Categories     Crab

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 package zatarain's jambalaya mix
2 1/2 cups water
1 lb crab, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup bamboo shoot
1/4 cup water chestnut, sliced
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup snow peas
1/4 cup white onion, diced
1/3 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup cabbage, shredded
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil
4 -6 tomatoes, depending on size and preference
1/4 cup pecans or 1/4 cup peanuts, for a crunchier version (I prefer cashews) (optional)
other meat (beef, chicken, duck, game, pork or other types of seafood can be substituted in the recipe) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook Zatarain's Jambalaya Mix according to package instructions, omitting the meat.
  • Reserve.
  • Heat oil in a wok.
  • Add crab and cook until done.
  • Add all the vegetables and lightly stir fry leaving vegetables crisp.
  • Add the tomatoes.
  • Do not overcook.
  • Add soy sauce, pepper, and pecans and mix well.
  • Add cooked Jambalaya, stir to mix well and cook until rice is hot.
  • Can be served as an entree or side dish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your jambalaya. When possible, use locally-sourced and organic produce.
  • Don't skimp on the seasoning: Jambalaya is a dish that relies heavily on spices for its flavor. Be generous with the Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic, and onion.
  • Cook the rice separately: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy. Cook the rice according to the package directions, then set it aside and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the jambalaya.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're using a small pan, cook the jambalaya in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the sauce.

Conclusion:

Chinese Jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With its bold flavors and vibrant colors, Chinese Jambalaya is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
