Title: Beef Sukiyaki
Categories: Beef
Yield: 4 Servings

2 oz cellophane noodles
3 T suet (or peanut oil)
6 scallions,cut into 1" slices
10 shiitake mushrooms - (abt 8
-oz)
8 oz Chinese cabbage,thinly
-sliced
4 oz snow peas
(or bamboo shoots (or bean
-sprout,Sliced
2 T sugar
1 1/2 lb top sirloin,prime (or
choice grade ),very thinly
-sl
1/2 c sake
1/2 c soy sauce
2 c beef stock,or more as
-necessary
8 oz firm tofu
1 bn trefoil - (3 oz of leaves)
Short-grain sticky rice

Cook the noodles al dente according to the package directions.
Rinse under cold water and cut into 2-inch lengths.

Heat half of the suet in a large heavy saute pan or wok over medium- high heat until it begins to melt. Cooking the ingredients in 2 batches, add half of the scallions, mushrooms, cabbage, and snow peas, and toss to coat with hot fat. Stir in half of the sugar and caramelize the vegetables for about 2 minutes. Push the vegetables to the side and add some of the beef in 1 layer, sear until browned on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes, and then push it aside as it cooks and add more of the beef until you have used half of it; do not overcook.

Add 1/4 cup each of sake and soy sauce, about 1 cup of the stock, and half of the tofu. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low, add half of the noodles and trefoil, and simmer briefly, until the vegetables are just cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes. Keep warm while you prepare the second batch, repeating the process. Serve in warm bowls with the rice on the side.

Notes: Cellophane noodles are called for in this recipe, but
traditionally, shiratake -- a thin starchy noodle made from a root vegetable -- is used. Shiratake is hard to find unless you have a good Japanese market nearby. One option with this recipe is to double the amount of noodles and omit the rice.

Suet is a little-used ingredient these days, but it gives the dish a richness that the oil does not. Traditionally, raw egg is used with sukiyaki, as a dip; it cooks immediately on contact with the hot food. However, due to health concerns, the egg is often omitted and it is not recommended if you are preparing the dish in your kitchen to bring to the table. If you prefer to omit the tofu, add more beef or vegetables.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Sukiyaki is a Japanese stir-fry that is traditionally
prepared at the table in a special pan. Guests use chopsticks to serve themselves out of the pan or to cook the meat in the simmering broth, as with fondue. This recipe has been adapted so that it can be prepared quickly in your kitchen. It uses trefoil, a member of the parsley family, which has a long thin stem with many 3-pointed leaves. It has a light flavor somewhat similar to sorrel or celery. Trefoil can be found in some Asian markets but if it is not available, use 3 ounces of sorrel or spinach.

Title: Braised Eggplant - {Ca Phao Kho}
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 4 Servings

2 lb Japanese eggplant,halved
-lengthwise
1 T vegetable oil
2 lg garlic cloves,peeled and
-minced
6 oz beef,Ground
1 T fish sauce (nuoc mam)
Coarse sea salt,to taste
Freshly-ground white pepper
-to taste

Char the eggplants on all sides over an open flame on medium-high heat or in a dry skillet on an electric stove. When the skin has blackened on all sides, allow to cool. Peel the eggplant and cut into large chunks.

Heat the oil in a clay pot or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the ground beef and stir so the beef separates, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the eggplant and fish sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Braise, partially covered, until the eggplant has cooked down but is still slightly chunky, about 30 minutes.

Variation: If you do not like the smoky flavor of the charred
eggplants, simply skip step 1. Instead, cut the eggplants, skin on
into large chunks and proceed with step 2.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

Title: Broccoli In Oyster Sauce
Categories: Chinese
Yield: 4 Servings

1 bn Chinese broccoli (gai larn)
(available at Chinese
-stores)
6 c boiling water,mixed with
1 t salt,and also
1 T groundnut/peanut oil
(or 6 cups light chicken
-broth/stock)
----- FOR THE SAUCE ==================
1 T chicken broth (stock)
1/4 c oyster sauce (available at
-Chinese store

Trim each stalk of broccoli. Use only the top 6 inches of each
broccoli stalk. Discard the leaves except for the young leaves at the tips. Wash the broccoli under cold running water, and pat dry with paper towels.

Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli and boil over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, gently simmer together the 1 tablespoon chicken broth and oyster sauce. Strain the broccoli out of the water, arrange neatly on a serving plate and cut the stalks in halves with a pair of scissors.

Spoon the oyster sauce over the broccoli greens and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Chinese broccoli, or kale, does not resemble Italian
broccoli, which is a member of the cabbage and cauliflower family. It is, instead, a stem vegetable with small white flowers and dark green leaves. The stems are slender and juicy, while the leaves have a slightly bitter taste. This vegetable was cultivated originally in China's southern states, particularly Guangzhou (Canton), but is now grown in most parts of China.

Title: Crispy Green Onion Pancakes
Categories: Chinese
Yield: 4 Servings

3 c all-purpose (plain) flour
-plus extra
as needed
1 c water,Boiling
1/4 c water,Cold
4 t Asian sesame oil - (about)
1 t coarse salt,or more to taste
2 T green (spring) onion,Chopped
1/4 c peanut oil,or as needed

In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, place the 3 cups flour. With the processor motor running, pour the boiling water through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream. When the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the work bowl in 5 to 10 seconds, add the cold water. Continue to process until the dough comes together in a rough ball, about 15 seconds. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour and continue processing for 30 seconds longer.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth, soft, elastic and no longer sticky, 1 to 2 minutes, dusting lightly with flour if needed to reduce stickiness. Gather the dough into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat lightly on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead only until smooth and no longer sticky, 1 to 2 minutes. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out 1 piece into a 10- to 12-inch round about 1/8- inch thick. Evenly brush the top with a thin film of about 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of the coarse salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the green onion evenly over the round. Starting from one side, roll up tightly and pinch the ends to seal in the onions. Anchor one end and wind the long roll around it into a flat spiral coil. Tuck the end under and press the coil to flatten slightly. Roll out the
coil into a pancake 7 to 8 inches in diameter and about 1/4-inch thick. Cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.

To fry the pancakes, heat a 9-inch frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add enough of the peanut oil to coat the bottom with a 1/8-inch layer. When the oil is medium-hot, add 1 pancake, cover and fry, shaking the pan occasionally, until the bottom is golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Using a wide spatula, turn the pancake over; if the pan is dry, add a little more oil. Re-cover and continue to fry, shaking the pan occasionally,until the second side is golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes longer.

Remove the cover, slide the pancake onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Transfer to a serving dish and serve at once, or keep warm while you fry the remaining pancakes.

This recipe yields 4 pancakes; serves 4.

Comments: These flaky flat breads can be found in street stalls
throughout northern China and in Taiwan. Although the bread requires patience and labor, it is such a delectable treat that it is well worth the effort.
