Grilled Red Wine Lamb Chops (燒烤紅酒羊扒, Siu1 Haau1 Hung4 Zau2 Joeng4 Paa4)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong, all rights reserved.
This is an easy to make grilled lamb chop recipe. The recipe uses the same marinade that was used in the Grilled Red Wine Turkey Wings (燒烤紅酒火雞翼, Siu1 Haau1 Hung4 Zau2 Fo2 Gai1 Jik6) recipe. The marinade is very simple and consists mainly of soy sauce and red wine, ingredients that are easily obtainable. While I didn’t add black pepper for this recipe, the lamb chops are even tastier if the lamb is coated with freshly ground pepper before grilling (after discarding the marinade).
Enjoy!

Chicken Abalone Sauce Noodles (鮑魚醬鷄乾撈麵, Baau1 Jyu4 Zoeng3 Gai1 Gon1 Lou1 Min6)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong. All rights reserved.
This is actually a variation on the previous noodles in sauce recipes: Noodles in Sauce (乾撈麵, Gon1 Lou1 Min6), Chicken and Chinese Broccoli Noodles (芥蘭鷄乾撈麵, Gaai3 Laan4 Gai1 Gon1 Lou1 Min6), and Basil Noodles in Sauce (紫蘇乾撈麵, Zi2 Sou1 Gon1 Lou1 Min6). Rather than using oyster sauce, as was done in the previously mentioned recipes, abalone sauce was substituted, and the dish used many fresh ingredients that are more often used to make chow mein. I would characterize the taste of the noodles as being more subtle by using abalone instead of oyster sauce. So the next time you reach for the oyster sauce, try substituting abalone instead.
Enjoy!

Red Curry Lamb Stew (燉咖哩羊肉, Dan6 Gaa3 Lei1 Joeng4 Juk6)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong. All rights reserved.
Lamb stew meat was available at my local supermarket, so I couldn’t resist buying it to make a curry based dish. When lamb is pre-packaged and labeled as stew meat in the USA, the meat is usually cut from the leg. The convenience of pre-packaged lamb stew meat means that you can purchase the quantity of meat needed for a dish, rather than having to purchase a portion or whole lamb leg to cut into pieces. Using a one dish sized can of curry paste also serves to simplify making this dish. The curry paste is first stir fried and then the coconut milk is added before the rest of the ingredients. The dish actually cooks quite quickly and just about any set of vegetables can be used.

Chili Oil Bean Curd Mixed Mushroom Fish Balls and Fried Tofu (紅油腐乳油炸豆腐菇魚蛋, Hung4 Jau4 Fu6 Jyu5 Jau4 Zaa3 Dau6 Fu6 Gu1 Jyu4 Daan6)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong. All rights reserved.
Fish balls are available in the frozen or refrigerated sections at your local Asian market. All that needs to be done is to thaw the fish balls, if frozen, and then cut them in half. The rest of the ingredients are available packaged or bottled (except for the vegetables), so this dish is pretty easy to make. The chili oil fermented bean curd is the spicy version of fermented bean curd, and the amount can be increased or decreased depending upon personal preference. Plain fermented bean curd can be substituted if spiciness is not desired in the dish.
Enjoy!

Grilled Black Pepper Sauce Beef Loin Steak (燒烤黑椒牛排, Siu1 Haau1 Hak1 Ziu1 Ngau4 Paai4)

Black pepper sauce is the basis for this easy to make beef steak marinade. The steak can be marinated for as little as one hour, but ideally should be done overnight. Just make sure to turn the steak over halfway through the marinade time so that both sides of the steak are coated. If you’re really pressed for time or want to quickly coat the steak at the last minute, the black pepper sauce can just be used all by itself as a barbeque sauce. For the best results, choose a thick cut beef steak for a given weight so as not to overcook the beef.
Enjoy!

Grilled Red Wine Turkey Wings (燒烤紅酒火雞翼, Siu1 Haau1 Hung4 Zau2 Fo2 Gai1 Jik6)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong, all rights reserved.
This is an easy to make grilled turkey recipe using just the wings. My local supermarket frequently has turkey parts, rather than a whole turkey, available and turkey wings are one of my favorite parts of the turkey to purchase. The wings cook surprisingly fast once the individual wings are separated and marinated before grilling. I also grill the wing tips, but can easily be omitted and used for stock instead. The marinade is also very simple and consists mainly of soy sauce and red wine, ingredients that are easily obtainable. While I didn’t add black pepper for this recipe, the wings are even tastier if the wings are coated with freshly ground pepper before grilling (after discarding the marinade).
Enjoy!

Basil Tomato Curry Chicken and Mixed Mushroom Fish Balls (咖哩紫蘇番茄菇魚蛋鷄, Gaa3 Lei1 Zi2 Sou1 Faan1 Ke4 Gu1 Jyu4 Daan6 Gai1)

Copyright © 2015 Douglas R. Wong. All rights reserved.
Tomatoes and curry are common ingredients in dishes available at Chinese-American restaurants in the USA. Some of my favorite recipes are: Curry Tomato Beef Tripe (咖哩番茄牛柏葉, Gaa3 Lei1 Faan1 Ke4 Ngau4 Paak3 Jip6), Spicy Tomato Beef Curry (咖哩粉番茄牛肉, Gaa3 Lei1 Fan2 Faan1 Ke4 Ngau4 Juk6), and the curried version of Tomato Beef Chow Mein (番茄牛肉炒麵, Faan1 Ke4 Ngau4 Juk6 Caau2 Min6). The previous tomato-curry recipes are beef based, so this recipe uses a chicken and fish ball combination to show that other proteins can be used to make this type of dish. Fish balls can be purchased at your local Asian market. The meat and fish combination also is a classic taste duo used in Chinese dishes. The curried based sauce can also be varied to be made sweet and sour, if desired, but just curry powder is used for this dish.
Enjoy!
