When you have leftover chicken from the Grilled Chili Sauce Chicken (燒烤鮮辣椒鷄, Siu¹ Haau¹ Sin¹ Laat⁶ Ziu¹ Gai¹) recipe, you can add it to noodles and green onions to make a quick stir fry with oyster sauce. This is a great dish for lunch. If you’re feeling really lazy, you can buy pre-packaged ready-made (fresh) noodles at your local Asian market and then you won’t even have to boil water to make this dish!

Grilled Chili Sauce Chicken (燒烤鮮辣椒鷄, Siu1 Haau1 Sin1 Laat6 Ziu1 Gai1)

 

This recipe was updated on 28 Aug 2015. Some instructions and ingredient quantities were changed, and metric measurements added.

This grilled chicken dish is marinated in a chili sauce made by Sichuan Gau Fu Ji Food Company. The chili sauce consists of fresh chopped chilies in oil and spices, and has a fresh chili taste together with a potent kick of heat. This brand is available at your local Asian market, but you can use another prepared chili sauce if you can’t find this brand. Surprisingly much (but certainly not all) of the heat from the chilies are gone after grilling the chicken, but the fresh chili taste remains.

A note on the Cantonese translation for this ingredient, you’ll notice that the translation for the chili sauce is: fresh hot peppers. The first two words are correct, but I wasn’t able to find the translation for the last character, so I substituted the character for peppers. I hope someone can tell me what the last character translates to.

Lamb Shanks with Spiced Lentils

I had some already browned on the grill, but uncooked, lamb shanks in my freezer (newly rediscovered!) and decided it was time to cook them. This dish was adapted from Braised Lamb Shank with Coriander, Fennel, and Star Anise recipe at the epicurious.com website. I used a slow cooker instead of the oven to cook the dish and made some additions to the ingredients; the most significant being lentils. This makes a nice meal for a cool Fall or Winter evening.

Chicken and Shiitake Mushrooms with Tomatoes (番茄冬菇鷄, Faan1 Ke4 Dung1 Gu1 Gai1)

 

This recipe was updated on 10 Sep 2015. Some instructions and ingredient quantities were changed, and metric measurements added.

The last of my home grown tomatoes went into making this dish. It’s really just a recipe of chicken, mushrooms, and tomatoes with a mild sweet and sour sauce, and the dish, of course, goes well with steamed rice. The tomato wedges are added at the last minute with the sauce to keep their shape intact.

Grilled Teriyaki Beef Rib Steak with Vegetables

Here’s a simple recipe for grilling and smoking a beef rib steak medium rare. The steak is first marinated using Kikkoman’s Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce together with sake (both ingredients can be found at your local supermarket), together with some crushed garlic. After being marinated, the marinade is discarded and then oil and ground pepper is rubbed into the steak. The beef is grilled first uncovered, producing the grill marks on the presentation side of the steak, and then covering the grill to smoke the steak. Grilled and smoked mushrooms and corn accompany the steak.

Enjoy!
