Chinese Firecracker Nachos Ii Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Firecracker Pork: Heat the sesame oil over medium heat in a large saute pan or wok.
• Stir-fry the ginger until it starts to soften, approximately one minute; raise the heat to high.
• Break up the ground pork into chunks and place in pan.
• Stir in chili garlic sauce and the hoisin sauce.
• Continue to cook, stirring and breaking up the pork.
• Add the sesame seeds.
• Cook until the pork is dry on the outer surface and the juices have started to evaporate, so the chips don’t get soggy.
• (The pork mixture can be fried up to a day in advance and refrigerated).
• Preheat the oven to 475F.
• Assemble the nachos: Arrange the tortilla chips on a 12-by-18-inch baking sheet or ovenproof platter.
• Sprinkle on the cheese and then the pork mixture.
• Bake the nachos for 4 to 6 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
• While the nachos are in the oven, toss the cabbage with the rice vinegar.
• Serve with green onion and the seasoned cabbage sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook turkey, cabbage, carrot and onions in oil about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until turkey is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in chili paste. Mix wine and cornstarch; stir into turkey mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
• Heat oven to 375 degreesF. Cut stack of phyllo sheets crosswise in half. Cover with waxed paper, then with damp towel to prevent them from drying out. Place 1 half-sheet of phyllo on flat surface. Brush with small amount of oil. Top with second half-sheet of phyllo. Place about 2 tablespoons turkey mixture on short end of phyllo; shape mixture into about 4-inch log. Roll up phyllo and turkey mixture. Twist phyllo 1 inch from each end to make firecracker shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and turkey mixture.
• Brush firecrackers with remaining oil. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until phyllo is crisp and golden brown. Serve with sweet-and-sour sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey in the skillet until no longer pink; add the cabbage, carrots, and green onions and cook together until the vegetables are all slightly tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the chile paste through the vegetable mixture.
• Whisk the cornstarch into the white wine in a small bowl; add to the mixture in the skillet and continue cooking and stirring until the liquid in the skillet is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• Place one half sheet of phyllo dough on a flat surface, brush with a small amount of the vegetable oil, and top with a second sheet of phyllo. Place about 2 tablespoons of the turkey mixture on the short end of phyllo; shape mixture into about a four-inch log. Roll phyllo and turkey mixture. Twist the log about 1 inch from each end to make a firecracker shape; place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and mixture until all are used. Lightly brush the firecrackers with vegetable oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo dough is crisp and golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Serve with the sweet and sour sauce.
