    soaking
  liquid.  Mince all of the mushrooms.
 
  Combine all of the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl; blend well
  with your hands.  Set aside.
 
  Assemble the rolls:  Fill a large bowl with 4 cups of warm water and
  dissolve the sugar in it.
 
  Rice paper is quite fragile.  Work with only 4 sheets at a time, keeping
  the remaining sheets covered with a barely damp cloth to prevent curling.
 
  Immerse the rice paper, one sheet at a time, into the sweetened warm water.=
  Quickly withdraw it and lay it flat on a dry towel.  Do this with 4 sheets
  without letting them touch each other.  The rice paper will become pliable
  within seconds.
 
  Fold over the bottom third of each round.  Put 1 generous teaspoon of
  filling in the center of the folded-over portion.  Press it into a compact
  rectangle.  Fold one side of the paper over the mixture, then the other
  side.  Roll from the bottom to the top to completely enclose the filling.=
  Continue until all of the mixture is used.  (The rolls can be prepared 1=
  day in advance.  Wrap and refrigerate.) 
  Fry the rolls:  If possible use 2 skillets.  Pour 1 to 1 1/2 inches of oil
  into each skillet and heat to 325F.  Working in batches, add some of the
  rolls without letting them touch, or they will stick together. Fry for 10=
  to 12 minutes, turning often, until golden and crisp.  Remove the rolls
  from the oil with tongs and drain on paper towels.  Keep warm in a low oven
  until all of th rolls are cooked.
 
  To serve, each diner wraps a roll in a lettuce leaf along with some noodles
  and selected items from the Vegetable Platter and dips the package in the
  dipping sauce.
 
  NOTE:  The fried rolls can be frozen, then thawed and reheated in a 350F
  oven just to crisp and heat through.

Japchae

 

Japchae

Prep Time30 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time55 mins
开云体育s6 servings

My mother taught me to cook the vegetables and meat in color order to avoid turning lighter vegetables an unusual color, and I do the same. Try to cook them in this order, finishing with the meat. My Mom was pretty much always right about this stuff.

Ingredients

For the beef

  • 6?ounces?tender?beef?(strip, rib eye, or?sirloin), sliced against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips

  • 2?teaspoons?soy sauce

  • 1?teaspoon?rice wine vinegar

  • 1?teaspoon?sugar

  • 1?garlic clove, grated

For the japchae sauce

  • 6?tablespoons?soy sauce

  • 3?tablespoons?sugar

  • 1?tablespoon?toasted sesame oil

To make the japchae

  • 12?ounces?dangmyeon noodles ()?

  • 2?large?eggs

  • 1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil, divided, or as needed

  • 1/2?medium?yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 1?large?carrot, cut into 3x1/4-inch matchsticks

  • 3?ounces?shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • 1 small (about?3?ounces)?red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 6?green onions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces, whites and greens separated

  • 2 cups?baby spinach?(2?ounces)

  • Kosher salt?and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Method

  1. Marinate the beef:

    In a medium bowl, combine the beef, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and garlic. Set it aside to marinate while you prepare the noodles.

  2. Cook the noodles:?

    Set a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.

    Drain and rinse under cool running water for a few seconds to make them just cool enough to handle. Do not cool them down all the way. If you have long noodles, use kitchen shears to cut them into 8 to 10-inch lengths.

  3. While the noodles cook, make the japchae sauce:

    In a large bowl (big enough to do lots of mixing as the rest of the ingredients are added), whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil.

  4. Toss the noodles with the sauce:

    Place your cooked noodles into the japchae sauce and use tongs or salad tossers to mix. When the noodles have cooled enough to touch, I like to use my hands to evenly distribute all the sauce. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Set the bowl aside.

  5. Make the egg garnish (jidan):

    Separate the egg whites and yolks into two small separate bowls, and whisk each.

    Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Pour the egg yolks in, tilting the pan back and forth to cover the surface in a thin layer of egg. Cook until the top is just set, but the bottom is not browned. Flip and cook about 10 seconds more. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, slice the egg into thin strips about 1/8 inch wide and about 2 to 3 inches long, and place on the noodles.

    Cook and slice the egg whites the same way, and place them on the noodles.

  6. Cook the vegetables:

    Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over high heat. Cook each vegetable?separately?with 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt until they catch some color and just begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer them to the noodles.?

    Cook them in the following order: onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, red bell pepper, light portion of green onions.

    Cook the dark green portion of the green onion followed by the spinach?separately?with 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt until barely soft, about 30 seconds or less so that they don’t get watery. Transfer them to the noodles.

