"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Special Chicken

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb chicken wings, cut-up into segments, at joints.

MARINADE


A MIXTURE

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp sherry wine
1 a few gratings of fresh ginger
2 tsp hoisin sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp salt
1 dash msg (optional)

B MIXTURE

2 eggs
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup flour
1 oil for deep frying
1 lettuce leaves, shredded



 

Preparation

Green onion, Chinese parsley and cashew nuts, all chopped, for
garnish This is one of the better deep-fried chicken recipes I've
found. It calls for chicken wings, but I used a whole chicken, cut up
Chinese style and just increased the marinade ingredients a tad.

Serve this with side dishes of hoisin sauce, spiced salt (toasted salt
mixed with black pepper about half and half), hot mustard and chili
oil along with a bowl of finely chopped scallions. Dip piece of
chicken into the dip of your choice, then into the scallions and
enjoy! Ice cold beer goes great with this dish. Oh yeah++steamed rice
too...

Be sure to use the dark, toasted sesame oil rather than the health
food store stuff.

1. Soak cut-up chicken in marinade ingredients A for 1 hour. Mix
ingredients B into bowl with marinated chicken. Stir well. Will be
very sticky and stiff to mix.

2. Heat 2 inches oil in wok to 375F. Drop batter covered chicken
piece by piece carefully into hot oil. Do not fill wok too full of
chicken or it will take too long to brown. Should take only 5 minutes
to cook through. Result will be crispy golden brown chicken pieces.

3. Drain on paper towels. Place on platter lined with lettuce
shreds.

4. Garnish if desired with chopped green onions, Chinese parsley and
cashew nuts.
