ASPARAGUS NAPOLEONS WITH ORIENTAL BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Asparagus Napoleons with Oriental Black Bean Sauce image

Categories     Ginger     Vegetable     Asparagus     Spring     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the pastry rectangles
1/2 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 2 teaspoons water
For the sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Scotch or medium-dry Sherry
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fermented black beans (available at Oriental markets and specialty foods shops), rinsed well and drained
2 tablespoons fine julienne strips of orange zest
1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and peeled

Steps:

  • Make the pastry rectangles:
  • Roll out the pastry 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, cut out six 5- by 2-inch rectangles, and transfer them to a dampened baking sheet. Brush the tops of the rectangles with some of the egg wash, being careful not to let the egg wash drip down the sides, score them in a crosshatch pattern with the back of a paring knife, and brush them again with some to the remaining egg wash. Bake the rectangles in the upper third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden, transfer them with a spatula to racks, and let them cool. The pastry rectangles may be made 1 day in advance, kept in an airtight container at room temperature, and reheated. Halve the rectangles horizontally with a serrated knife and with a fork pull out carefully any uncooked dough.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the water and stir in the broth, the soy sauce, the Scotch, and the sugar. In a heavy saucepan heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it stir-fry the beans, the zest, the gingerroot, and the garlic for 1 minute, or until the mixture is very fragrant. Stir the broth mixture and add it to the bean mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, simmer it for 2 minutes, and keep it warm. The sauce may be made 1 day in advance, kept covered and chilled, and reheated.
  • In a large deep skillet of boiling salted water cook the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the stalks are just tender but not limp, and drain it well. Arrange the bottom half of each pastry rectangle on a plate and divide the asparagus among the pastries. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus and around the pastries on each plate and top the asparagus with the top halves of the pastries.

CHINESE BEEF AND ASPARAGUS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Chinese Beef and Asparagus With Black Bean Sauce image

The second of my three favorite Chinese recipes, adapted from The Frugal Gourmet. Since I don't like CRISP asparagus that tastes like grass to me, I make below the suggestion that you steam the asparagus briefly. I serve this over rice but it'd be good over noodles too.

Provided by BarbryT

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs asparagus
1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly across the grain
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons dry sherry or 3 tablespoons chinese rice wine
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 -3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Prepare the asparagus by washing, breaking the stem at the "natural" break point and slice diagonally into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
  • (OPTIONAL: Steam the asparagus pieces for 3-4 minutes.) Put aside.
  • Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl (soy sauce, ginger, sherry and cornstarch) then add the sliced meat. Mix well and let sit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally if you wish.
  • Head a wok or large frying pan, add the oil. When it is is just beginning to smoke, add the meat, laying each piece on one side in the pan, Do not turn but cook over high heat for a moment, until the one side begins to brown. Toss-stir the meat for a moment and remove from the pan, allowing the oil to drain back into the pan. You may want to do this in two batches to keep the meat sizzling.
  • Heat the pan to hot again and add the garlic. Stir-fry for a minute then add the rinsed, chopped black beans and stirfry another bit. Add the asparagus, toss with the vegetables then add the other T of soy sauce and the pinches of sugar and salt. Stirfy until the asparagus is done to your liking (probably about 5 minutes if you didn't steam it first; less if you did).
  • Add the meat and its drippings and the chicken broth. Stir to make a sauce, then serve.

TURMERIC-BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN WITH ASPARAGUS



Turmeric-Black Pepper Chicken With Asparagus image

In this sweet and spicy stir-fry, black pepper, honey and rice vinegar help accentuate turmeric's delightfully earthy qualities. Thinly sliced asparagus doesn't need much time to cook, but feel free to swap with any other vegetables that cook in just a few minutes, like thinly sliced green beans, frozen peas or baby spinach. Serve this with rice or rice vermicelli noodles, or tuck it into a lettuce cup or pita with yogurt and fresh herbs. You could also trade the chicken for tofu, shrimp or cubed pork shoulder.

ORIENTAL BLACK BEAN AND GARLIC SAUCE FOR ASPARAGUS



Oriental Black Bean and Garlic Sauce for Asparagus image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Bean     Garlic     Ginger     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons fermented black beans (available at Oriental markets and specialty foods shops), rinsed, drained well, and crushed slightly
1 1/2 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat and in it stir-fry the garlic, the gingerroot, and the red bell pepper until the pepper is softened. Add the beans and stir-fry the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the Sherry and boil the mixture for 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce, the sugar, and the broth and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in 2 teaspoons cold water, whisk it into the mixture, and simmer the sauce until it is thickened slightly. Add black pepper to taste and serve the sauce over asparagus.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for asparagus that is bright green and firm, and chicken that is free-range and organic.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked asparagus will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use a good-quality black bean sauce: The black bean sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure you use a good-quality brand. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and savory taste.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The asparagus will start to lose its crispness if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Asparagus chicken with black bean sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a healthy choice, as it is packed with vegetables and lean protein. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more flavorful and delicious.
