Mussels And Pipis In Oyster Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put the canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ginger and saute for 1 minute, then add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes more. Add the chili paste, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth. Stir the ingredients to combine and bring to a simmer. Put the mussels in the pot and steam them with the lid on until the mussels have opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Pour the mussels with their sauce into a serving dish and garnish with the sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper, and saute until fragrant, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and tomato sauce, increase the heat to high, cover and bring to a boil.
• Add the mussels and replace the lid. Cook over high heat 3 minutes. Remove the lid and stir once gently. Continue to cook until the mussels are completely open and firmly cooked, about 4 minutes more.
• Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the mussels gently from the pot to a large bowl with a Chinese wire mesh skimmer. Return the pot to the heat and increase the heat to high. Boil for a minute or 2, until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon. Pour the sauce over the mussels and serve immediately.
• Place the canned tomatoes in a large bowl and place your (clean) hands in the bowl and crush the tomatoes so they breakup into a range of small pieces.
• In a 5-quart Dutch oven heat the olive oil over medium heat until it is fragrant, but before it smokes, about 40 seconds. Add the bay leaves and stir them in the oil until they begin to brown, about 10 seconds. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until it starts to turn golden brown, then add the onions, carrots, and oregano. Cook the vegetables until they are very brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally, just enough to prevent them from scorching.
• Add the crushed tomatoes with their juice, the tomato paste, salt and pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of water, (white wine or clam juice can be added depending on the intended use) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered until the sauce level has reduced by 2 or 3 inches and the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cook the sauce for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick.
• Remove from heat, cool down in the pot, then when at room temperature, transfer to a sealed plastic container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• This sauce will keep 10 days in a well-sealed container in the refrigerator.
• Using my recipe for basic Red Sauce, you can make a quick and spicy "fra diavolo" sauce that is delicious drizzled over grilled squid and other seafood. For equipment you will need a 3-quart saucepan and a wooden spoon.
• Heat the olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan slightly over medium heat and saute the garlic and crushed red pepper until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 40 seconds.
• Add the Red Sauce, clam juice, and salt, to taste, and simmer, stirring occasionally over medium-low heat, until the sauce returns to the thickness and quantity of the Red Sauce, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Place mussels in a large bowl with cold water to cover. Let them soak for about 20 minutes to remove any dirt or sand.
• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-low heat. Add garlic, and saute for one minute, but do not brown. Add the chopped green onion and tomatoes, and cook until almost tender. Pour in the white wine, and stir in the parsley and butter. Bring to a boil, and allow to boil until the liquid has reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the mussels to the pot, cover and allow to cook until the shells are opened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the mussels and sauce to a large serving bowl, discarding any unopened shells. Bon appetit!

Steps:

• Prepare the shellfish first by scrubbing shells.
• Steam the shellfish just enough so that the shells become open.
• Strain the liquid from steaming and cool in the refrigerator.
• Remove the meat from the shells.
• Put all the ingredients (except the bay leaves and lemon) in a large pan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Leave to cool.
• Pack the cooled meat into sterilized jars, adding a bay leaf, some cloves and a slice of lemon to each jar.
• Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the meat to cover.
• Seal firmly and store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat a wok and add about a centimetre of water to cover the bottom.
• Add the mussels and pipis and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
• Steam for a few minutes and remove shellfish to a bowl as they open.
• With all mussels and pipis out of the wok, add the oyster sauce, palm sugar, a few drops of sesame oil, ginger and spring onions.
• Cook for a few minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the flavours have mingled.
• Check the sauce for saltiness, adding more oyster sauce or, if too salty, a little water.
• Toss the mussels and pipis back in the wok and add the coriander and a sprinkle of pepper.
• Serve in individual bowls with rice or fine egg noodles.
