Egg Drop Soup  (take two)

I posted a recipe awhile back for this soup and tonight's iteration was even tastier, so I thought I'd update you on it. Plus pics!

Ingredients
chopped onion
minced garlic
minced ginger
sesame oil

water
soy sauce
mirin sauce
chili sesame oil/chili sauce
chicken carcass with some meat still on it

2 cans creamed corn
corn starch
sliced mushrooms (shiitake are yummy, but plain white ones will do)
chopped fresh green onion
3 eggs

Preparation
As I mentioned last time, the quantities are pretty vague. It really doesn't matter, just throw in how much you feel is right into the pot!

Pan fry at low-med heat in sesame or olive oil: onions, garlic, ginger.

Add water & sauces, chicken carcass & leftover meat. Let simmer.

Add creamed corn and other veggies, and more water if needed. This will cool the soup: let it reheat until simmering before adding the eggs.




Taking a peek to see if it's hot enough to drizzle in the egg. (Beat the eggs while you wait)

Reserve some broth to mix in corn starch, and add this to the pot.

When the soup is bubbling gently again, drizzle the eggs as slowly as possible. They'll cook instantly, creating a web and further thickening the soup. I stirred while pouring mine, so they cooked in tiny bits. If you prefer larger strings, don't stir while drizzling them into the pot.


Chinese bowl and spoon are mandatory!

3rd version, swirl the soup and then drop in the eggs.  You should get long & thin strands.

Anyone make risotto?  I love the PC risotto, and could eat it breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but am thinking of tackling it from scratch.

Chicken wings

• Cut chicken wings into section (don't throw away the tip if you're feeding crazy Chinese people. )
• Wash & pat dry the wing sections
• Toss in flour & seasoning
• Deep fry lightly
• Finish in oven
• Toss in sauce of your choosing (Frank's Red Hot, BBQ sauce, etc)

Alternative versions

• Bread in flour, then egg, then flour for Extra crispy version
• Bread in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs for chicken finger style breading (or just use this technique to make your own chicken fingers using chicken breasts)

Caribou Sashimi

Step 1 - Fly to Bathhurst Island
Step 2 - Kill Caribou with large rifle
Step 3 - Organise town feast
Step 4 - Bring back Caribou and skin and quarter
Step 5 - Eat Caribou with Jack Knife

A specialty of Resolute Bay.  And quite tastey I might add.  If i can get the recipe for their buktuk chowder made with Whale I will post it.  Both were excellent.

That breading with baking powder increases the crispiness of baked wings...  I'll try that!

Here is a recipe I enjoy making often.  It changes a lot, but there are some constants.

Curry, Crab and Avocado soup

4-5 Avocados
1-2 large tins of Crab meat.  (I usually get some crab flavoured polluck too)
1 liter of chicken stock
1 cup of milk or cream
garlic to taste
yellow curry, salt and pepper to taste
small amount of lemon or lime juice

Put the avocado's in a pot with the chicken stock, fake crab meat, curry and garlic.   Get everything heating up,  and then blend it all to a soup.  Then add the rest of the ingredients.  Season to taste. I sometimes put in a little dash of hot sauce as well.  I like this soup because it is good for you,  quick to make,  and keeps well.  (That's what the citric acid is for)

Here is a simple but tasty trout recipie that I have been eating.

2 x trout, been using rainbow trout that is about 8-10' long
1-2 lemons depending on tastes, zest both of them then half them.  if using 1 lemon keep 1 half whole, slice the other.  if using 2 keep 2 halfs whole and slice the others
About a bunch of flat leaf parsley chopped up
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Bakeing pan with a wire rack
Butter



Pre heat the over by cranking up your broiler to max, position the oven racks where the fish will be about 6" away from the broiler

1) Clean and scale the trout, I like to clip off the fins
2) Make a few slices on each side of the fish about a 1/4" deep
3) Rub olive oil all over the fist(fish) inside and out
4) Salt and Peper all over to taste
5) Line the inside of the fish with the lemon slices then pack in the parsley
6) Put the fish on the rack that is on the baking pan and put some butter on top of the fish as well as half the lemon zest
Broil the fish for about 6 min per side, when I flip the fist i put some butter and the remainder of the lemon zest on top
9) Open a bottle of beer
10) Eat the fish.

Edit:

Before the beer this cost less then $10 to make assuming you have the oil, salt and pepper at home.  It also takes less then 30 min from prep to eating.

Curry, Crab and Avocado soup

This sounds awesome, I'd never thought of pairing curry and avocado but it seems like a natural pairing.  I'll have to substitute a different meat however, shellfish makes me die.

Pffft.

For those who prefer originals to knock-offs:


IMGP0501 by pistachoo, on Flickr

In a large pan, sauté:
olive oil
crushed garlic
prawns
Italian salad dressing

put the prawns aside and, in the same pan:
anchovy paste
olive oil
linguine
arugula

season to taste:
crushed chili peppers (opt)
Parmesan
pine nuts
fresh ground pepper & sea salt

*It's basically this, plus prawn. I've also made it with salmon fillet chunks.

[JimmEh]

if the knock off has bacon and the original does not? knock off all the way.

I've been making these lately, always really good.

Steamed Oysters

You'll need:
Large oysters
light soy sauce
vegetable/canola oil
green onions
ginger

Directions:
1. Crack open the oysters and rinse them clean. Keep them in one half of the shell.
2. Steam oysters for about 5 minutes(depending on size of oysters)
3. As the oysters are steaming away, heat a several tablespoons of oil in a small pot on low heat. It should heat up enough to start smoking a tiny bit by the time the oysters are done.
4. Slice some green onion bottoms and ginger into thin slices(see picture below)
5. When the oysters are done steaming, remove from steaming tray and sprinkle the green onion and ginger on top of each oyster shell.
6. Drizzle the hot oil over top of each oyster shell. (They should sizzle as the oil hits the greens. If it doesn't, your oil isn't hot enough)
7. Lastly add some light soy sauce over each oyster shell. Enjoy!

ahh the traditional chinese way, my mom likes to make it like this...yumm.

[pistachoo]

That oyster dish looks and sounds delicious!

The French side of me deplores this, however:

1. Crack open the oysters and rinse them clean. Keep them in one half of the shell.
2. Steam oysters for about 5 minutes(depending on size of oysters)

I grew up spending summers in former oyster farms in France standing knee deep in the water with a hammer, knife and lemon wedge.
