Mongolian Shrimp Recipe Recipe 37

Steps:

• This is an easy and delicious recipe for Mongolian shrimp. Mongolian shrimp is a Chinese dish that is both spicy and sweet. The spice in this recipe comes from crushed red pepper flakes, so you can adjust the amount to your taste. The shrimp can either be stir-fried in the pan or cooked in the deep fryer. I prefer to use the deep fryer because it leaves the shrimp nice and crispy. The sauce in this recipe is very easy to prepare and consists of soy sauce, water, and rice wine. Garlic and ginger is added into the mixture to give this dish even more delicious flavor. This Mongolian shrimp recipe goes great served with egg rolls and brown or white rice. Enjoy. In a large bowl or sealable shaker bag, toss the shrimp with cornstarch. In a large wok or skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add green onions and stir fry for 1 minute. Remove from the wok and set aside. Add a little more oil if needed. Add shrimp and stir-fry in batches (adding more oil if needed), until the shrimp has turned opaque and is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees). The shrimp should take about 5 minutes per batch to cook. Remove from the wok and set aside. Add a little more oil to the wok, add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry until fragrant (about 15 seconds), be careful not the burn them. Add water, soy sauce, rice wine, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer stirring constantly for about 5-6 minutes. (Makes 4 Servings)

Steps:

• Spread the flank steak out flat, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer until partially frozen, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove beef from the freezer and slice across the grain into very thin slices.
• Whisk the chicken stock and cornstarch in a freezer-safe bowl until smooth; whisk in the hot chili oil, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Place the beef into the sauce, stir to coat well. Cover and freeze until frozen, about 1 hour.
• Remove from the freezer and allow to defrost, about 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok over high heat until very hot, and pour in the peanut oil. Immediately add garlic, cook and stir in the hot oil until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Mix in the Swiss chard and green onions; cook and stir the vegetables until they turn bright green, about 3 minutes, and then remove from the wok.
• Pour the defrosted beef mixture into the hot wok; cook and stir until the meat browns and the sauce forms a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the cooked vegetables to the wok, sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix to combine well; serve hot.

Steps:

• Place the chili powder, fennel seeds, cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick into a shallow pan.
• Dry-fry for 1-2 mins to release the flavour. Cool then crush the spices to a powder in a plastic bag using a rolling pin.
• Heat the oil in a shallow pan; cook the garlic, ginger and onion for 2-3 minutes Add the spices. Cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the vinegar, sugar, shrimp and seasoning. Cover and cook for about 5 mins or until shrimp are pink in colour.
• Garnish with cilantro leaves and eat hot with your fingers.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken and red snapper filets into thin slices. Rinse the shrimp under warm running water and cut in half lengthwise.
• Wash and shred the Napa cabbage and spinach. Soak the bean thread noodles in hot water until softened.
• Place the sliced chicken, shrimp, red snapper and the shredded vegetables on separate platters on the table. Place the dipping sauces on the table in small individual bowls. Make sure each guest has a complete place setting, including a dipping fork (color-coded if possible) and a small bowl for placing the cooked food.
• On the stove, bring the broth and water with the rice wine to a boil, and add the ginger and green onion. Transfer enough broth to the fondue pot or hot pot so that the pot is approximately 2/3 - 3/4 full. (How much broth you need will depend on the size of the pot). Place the pot on the burner, and keep it simmering throughout the meal. Keep the remaining broth warming on the stovetop.
• To serve, invite guests to spear the food with a dipping fork and cook briefly in the broth until cooked, then dip the cooked food in the sauces as desired.
• Use a dipping basket to cook the vegetables in batches in the hot broth and ladle out into the soup bowls.
• Serve with hot steamed rice.
