Gingerlemongrasscrmebrule Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Place ginger and the lemongrass into a medium saucepan.
• Add the heavy cream and simmer gently for 25 minutes to infuse the flavours.
• Remove the infusion from the stove and strain through a fine sieve.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together the yolks, the sugar the lemon extract and the bitters.
• Slowly mix in the heavy cream infusion.
• Pour into ramekins or an oven casserole dish. Remove any foam from the top of mixture with a teaspoon.
• Place ramekins into a large casserole dish and pour hot water until the level is halfway up the sides of the ramekin dish. Put into oven and bake until the custard is firm (the center should jiggle just a little when you shake it) approximately 40 -50 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and completely cool before you cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• To serve.
• Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar and using a blow torch caramelize the sugar. The oven broiler can be used in place of the torch.
• Place the ramekins in a tray of cold water and ice and leave in the broiler for 3-5 minutes--just enough to caramelize the sugar.
• Variations: 1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel can be substituted for the lemon grass.

Steps:

• Baste the mushrooms with Asian Baste on the gill side of the mushroom. Then, spread 1 tablespoon of Ginger-Lemongrass Puree over the Asian Baste.
• In a saucepot, boil water. Place asparagus into the water for 1 minute, then put the asparagus into cold water to stop the cooking process. They should still be crisp.
• On an oiled griddle on medium high heat place 6 Coconut Rice Cakes, and 6 mushroom caps basted side up. Brown the coconut cakes on both sides. Cook mushrooms on 1 side, then transfer to a sheet pan and brown under the broiler until the ginger-lemongrass is golden brown and bubbly.
• In a hot saute pan over high heat saute the leeks, carrots, red onion and celery for 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and the mirin rice wine and cook for 30 seconds. Then remove from the heat.
• On your plate, take the Cilantro Pesto in the squeeze bottle and make some zig zag designs for garnish. Fan out 6 asparagus on the plate. Then place the rice cake on the top of the asparagus, the vegetables on top of the rice. Then the mushroom on top of the vegetables and finally a dollop of tomato jam to create a layered effect.
• Place all the ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.
• Place all the ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Then put the pesto into a plastic squeeze bottle and make patterns on your serving plate for a fun garnish.
• In a saucepan over medium high heat, saute onions for 2 minutes. Add the chile flakes, tomato, ginger, water, sugar, vinegar, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat to a low simmer for about 20 minutes, until the sauce reaches a jam consistency. Chill in refrigerator before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In an oven safe sauce pot over medium high heat combine the rice, coconut milk, water, 1/4 cup coconut flakes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, place in the oven, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
• In an oiled half sheet pan, spread the cooked rice on the bottom about 1-inch thick. You may need to leave some open space in the pan. Sprinkle with remaining coconut flakes and sesame seeds. Cover with parchment paper and take another half sheet pan and press down on the rice to squeeze out any air bubbles.
• Chill and then cut into squares.
• Place all the ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.

Steps:

• Mix egg yolks, eggs and 6 ounces of sugar until combined. Heat the cream to scalding, add ginger and gradually pour into egg mixture, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and salt.
• Using creme brulee molds or another baking ramekin evenly distribute mixture. Place in a shallow baking dish and fill dish half way up with water, creating a water bath.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes or until set. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of molds after they have cooled. Place molds under broiler to caramelize sugar. Garnish with mint leaves.

Steps:

• Make custard:
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Place three 4-inch-diameter fluted flan dishes* in each of two 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pans or place six 3/4-cup ramekins in 1 pan. Mix cream, sugar and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Using small sharp knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean. Add seeds and bean to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Cover pan, reduce heat to very low and simmer gently 10 minutes to infuse flavors. Strain into large measuring cup.
• Whisk yolks in medium bowl until well blended. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture just to blend. Return custard to measuring cup; divide among dishes. Pour enough hot water into pans to come halfway up sides of dishes. Carefully transfer pans to oven.
• Bake custards until almost set in center when pans are gently shaken, about 30 minutes for fluted flan dishes and 35 minutes for ramekins. Using metal spatula, transfer custards in dishes to work surface; cool 30 minutes. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
• Make Crème Brûlée:
• Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over each custard. Working with 1 custard at a time, hold blowtorch** so that flame is 2 inches above surface. Direct flame so that sugar melts and browns, about 2 minutes.
• Refrigerate until custards are firm again but topping is still brittle, at least 2 hours but no longer than 4 hours so that topping doesn't soften. Garnish crème brûlées with fruit.
• *Four-inch-diameter fluted clear glass flan dishes are available at cookware stores and many hardware stores. They are about 2/3 inch deep and hold about 1/2 cup liquid.
• **Available at some cookware stores.

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
• Add the cream, liqueur, gingerroot, and chiles.
• Place the mixture in the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water.
• Stir constantly for 30 to 45 minutes or until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Remove the custard from heat and strain into a large, clean bowl.
• The custard will thicken as it cools. Chill for a least 2 hours or overnight; divide among 6 5-oz custard cups.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of sugar over each custard and caramelize with brulee torch or under broiler. Place in refrigerator and chill for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine cream and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes. Strain cream into small bowl, pressing on solids in sieve. Whisk yolks and 1 cup sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in warm cream. Divide custard among eight 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in large roasting pan. Pour enough warm water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins.
• Bake custards just until set in center when pan is gently shaken, about 45 minutes. Remove custards from water bath; chill uncovered until cold, at least 3 hours. Cover and chill overnight.
• Preheat broiler. Place custards on baking sheet. Sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of remaining sugar. Broil until sugar melts and caramelizes, turning sheet for even browning, about 1 minute. Refrigerate custards until topping is cold and brittle, about 1 hour and up to 2 hours. Garnish custards with strawberries and mint and serve.
