn off the heat to prevent from overcooking the egg. Sprinkle the green onions on top and serve.

Vegetable Egg Rolls Recipe

Servings: 50 egg rollsPrep Time: 25 minutesCook Time: 30 minutes
Vegetable Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

8 fresh shiitake mushroom caps or Chinese dried mushroom* caps, julienned
1/2 small cabbage (about 3 cups), shredded (napa or regular cabbage)
2 medium carrots, julienned
8-ounce can bamboo shoots, drained and julienned
cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 stalk green onion, finely chopped
2 handfuls of fresh bean sprouts
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
50 spring roll wrappers, defrosted
cooking oil, for frying

Directions:

*If using Chinese dried mushrooms, soak them in very hot water for 20 minutes to rehydrate. Cut off and discard the stem.

In a large saute pan or wok, swirl in 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil. Turn on the heat to medium-high and immediately add garlic, ginger and green onion, stirring frequently. By the time the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, cabbage, carrots and bamboo shoots.

Turn heat to high and stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes. and then toss in the bean sprouts. Add in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook for another minute. Then spread the filling out onto a large baking sheet. Prop the baking sheet up on one side to allow any sauce or oil to accumulate at the bottom (and discard)

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of cool watert to form a slurry.

Place a wonton or spring roll wrapper on a flat surface, add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable mixture into a corner of the wrapper, and then roll the edge of the wrapper tightly around the mixture. Fold the two side corners towards the middle of the wrapper while continuing to roll up. Paint the top edge with the cornstarch slurry mixture and wrap tightly the rest of the way. Make sure all edges are tightly sealed. Place seam side down. Cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying out.

In a large wok or saucepan over high heat, add about 1-2 inches of cooking oil

Slide several egg rolls into the oil and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, turning them over a couple times, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown. Remove the egg rolls to a cooling rack or paper-towel-covered plate to allow them to drain. Serve hot.
