Homemade Delicious Schezwan Sauce

This is my version of the Schezwan sauce or as some refer to as chutney, a famous and much sought sauce of Chinese cuisine. This sauce is famous for street food's like, momo's chinese bhel, chicken lollipops, spring rolls, fried rice , stir fried veggies, chicken & noodles etc. This can be used as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or any other starters.
To make this, have used dry Kashmiri red chillies and since they are less spicy compared with other variety of chillies,  to bring down the spiciness of this fiery sauce also to give it an awesome color. However, you can use combination of any dry spicy chillies of your liking. But I would suggest that you use more of Kashmiri red chillies in making this sauce. You must definitely try this mouth watering Homemade Delicious Szechwan Sauce which is  also preservatives and color free.
Ingredients
1/3 cup Sesame Oil
15 + 15 Cloves Garlic - finely chopped
20 Dry Kashmiri Red Chilies
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
1/4 Cup Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Tomato ketchup
2 Tablespoons Hot Chilli Garlic Sauce
1 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Chinese Salt / Ajinomoto  - optional

Method
Soak the red chilles in 1/4 cup vinegar and boiled water for an hour or two.  If you do have time to soak them  then boil them till they soften.  When cooled de-seed them.  
Grind the chillies with 15 garlic cloves and soy sauce to a fine paste without adding any water.   If required add a tablespoon of vinegar to grind it.
Heat oil in a pan, add garlic, saute for a second only, do not brown the garlic.  Add the ground paste with the remaining ingredients. Saute on a low flame till it comes to a boil. Taste for salt and sugar add accordingly to your taste.
Switch off the flame and let it cool. Once the sauce has completely cooled down, transfer to an airtight container/ sterilized bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 15 days with an inch layer of oil on top or better still freeze it since it does not turn hard and icy. There is not need to thaw each time you want to use, just slice a part of it with a knife and use accordingly.
My Notes :
I have not added ajinomoto  in the sauce.
You can use vegetable oil if you do not have sesame oil, the only difference is that sesame oil gives a nice nutty flavor to the sauce.

Chinese Veg Bao Buns # BreadBakers

When I made the event page for Steamed Buns for Bread Baker this month, was so excited to make  them.  But, every time, I, planned to make it something or the other would crop up and it was kept on the side burner. Just made them yesterday after seeing so many of you posting the links. 
At last they were done and these Bao buns, they were a hit, we enjoyed them hot for dinner minus any extra trimmings. 
I, had eaten these Chicken filled Bao buns in a Chinese restaurant in Mumbai and in Spain at a food event enjoyed delicious Pork Buns  there - fell in love with them, they were on my do to list for long time.  
My first thought was to make a chicken filled bao buns, but then thought of my hubby dear who has not tasted these beautiful buns, so made them vegetarian and as already mentioned above they were worth the effort.    Thanks to Bread Bakers group who gives me a chance to create new, delicious  and innovative bread recipes every month. 

Makes - 7 Buns
Ingredients
For the dough
150 Grams All Purpose Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
2 Teaspoons Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Rapid Rising Yeast
1 Teaspoon Sugar
75  to 100 Ml  Warm Water
For the topping
Chilly flakes as required
Black Sesame seeds as required

For the Filling
1 Tablespoon Oil
1 Teaspoon Ginger - finely chopped

1 Teaspoon Chilly sauce
1 Tablespoon Tomato Ketchup
1 Teaspoon Chilly Powder
3 Basil leaves - chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Vinegar

For applying - Sweet Chilly sauce as required

Method 
For the dough
Make a smooth soft dough by adding little water at a time to make the dough.  Keep it covered till it doubles in size. 
Deflate the dough and divide the dough into small balls and knead with dry flour or a oiled surface
to make small thick oblong or round circle, apply oil well on the circle.
Place a oiled parchement paper or use banana leaf as I have done and fold lightly. 
Apply oil on outer sides too sprinkle black or white sesame seeds  and  chilly flakes on both sides.  
Place a on a foil or banana leaf that is  greased well with oil in a steamer and steam on high flame well for 15 minutes. I used the Idli stand to steam the buns.

In the meanwhile let's prepare the filling.
Heat a pan with oil and  add add the sauces, ketchup, chilly powder. salt and mix it well then add the paneer sticks and toss it well coated and the sauces start bubbling, now add all the  veggies just toss everything well do not overcook they should be crunchy. Stuffing is ready

Di San Xian - Vegetarian


Di San Xian (or more accurately read as 'dee sun sen') is a delicious vegetarian dish from Dongbei (north east China). The name Di San Xian is translated as 'earth three fresh'.


When I, was looking to the dishes list in wiki list, found this name, looked through the recipe was happy to read through this easy Chinese dish.The only thing I added more was chilly flakes to make it lightly spicy otherwise made it exactly as given. Also did not add light soy sauce since its not available here. Instead I added 3 teaspoon dark soy sauce.

