Shrimp Dumplings - Asian fare

Shrimp Dumplings 

1 egg white, lightly whipped 
¾ lb raw shrimp, finely chopped 
1 ½ scallion, finely chopped 
1 ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon rice wine or rice vinegar
½ teaspoon sesame oil 
½ teaspoon sweet chili sauce 
½ teaspoon Szechuan sauce
Dumpling wraps 

Add all ingredients to lightly whipped egg white stirring for about 1 minute. Should be slightly thick. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Place ½ teaspoon in middle of dumpling and wet edges of dumplings to seal. Boil the dumplings in water in batches of 3 to 5. Will flip rapidly when done.

Crab Fried Rice - Asian fare

1 ⅔ cups raw jasmine rice or 4 ½ cups leftover cooked rice 
¼ cup peanut or vegetable oil 
1 large onion, sliced 
2 scallions, cut into 1 inch lengths, plus thinly sliced scallion greens for garnish 
6 cloves garlic, minced 
3 eggs, lightly beaten 
¼ cup soy sauce 
1 large beefsteak tomato, seeded and cut into wedges
1 (8 ounce) container lump crabmeat (1 ½ cups), drained 
Kosher salt and ground white pepper
Chili oil, for drizzling
Fresh cilantro for garnish 




Cook the rice 2 minutes less than the package directions so it is al dente. Spread the rice on a baking sheet to cool quickly and prevent it from overcooking and getting mushy. (If you’re using cold leftover rice, put it in a bowl or on a rimmed baking sheet and break it up so it’s not in huge clumps.)
In a large wok or very large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add the onion and cook until just soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the scallions and garlic and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the eggs, letting them sit and cook for 20 seconds until partially set, then add the rice and soy sauce, mixing everything together and breaking up the eggs as you do. Cook, stirring, until the rice is hot. Add the tomato and crab and cook until warmed through or 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Drizzle with chili oil to taste and garnish with scallion greens and cilantro. 


CHEF TIPS:
  • SEEDING A TOMATO: Cut the tomatoes into quarters and scoop out the juicy insides with your fingers. 

Kung Pao Shrimp - Asian fare

Can substitute plain rice vinegar for black rice vinegar (available in Asian markets), but I prefer the latter for its fruity, salty complexity. If you prefer, roasted unsalted cashews over peanuts, substitute an equal amount. Do not eat the whole chiles in the finished dish. 


1 lb extra-large shrimp (21 to 25 count, peeled and deveined 
1 Tablespoon dry sherry or rice wine 
2 teaspoons soy sauce 
3 medium garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press or minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 piece (½ inch) fresh ginger, peeled and minced (about 2 teaspoons)
3 Tablespoons peanut for vegetable oil
½ cup roasted unsalted peanuts
6 small whole dried red chiles (about 1 ¾ to 2 inches long each), 3 chiles roughly crumbled or 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
¾ cup canned low-sodium chicken broth 
2 teaspoons black rice vinegar or plain rice vinegar 
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 Tablespoon oyster-flavored sauce 
1 Tablespoon hoisin sauce 
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into ½ inch dice 
3 medium scallions, sliced thin


Toss shrimp with sherry and soy sauce in medium bowl; marinate until shrimp have absorbed flavors, about 10 minutes. Mix garlic, ginger, and 1 Tablespoon  oil in small bowl; set aside. Combine peanuts and chiles in small bowl; set aside. Mix chicken broth, vinegar, sesame oil, oyster-flavored sauce, hoisin sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl or measuring cup; set aside. 
Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in 12-inch skillet over high heat until just beginning to smoke. Add shrimp and cook, stirring about once every 10 seconds, until barely opaque, 30 to 40 seconds. Add peanuts and chiles, stir into shrimp, and continue cooking until shrimp are almost completely opaque and peanuts have darkened slightly; 30-40 seconds longer. Transfer shrimp, peanuts and chiles to bowl and set aside. Return skillet to burner and reheat briefly; 15-30 seconds. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, swirl to coat pan, and add red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened; about 45 seconds. Clear center of pan, add garlic-ginger mixture, mash into pan with spoon or spatula and cook until fragrant; 10-15 seconds; stir into peppers until combined. 

Stir broth mixture to recombine, then add to skillet along with reserved shrimp, peanuts, and chiles; cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan, until sauce has thickened to syrupy consistency, about 45 seconds. Stir in scallions; transfer to serving plate and serve immediately.
