SPICY STIR-FRIED CABBAGE



Spicy Stir-Fried Cabbage image

This is a vegetarian version of a classic Chinese stir-fry. The authentic versions I've encountered include some pork or bacon, but the chilies, ginger, garlic, star anise and the cabbage are flavorful enough without meat. I've added carrots for color.

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 star anise, broken in half
2 teaspoons soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 small cabbage, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch shreds
1 medium carrot, cut into julienne
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons minced chives, Chinese chives or cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and star anise in a small bowl. Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in another small bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and star anise. Stir-fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant, then add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt, then add the salt and wine/soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook over high heat for one minute until just wilted. Uncover and stir-fry for another 30 seconds, then stir in the chives or cilantro and remove from the heat. The cabbage should be crisp-tender. Serve with rice or noodles.

"BISCUITS AND GRAVY" - ORANGE-GINGER BISCUITS WITH SCALLION-PORK SAUSAGE GRAVY, SESAME MUSTARD GREENS AND SOY-GLAZED BACON



Provided by Whitney Chen

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/2 cups rice wine vinegar
3/4 cups soy sauce
1/4 cups brown sugar
1 whole star anise
3 whole allspice
1 pound bacon, sliced
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons baking power
3 tablespoons butter, diced and very cold
1 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1 egg
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons orange zest
1/2-pound breakfast sausages
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 to 4 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 scallions, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 bunch mustard greens, rinsed and roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with silicone baking mats.
  • For the bacon: Combine the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, star anise and allspice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce by half. In the meantime,
  • spread the bacon strips onto 1 prepared sheet pan in a single layer. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the glaze over the bacon and cook another 10 minutes.
  • For the biscuits: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and butter. Pulse 2 to 3 times until the butter is roughly incorporated. Set aside.
  • Combine the buttermilk, egg, ginger and orange zest. Mix the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Dump onto a floured surface and pat down into a square, about 1 inch high. Cut into desired shapes and place the other prepared sheet pan. Brush the top of each biscuit with buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are a light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the biscuits are cooking, start the gravy. Remove the casings from the sausage links. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and saute the sausage, breaking it up in the pan until fully cooked.
  • In the meantime, in a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. When melted, vigorously whisk in the flour. Continue to whisk the roux on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups chicken stock to the roux. Continue whisking until shimmering. If the gravy is too thick, add more stock until it reaches the desired consistency. Once at the desired consistency, add the sesame oil and chopped scallions. Add the sausage and season with salt and pepper. Hold warm over low heat.
  • For the mustard greens: In a large saute pan, heat the sesame oil and butter. When the butter is melted and foamy, add the mustard greens. Cook on high heat until tender and the greens begin to crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, split open a biscuit, top with the gravy, follow with the mustard greens and garnish with a slice of the soy-glazed bacon.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, opt for fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients.
  • Brown the Sausages Thoroughly: Browning the sausages gives them a nice color and helps develop their flavor. Make sure to brown them in a single layer in a hot pan so that they sear evenly.
  • Use a Good Quality Soy Sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
  • Adjust the Spice Level to Your Liking: The amount of ginger, star anise, and chili used in this recipe can be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of these ingredients. If you like it spicy, add more.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Sausages with Ginger, Star Anise, and Soy Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The sausages are browned and then simmered in a flavorful sauce made with ginger, star anise, soy sauce, and other seasonings.