Recipe Source here

Ingredients
1 Large Aubergine / Brinjal
2 - 3 Medium potato
1 Large Green Capsicum
1 Cup Oil for frying
2 large Clove Garlic
4 Stalks of Spring onion (scallion), use only the white part
2 Teaspoon Light Soy sauce - I did not add
2 Teaspoon Dark Soy sauce
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
1 Cube of Vegetarian Soup cube
1 Teaspoon Cornflour -mix with 2 tablespoons water

Method

Cut potatoes into thin wedges. 

Cut aubergine into thick wedges, remember it will shrink after cooking. Cut just before cooking to prevent browning or straight after frying the potatoes. Do not rinse or salt the aubergine.  

Cut capsicum  into thick wedges. 

Chop garlic and spring onion. 

Heat oil in work till hot then put in potatoes and fry till light golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
Fry the aubergine in the same oil at high heat. The aubergine will absorb a lot of the oil at first. When the pieces become golden brown, most of the absorbed oil is released. Fry till golden and soft. Remove and drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
Fry the capsicum briefly for about 1 - 2 minutes on high heat. Remove and drain on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
Remove all the oil,  reserve only a tablespoon  of oil in wok, add in the garlic and spring onion, fry at medium heat till light golden.
Add in  water and cubes when the cube dissolves, add the both soy sauces and, chilly flakes and sugar.
When the liquid is boiling, add in all the vegetables. Stir briefly then thicken with  cornflour paste on high heat and reduce the sauce to almost dry and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.  Take off flame and  serve.

Manchow Soup: Indo - Chinese Food

March 31, 2014



Indian-Chinese food is very popular in India, and is my favorite. I enjoying watching the street side food joint cooking noodles, fried rice,soups etc., in a wok over high flame.  In India we have adapted seasonings and cooking techniques of Chinese cuisine to our taste and style.  Here is a vegetarian version for Manchow Soup. This soup is  transparent and you can see all the vegetables. This soup thickens because of cornflour; no cream is added to it. Since soup is my dinner, I make it even more healthy by not adding fried noodles or boiled noodles to it. Its not that I do not eat noodles, love them but avoid them in my night dinner. Also, I have not add mono sodium glutamate (MSG) or ajinomoto in my soup. If you like MSG add it in your bowl of soup about 1/4 teaspoon).

Ingredients
1 Teaspoon chilli oil
1 Teaspoon Coriander chopped
1 Teaspoon Spring Onion Whites, chopped
1 Teaspoon Garlic, chopped finely
1 Teaspoon Ginger, grated
1/4 Cup Assorted Vegetables, finely chopped
2 Cups Vegetable Stock or 2 cubes of vegetable soup mixed in 2 cups water
1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
1/4 Teaspoon Chili Sauce
Salt, Sugar, Black Pepper Powder to taste 
1 Teaspoon Cornflour
1/2 teaspoon Vinegar 

For garnishing
Spring Onion Greens, chopped
Chili Oil
Crispy Noodles

I used vegetables- 2 French beans, 1/2 a Carrot, 1Capsicum, 2 leaves of Cabbage and 3 tablespoons sweet corn kernels. I just put all the vegetables except the corn in the chopper and chopped them finely. They get cooked faster and the soup is easy to make. I even chop the white of the spring onions, ginger and garlic in the chopper.  These gadgets make our cooking a lot easier and less tiresome.

To make
Chili oil
Heat 1/4 cup  oil in a pan on high flame till smoking point, add to it 5-6 broken dry red chilies & switch off heat. Allow to cool. Strain use this ‘chili oil’ as and when required.  This oil does not turn rancid for 2 to 3 weeks.
Crispy Noodles
Boil a packet of Chinese noodles along with a tsp of oil & salt until just about 50% cooked. Let it drain completely on the strainer & spread them on dry cloth & let them dry for 15-20 mins. Then sprinkle some corn flour over them and deep fry in hot oil till just about golden-brown & crispy. Drain on absorbent paper & allow to cool. Use it to garnish soups or eat it as a snack. Can be stored in airtight container for a week. ( This I avoided to make the soup healthy). You can avoid this process totally, now in the stores fried noodles are available.

Method
Heat oil in wok on high flame, then add spring onion whites, garlic,ginger ,coriander, sauté few seconds & add the vegetables stir fry 2 minutes. Add vegetable stock, soy sauce, chili sauce, mix well, add salt, sugar and  black pepper powder to your taste let it boil.  Then add the cornflour paste ( mix cornflour in 2 tablespoon water ) and  cook, stirring continuously till it thickens. Finally add vinegar, mix & remove from heat.  Transfer to bowl, sprinkle chili oil on it, garnish with spring onion greens and crispy noodles, serve hot.  As I am writing this post, am enjoying the bowl of  Manchow Soup.  Do try this recipe and post your comments.