  7. Cook the meat:?

    Give the skillet or wok a couple of minutes to fully heat again over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and the marinated meat, leaving behind the marinade in the bowl.?

    Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to allow excess moisture to evaporate. Add the cooked meat to the noodles.

  8. Finish the japchae and serve:?

    Toss the noodles with the vegetables, eggs, and beef to combine well. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.

    Refrigerate leftover japchae, tightly covered, for 2 to 3 days.

Japanese Cheesecake

 

Japanese Cheesecake

Prep Time40 mins
Cook Time70 mins
Cooling Time90 mins
Total Time3 hrs 20 mins
开云体育s10 to 12 servings
Yield1 (8-inch) cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 4?large eggs

  • 4?tablespoons?unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan

  • 1 (8-ounce) block full-fat?cream cheese

  • 1/4?cup?heavy cream

  • 1/4?cup?sour cream

  • 1/2?cup plus?1/3?cup?granulated sugar, divided

  • 1/4?teaspoon?kosher salt

  • 1 1/2?tablespoons?lemon juice?(from about 1/2 of a lemon)

  • 2?teaspoons?vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup (60g)?cake flour

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting, optional

  • Berries, for garnish, optional

Special Equipment

  • 1 (8x3-inch) round cake pan
  • Roasting pan
  • Stand mixer

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare the pan:

    Place a rack in the center of the oven. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8x3-inch round cake pan with butter.?

    Cut a sheet piece of parchment paper into 4 strips: two 16 1/2 x 2-inch strips and two 16 1/2 x 4-inch strips.

    Grease the two 2-inch strips and crisscross them in the center of the pan, greased sides down, so they make an “x” in the bottom of the pan. Press them into the edges and up the sides (this creates a sling that will help you remove the cake from the pan once it is baked).?

    Line the bottom of the pan with an 8-inch round piece of parchment. Grease one side of each of the 4-inch strips of parchment and wrap them around the inside walls of the pan with the greased sides touching the sides of the pan. They will overlap and create a collar that is higher than the rim of the cake pan. Set aside while you make the cheesecake.

  2. Separate the eggs:

    Put a kettle or pot of water on to boil. You’ll use this for the water bath later.

    . Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the yolks in a small bowl.



  3. Combine the dairy and sugar:

    Place a large saucepan with 1 inch of water in the bottom over medium heat and bring to a simmer. In a large, heat-safe bowl (that sits snuggly on top of the saucepan), add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Set the bowl over the simmering water.

    Stir with a whisk until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.

  4. Finish the cream cheese base:

    Whisk in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.

    Sprinkle cake flour over the batter and whisk to incorporate. Don’t overmix.

  5. Make the meringue:

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become opaque and foamy. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar while mixing, a spoonful at a time, and continue to beat on medium speed until firm peaks form. If you remove the whisk, the peak will hold upright but the tip will fold back on itself.?

    Don’t overbeat the meringue, making it crumbly.

  6. Fold in the egg whites:

    Using a whisk, gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the cream cheese mixture just until no streaks remain. Be gentle to avoid knocking the air out of the egg whites. Repeat, incorporating a third of the meringue at a time. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

  7. Bake the cheesecake:

    Place the cake pan inside a roasting pan that will fit the 8-inch pan inside. Place both pans on the middle rack inside your preheated oven. Carefully pour a few inches of hot water into the roasting pan, careful to not get water on the cheesecake, until the water is halfway up the side of the cake pan.

    Bake the cheesecake until the top is golden brown and set, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 15 minutes. Crack the oven door slightly (you can use the handle of a wooden spoon if needed) and allow the cheesecake to sit inside for an additional 15 minutes.

  8. Cool and serve the cheesecake:

    Remove the water bath and cheesecake from the oven. Lift the cheesecake out of the water bath and place it on a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature for an hour.?

    Using the parchment paper strips, gently lift the cheesecake out of the pan. Peel the parchment off from around the sides. The cheesecake can be served at room temperature or chilled. If desired, sift powdered sugar on the cake before serving. A serrated knife is the best for making clean slices.

    Refrigerate the cheesecake, covered, for up to 1 week, freeze for up to 1 month. If freezing the cheesecake, defrost overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time13 mins
Total Time18 mins
开云体育s2 to 3

You can use chicken broth in place of the chicken bouillon powder. Add 1/4 cup of broth followed by 2 teaspoons of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water, plus salt to taste.

