Szechuan Eggplant With Beef

A delightful balance of spicy and savory, the dish is one of my favorite ways of cooking eggplant. The whole purpose of the spices and ingredients that I use, like star anise, Shaoxing wine, and aromatics like ginger and scallion, is to enhance the inherent flavors of my chosen protein and vegetables. A friend described the food as fresh, vibrant, and aromatic. Mission accomplished, I suppose.

In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude. – Julia Child

My unorthodox Yangchunmian noodle soup/阳春面

(This is the reason why I was rendering lard lol)

Homestyle unorthodox Yangchunmian noodle soup recipe (enough for 1 person but must be served in a big ramen bowl) (Note: this version includes pork fat and is therefore not vegan/vegetarian/halal/kosher):

Ingredients (optional ones marked with *):

Noodles (preferably thin)

Egg

Soy sauce

Cooking oil

Pork lard (preferably rendered following the recipe that includes baijiu/green onions/ginger; if not, there are brands out there that can imitate the taste)

Pyropia seaweed (this is what nori is made from so unseasoned nori is also fine; also sold dried in giant discs)

*Wakame (brown kelp) OR Shanghai bok choy (stem is green instead of white) OR dried shiitaki mushrooms

Green onion

Chinese black vinegar (the one I used is Duliu Laocu/独流老醋, Zhenjiang Xiangcu/镇江香醋 is also fine)

Ground white pepper

Sugar

*Salt

Sesame oil

*Fish sauce/鱼露

*Chicken bouillon powder

Preparation:

Chop green onion, just one will do

Tear off a 2"x2" piece of pyropia seaweed OR 2 small pieces of nori

*If adding bok choy, wash bok choy

*If adding dried shiitaki mushrooms, rehydrate it first

In a ramen bowl, add:

~4 tbsp of soy sauce

~3/4 tsp of pork lard

~1 tsp of Chinese black vinegar

*A few drops of fish sauce

~1/2 tsp ground white pepper

~1/4 tsp sugar

*~1/4 tsp chicken bouillon powder

~1/2 tsp seasame oil

Pour just enough hot water to melt pork lard and combine everything together, mix well

In a sauce pan (at least 1.5 qt):

Turn on heat, set to medium

When pan is hot, rub the pyropia seaweed on the bottom of the pan a couple of times to mimic toasting, then put seaweed into ramen bowl

Pour a little cooking oil into pan, fry the egg until over hard

Add 5 cups of hot water into pan

Add noodles, *add bok choy

Let it cook

*When noodles are halfway done, add the vegetable (wakame/shiitaki mushroom) as desired

When noodles are done, pour everything into bowl, mix well with the soup base in the bowl

*Add salt as desired

Top with fresh chopped green onion and serve

The end product should taste mildly salty, mildly sour, and umami. Overall taste should be mild.

#the reason the soup looks more like the soup in ramen is because I fried the egg before boiling it with the noodles #frying anything before making soup out of it will make the soup more opaque #the traditional version uses homemade clear chicken stock but aint nobody got time for that #chinese cooking #chinese food #recipes #yangchunmian #阳春面

Favorite summer side dish: smashed cucumber salad.

You need:

1 cucumber

2 cloves of garlic

Some soy sauce

Some black Chinese vinegar (Balsamico will do as well)

1 tsp gochujang/Korean red pepper paste (optional, not how I used to make this dish, but I like it)

Sesame oil (optional)

Smash cucumber with a cleaver or a rolling pin before cutting it. You can also be boring and just cut it, but smashing it makes marinating the cucumber easier.

Smash and cut garlic.

Add cucumber and garlic in a bowl.

Mix soy sauce, vinegar and optional gochujang in a cup and pour over cucumber and garlic. If you don’t use gochujang, you might want to add a little bit of sugar to balance out the soy sauce and vinegar.

Let it chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or longer. Keeps for a couple of days in the fridge.

Optional: Pour a bit of sesame oil over the mix right before eating. You can also add fresh chili, chili flakes, sesame seeds or anything else you like.

#cold smashed cucumber salad #favorite recipes #Chinese cooking #I guess the gochujang sort of makes it Korean?

Chinese Orange Chicken

Imagine some crispy fried chicken topped with a thick, bright orange sauce with a hint of seaweed and garlic. Some recipes are spicy and not spicy, but I will share a way to make them spicy if you want.

"Ooooh, that smells yummy..."

It's been a long week, so I drew my comfort crack ship again.

Reminder that in my headcanons, Zebedee is half Chinese on his mother's side. His mother taught all her children how to cook (just on the offchance that her sons didn't find wives straight away), so Zebedee is pretty talented in the kitchen.

So Zebedee is cooking himself some fried rice, which attracted the dainty nose of his teeny wife, Edward.

Sichuan Eggplant and Minced Pork

Some of the best eggplant I have ever eaten. Adapted from this recipe: https://www(dot)chinasichuanfood.com/chinese-eggplants-with-minced-pork/

INGREDIENTS

1 and 1/2 Japanese eggplants cut into cubes, each with a bit of skin.

3/4lb ground pork

1 baby bok choy, well cleaned, base removed, stems sliced half inch thick, leaves left whole or cut in half if larger.

3-4 green onions, white parts cut into 1/4 inch slices, green parts into batons

1 pkg dried maitake mushrooms rehydrated (larger parts separated), drained (you can probably sub many other types of mushrooms, though plain button style mushrooms might not be as flavorful).

1 TBSP minced ginger

3 cloves minced garlic

2 TBSP shaoxing wine

1 -2 TBSP doubanjiang (or to taste)

1 TBSP sugar

1 TBSP toasted sesame oil

4+ TBSP vegetable oil

2 TBSP soy sauce

Cornstarch for coating eggplant

1/4 cup roasted peanuts

METHOD

Soak eggplant in heavily salted water for at least 10 min. Make sure pieces are submerged. Thoroughly drain, then coat with cornstarch.

Heat 2 TBSP veg oil in wok on med high heat. Stir fry eggplant until dark and crispy, being careful not to burn. Approx. 6-8 min. Remove eggplant and reserve.

Add in 1 TBSP veg oil and stir fry pork until brown and crispy, breaking it up into fine pieces, 5-7 min. Remove and reserve with eggplant, leaving as much fat as possible in the wok.

Add last TBSP oil to wok. Stir fry mushrooms until brown and crisp, 3-4 min.

Add bok choy and fry until leaves are wilted, about 1 min.

Pour wine around outside edge of wok allowing it to run to center. This will steam off for a moment.

Once the steam dies down, open space in center of wok and place doubanjiang. Fry for 1 min then lower heat to low.

Add ginger, garlic, white part of green onion. Stir for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Add soy, toasted sesame oil, and sugar and toss to combine.

Add all reserved ingredients back to wok along with green part of green onion and toss to combine.

Remove from heat, garnish with peanuts, and serve.

16 ways to wrap jiaozi/Chinese dumplings (with English subtitles) - I use both no. 3 and no. 14 (and no. 6 but that always looks kind of ugly), but some of the others are so pretty, I really want to try them this year.

#like 15 and 16 #and the leaf shape #also I want to substitute 13 for 14 since it looks so much prettier #jiaozi #lunar new year #new year food #Chinese cooking #Northern Chinese cooking #Youtube
