Steps:

• Finely grate the ginger, collect it up into a ball and squeeze out the juice into a bowl.
• Stir in the other ingredients and use as required.

Steps:

• Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and use as directed in the recipe or for other foods.

Steps:

• In heavy duty freezer bag, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oil, garlic, sugar and red pepper flakes.
• Add meat and stir stir to coat all over.
• Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 to 3 hours, turning bag over occasionally.
• Remove meat, reserving marinade, and cook meat until desired doneness.
• Meanwhile pour marinade from bag into saucepan.
• Rinse bag with the 1/2 cup of water.
• Add water to saucepan.
• Bring to a low boil.
• Boil slowly for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Right before meat is ready to serve, add butter to saucepan.
• Heat through.
• Slice meat thinly, and pour sauce over meat.
• Top with green onions.
• Serve over rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Heat a small, dry saucepan. When the saucepan is hot, add the Szechuan peppercorns and, shaking the pan constantly, toast until the peppercorns are fragrant. Remove from the heat. Place the peppercorns in a spice grinder and grind. Season the chicken pieces with the peppercorns and salt and set aside. Heat a large wok over high heat. When the wok is hot, add the oil. Add the ginger, garlic and onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, broccoli, peppers, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, sherry and chile paste. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked, but al dente, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions and stir-fry for 1 more minute.

Steps:

• Chicken: Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt. In a zip-top bag, add cornstarch, followed by the chicken. Close the bag and shake to coat chicken pieces evenly; then set aside. (This can be done several hours ahead and up to overnight; the longer the chicken is in the cornstarch, the thicker the crust.)
• Sauce: Into a bowl, add hoisin sauce, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, tomato paste, and chile-garlic sauce. Stir to combine. Set aside.
• Chinese mirepoix: Thinly slice scallions on the bias, using the white and pale green sections, and just a bit of the dark green. (Reserve remaining scallion greens for another use.) Set aside ¼ of the sliced scallions for garnish. Peel, then smash garlic with the flat side of a knife, and coarsely chop. Scrape off ginger skin using a spoon, then grate using a Microplane.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, cut the yellow pepper: remove the white inner ribs and discard; cut the rest of the pepper into a large dice. Check oil temperature with a wooden chopstick: it should bubble immediately. Remove chicken from the bag, shaking off excess cornstarch, and carefully place into the hot oil in a single layer. Let fry undisturbed until cooked through and very crisp for a total of 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Meanwhile, zest the orange and lemon.
• When chicken is cooked and crispy, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off and discard all but 2 tablespoons oil; rinse out and dry the pan. Reheat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add dried chiles and sauté until they darken and begin to smoke, about 1 minute. Add scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stir to combine. Add yellow peppers and cook 1 minute, tossing to combine, then add the sauce. Stir and cook 1 more minute, adding 1-2 tablespoons water as needed if the sauce is too thick. Add chicken and toss to coat and combine. Finally, shower with lemon and orange zest and give the contents a final stir. Taste for seasoning.
• Assembly: Place rice in a bowl. Spoon chicken and sauce over rice, including a good mix of vegetables and chiles along with the chicken. Garnish with reserved sliced scallions, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add tenderloins and stir to coat all over.
• Seal and refrigerate at least 1 to 3 hours, turning bag over occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 500°F.

• Spray a cooling or cooking rack with nonstick spray, and place on top of pan.
• Place tenderloins on rack.
• SAVE MARINADE.
• Place meat in preheated oven.
• Roast 9 to 10 minutes.
• Turn and roast 9 to 10 minutes more.
• Check temperature in thickest part of meat.
• It should read approx 160°F.
• Remove from oven, and allow meat to stand 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile pour marinade from bag into saucepan.
• Rinse the bag with the 1/2 cup of water.
• Add to saucepan.
• Bring to low boil.
• Boil slowly for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Right before ready to serve, add butter to sauce; stir.
• Slice meat into 1/4 inch slices.
• Place on hot rice.
• Spoon marinade sauce over meat and rice.
• Top with green onions.
• Note: This can be cooked on the grill also.
• Cook until temperature reaches 150 to 160°F.
• You can also cook in oven for 6 minutes each side, and then toss on a gas grill for a few minutes for a outdoor flavor.

Steps:

• Combine water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce and sugar until sugar dissolves.
• Add sesame oil, garlic, and scallion. Stir well.
• Poke several holes in each chicken breast so they can soak up the marinade.
• Place marinade and chicken in large plastic baggie, remove air, and shake to coat chicken in marinade.
• Refrigerate 3 1/2 hours, turning the bag about every half hour to redistribute the marinade.
• Prepare an indirect fire on a charcoal or gas grill (this is when you grill the meat, but not directly over the heat source, I used the 2nd rack near the top of my gas grill).
• Grill chicken, turning about every 5 minutes, until cooked through. Cooking times will vary depending on your cooking conditions. It took me about 25 minutes.
• ENJOY.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except pork, in a bowl and mix well.
• Coat pork in mixture. I store mine in quart sized zipper bags, 2-3 chops per bag.
• Let pork marinade in refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. I marinate for 24 hours.
• Cook outdoors on grill until done. On my grill that's 4-5 minutes per side.
• They also cook well indoors on a contact type grill. I generally cook for 5-6 minutes indoors.
• Pork filled bags may be frozen with marinade and thawed to cook later.
• **Note - Marinating time is not included in my "time to Make".