Ingredients

  • 1?pound?plum tomatoes (4 to 5)

  • 1?tablespoon?vegetable oil

  • 5?large?eggs, beaten

  • 1?teaspoon?toasted sesame oil

  • 2?teaspoons?chicken bouillon powder

  • 2?teaspoons?sugar

  • 1/2?teaspoon?ground?white pepper

  • 1/4?teaspoon?salt

  • 1?green onion,?trimmed and sliced on a bias, to garnish

  • 2?cups?, for serving, optional

Method

  1. Prepare the tomatoes:

    Slice the tomatoes in half. Remove the tough stem from each half that connects to the vine. Cut each half into equal thirds (you’ll get 6 slices from each tomato).

  2. Make the soft scrambled eggs:

    In a cold, 8 to 10-inch nonstick skillet, add the vegetable oil and beaten eggs. Turn the heat to medium. Once a thin layer of eggs is just beginning to cook on the bottom, push the eggs in one direction to create layers of scrambled eggs.

    Cook, gently stirring the whole time, until the scramble eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and shiny, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs to a plate and, if needed, wipe out the pan.

  3. Stir-fry the tomatoes and seasonings:

    Add the sesame oil to the pan followed by the tomatoes and stir-fry over medium heat until the tomatoes are softened but not mushy, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken bouillon powder, sugar, and white pepper. Toss until combined and the sugar and bouillon have dissolved, about 1 minute.

  4. Add eggs, stir-fry, and garnish:

    Add the eggs back to the pan with the tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes to heat through and combine. Taste, adding salt only if needed. Sprinkle with the green onions and serve with steamed rice.

Classic Chopped Italian Salad

 

Classic Chopped Italian Salad

Prep Time25 mins
Total Time25 mins
开云体育s6 servings

Ingredients

For the Italian vinaigrette

  • 1?lemon, juiced

  • 1?tablespoon?Dijon mustard

  • 2?tablespoons?red wine vinegar

  • 2?teaspoons?sugar

  • 1?teaspoon?dried oregano

  • 1/2?cup?olive oil

  • 1/4?teaspoon?kosher salt

  • 1/4?teaspoon?black pepper

For the salad

  • 2?heads?romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1/2?red onion, chopped

  • 1?(15-ounce)?can?chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 1?pint?cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 4?ounces?genoa salami, chopped

  • 8?ounces?fresh mozzarella, chopped

  • 1/2?cup?sliced?pepperoncini

  • 1/4?cup?sliced?roasted red peppers

  • 10?fresh?basil leaves, chopped

Method

  1. Making the dressing:?

    In a jar with a lid add the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, sugar, oregano, olive oil, kosher, salt, and black pepper. Add the lid and shake for 10 seconds until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking.

    Tip

    The vinaigrette can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. It’s best served at room temperature.

    The dressing will separate and solidify in the fridge, so run the jar under some warm water and give it a shake to bring the dressing back to room temperature before serving.

  2. Make the salad:?

    Add the chopped Romaine to a large bowl and drizzle with a few tablespoons of dressing. Top the romaine with the red onion, chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers and basil. Stir together well before serving. Add more dressing, if desired.

  3. Serve:?

    Serve the salad in bowls on its own or with pasta or pizza for a classic Italian meal.

  4. Leftovers and storage:

    If you are planning to store this salad for later, I would recommend storing it without the dressing.?

    If you do dress it and have some leftovers, that’s okay—the dressed salad will keep for 1-2 days in the fridge. The greens just wilt pretty quickly once they are dressed.?

Amish Onion Cake

Total TimePrep: 25 min. Bake: 35 min.
Yield12 servings


This rich, moist bread with an onion-poppy seed topping is a wonderful break from your everyday bread routine. You can serve it with any meat, and it's a nice accompaniment to soup or salad. I've made it many times and have often been asked to share the recipe. —Mitzi Sentiff, Annapolis, Maryland

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 medium onions, chopped
  • 2 cups cold butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook onions in 1/2 cup butter over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir in the poppy seeds, salt, paprika and pepper; cook until onions are golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and sugars. Cut in 1-1/4 cups butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Melt the remaining butter. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sour cream and melted butter. Make a well in dry ingredients; stir in egg mixture just until moistened.
  3. Spread into a greased 10-in. cast-iron skillet or springform pan. Spoon onion mixture over the batter. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Serve warm.

A tasty mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour and a small amount of mashed potatoes combine to give this golden bread its wonderful texture. The loaf is very moist and stays that way for days. —Sue Violette, Neillsville, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1-3/4 cups warm fat-free milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, mashed potatoes, sugar, salt, whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch down dough and turn onto a floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a 9x5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350° until golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool.
