CHINESE STYLE BROTH



Chinese Style Broth image

I have been looking for a good recipe for a good chinese broth like the one served in a local restaurant. They add spinach and bean curd (tofu) and I just love it. I hope this is what I am looking for. I guess you could add any number of things, chinese vegies, wontons, use it as an eggdrop soup base, whatever. I haven't tried it yet, just placing it here for safe keeping. I'll update when I do try it and let you know what I think, good or bad.

CHINESE-STYLE BARBECUED RIBS



Chinese-Style Barbecued Ribs image

These are the best oven-roasted ribs ever, and they can also be finished on a grill for extra smoky flavor. Creating steam in the oven is the key to tender meat. The ingredients here are close to the ones used by traditional Cantonese barbecue masters to produce sticky-salty-sweet meat that has a reddish, caramelized crust - with ketchup standing in for Chinese red fermented tofu. (It can be left out if desired.) Although these ribs are presented as an appetizer in many American Chinese restaurants, barbecued meat is traditionally a main course, served with freshly cooked rice and a green side like smashed cucumber salad or stir-fried bok choy.

Time 6h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
4 scallions, white and pale green parts only, plus additional sliced scallion for garnish
3/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup ketchup, or 4 tablespoons tomato paste or Chinese red bean paste (nan ru)
1/4 cup honey or light corn syrup, more to taste
1/4 cup soy sauce, more to taste
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine or vodka
1/4 cup rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
2 racks baby back or St. Louis-style pork spareribs, 5 to 10 pounds total (see note)
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, mince garlic and scallions. Add hoisin, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, rice wine or vodka, rice vinegar and five-spice powder. Process until well blended. Taste for sweetness; the mixture should be sweet like barbecue sauce, not candy. Adjust the taste with honey, soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Set aside 1/3 cup marinade for basting. Transfer remaining marinade to a container or pan large enough to hold the ribs, or to large resealable plastic bags. Add ribs and turn until well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days, turning occasionally in the marinade.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Set up a rimmed baking sheet (or two) with an oven-safe wire rack that fits inside, the kind you'd use for cooling cookies. Line the bottoms of the pans with foil or nonstick baking mats. Place the racks inside the pans and place the empty pans on the bottom rack of the oven. Pour in hot water until it comes about halfway up the sides of the pan. (Do not skip the water: The steam helps cook the meat to the right tenderness.)
  • When the oven is hot, remove the ribs from the marinade and place on the racks, meaty side up. Bake without basting, 1 hour for baby back ribs, 2 hours for St. Louis style ribs. Check the water level occasionally to make sure it hasn't cooked off.
  • Remove ribs from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pour off any water from the baking sheet and return the ribs to the racks. (Alternatively, you can finish the ribs on a medium-hot grill; see below.)
  • Return ribs to the oven and roast (or grill), basting 2 or 3 times with reserved marinade, for 20 to 30 minutes (less time for baby backs, more for spareribs). Watch the ribs carefully to make sure that the edges don't burn, and don't baste them too close to the end; they should be dry and sticky, not wet on the surface.
  • Use a big knife to cut between the bones, making sure that each rib has meat on both sides. Mound on a platter, sprinkle with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: To achieve an authentic Chinese-style broth, prioritize using fresh, flavorful ingredients. Opt for high-quality vegetables, select cuts of meat, and aromatic herbs and spices.
  • Master the Art of Simmering: The key to a rich and flavorful broth lies in simmering the ingredients over low heat for an extended period. This gentle cooking method extracts flavors without overpowering them, resulting in a harmonious and well-rounded broth.
  • Layer Flavors with Aromatics: Elevate your broth by incorporating aromatic ingredients such as garlic, ginger, scallions, and star anise. These aromatics add depth and complexity to the broth, creating a symphony of flavors.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pot: To avoid diluting the broth's flavor, ensure that the pot is not overcrowded with ingredients. Allow sufficient space for the ingredients to release their flavors fully without becoming waterlogged.
  • Season Judiciously: Taste the broth regularly and season it gradually. Start with a small amount of salt and soy sauce, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Over-seasoning can overpower the delicate flavors of the broth.
  • Chill and Remove Fat: Once the broth is cooked, allow it to cool completely. Refrigerate the broth overnight or for several hours. This chilling process allows the fat to solidify on the surface, making it easy to skim and remove, resulting in a cleaner and clearer broth.

Conclusion:

Crafting a delicious Chinese-style broth requires careful attention to detail, from selecting premium ingredients to mastering the art of simmering. By following these tips, you can create an aromatic and flavorful broth that forms the foundation of countless delectable dishes. Experiment with various ingredients and techniques to discover your own unique flavor combinations, and enjoy the versatility of this essential culinary component. Whether you're preparing a comforting noodle soup, a hearty stew, or a flavorful stir-fry, a flavorful broth elevates any dish to new heights of culinary delight.
