Suna mult mai pretentios decat este. In realitate, este un fel de mancare rapid si gustos. Poate putin iesit din tiparele obisnuite, insa ar fi gata intr-o ora, o ora si ceva daca ne gandim si la perioada de stat la marinat. Mai mult decat rezonabil, as spune. Sa vedem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The title is way more pretentious than the food itself. In fact, this is a fast and tasty dish. Maybe a little out of the ordinary, but this should be ready in about one hour or so including the time the chicken needs to be marinated. So more than reasonable, really. Let's see. SUMAR: Ce am folosit pentru vreo 2 portii generoase: 2 conserve de compot de ananas 1 piept de pui dezosat 150g alune prajite si sarate 1 lime (sucul si coaja) 3 catei de usturoi vreo 3 cm radacina ghimbir condimente (curry praf si curry pasta, fulgi de ardei iute, busuioc, coriandru boabe, sos de stridii, galganf pudra, zahar brun) 50g unt si 100g orez sare, piper, putin ulei de masline Ce-am gresit: Am uitat sa pun piureul pe foc. Ce sa vezi, era bun la gust si desi citisem reteta de n ori, am omis acest detaliu. Nu am avut busuioc proaspat si am folosit uscat; nu am avut nici pudra de ghimbir dulce, nici frunze de lamaie. A mers si fara, cred ca destul de decent. Ce fac mai bun sau mai bine data viitoare: Incerc musai cu frunze de busuioc proaspat. Caci din cele de lamaie nu cred sa gasesc in hypermarket. Dar sunt destul de fericita ca am gasit praf de galganf, totusi, Nu ma asteptam :) De unde am reteta: De aici. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY What I used for 2 generous servings: 2 pineapple cans 1 piece of boneless chicken breast 15g fried and salted peanuts 1 lime (we need the juice and peel) 3 garlic cloves about 3 cm ginger root spices (curry power and paste, hot chilli flakes, basil, coriander, oyster sauce, galganf powder, brown sugar) 50g butter and 100g rice salt, pepper, some olive oil What I did wrong: I forgot to put the puree on the stove; it was really good after I blended it and and even though I read the recipe several times, I still missed this. I also didn't have any fresh basil so i used dry basil. I also didn't have lemon leaves or sweet ginger powder, but I think the result was more than decent. What I need to do better or tastier the next time: I will use fresh basil leaves since i doubt I will find lemon leaves in the supermarket. I am proud I found galganf powder though. How I came across this recipe: This is from here. A inceput cu cele de trebuinta pentru marinada, iar - cata vreme puiul a stat la rece - m-am ocupat de piure si orez. Intr-un mojar, am pisat usturoiul, ardeiul iute, boabele de coriandru si coaja de lime. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- i started off with what I needed to do for the marinade and - while my chicken strips were marinating - I went on to prepare the puree and rice. So I used a mortar and pestle to blend together my garlic cloves, hot chilli flakes, coriander and grated lime peel. O data amestecul gata, l-am adaugat peste zeama de lime, sosul de stridii, busuioc, praful si pasta de curry si cea de galganf, plus o ceasca de suc de ananas. Nu prea erau indicatii privind cantitatile din aceasta etapa, insa am pus 2 lingurite din fiecare. V-as sfatui sa puneti doar o lingurita de galganf, caci este destul de puternic, picant si citric-aromat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once my mix was pestled, I added it to the mix of lime zest, oyster sauce, basil, curry powder and paste and galganf powder, plus one teacup of pineapple juice. I didn't have much instructions to the quantities of these spices so I added two teaspoons of each; however you should just add one teaspoon of galganf, since its flavour is very intense, hot and citrus-flavoured. Puiul taiat fasii/gujoane merge in toata aceasta poveste si intra in frigider pret de vreo ora. Cand ii vine vremea, il infigem pe tepuse si il frigem pe tigaia grill pana ce capata o nuanta atragator-comerciala. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The chicken cut in strips goes into this mariande and into the fridge for about one hour or so. When the time has passed, we simply put it in food spears and grill it until nicely done. Pentru piure, eu am pus ananasul din doua conserve, caci mi s-a parut cam mult sa fi pus trei; am procedat corect, in conditiile in care mai aveam si un orez si o singura persoana la masa mea, care manca pui. Ananasul, alunele si ghimbirul razuit, busuioc, zahar brun (vreo 3-4 lungurite caci mi se parea destul de dulce) si putin ardei iute (merge o lingurita de fulgi fara probleme, chiar si mai bine, daca va place). toate merg in blender pana iese o pasta. Aici ar fi trebuit lasat pe foc, doar ca eu am omis asta. Am servit cu un orez preparat simplu - un cub de unt lasat sa se topeasca la foc mic, in putin ulei de masline; orezul putin sotat si stins cu putin suc de ananas; fiert cu apa adaugata putin cate putin, asezonat doar cu sare si putin curry pudra presarata la servire). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the puree, I only used 2 cans of pineapple instead of 3, since I found it was too much; I did the right thing, considering I also did the rice and only one person at my table eats chicken skewers. The pineapple, peanuts and grated ginger, basil and brown sugar (3-4 teaspoons) and some hot chilli flakes (one teaspoon works without any issues, even more if you like it). All gets blended until paste; this is when you should put it on the stove to get it hot, only I forgot it. I served with a simple white rice, which I did with rice sauteed in the 50g butter with some olive oil; once the rice seemed to start frying, I added some pineapple juice and water from time to time until fully cooked. No spices, just salt and some curry powder on the plate. A fost delicios. Nu stiu exact cum experienta completa (orez simplu, cu usoara aroma de ananas+piure de ananas cu arahide+ frigaruie de pui condimentata asa iscusit), dar am auzit de bine de la Carnivor, care nu mi-a vorbit cata vreme nu terminase farfuria. A fost buna si experienta piure+orez, ce sa zic... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was delish. I have no idea what the full experience was like (simple rice with a slight pineapple flavour plus pineapple peanut flavoured plus spiced chicken skewers), however I heard the best about it. My Meat Lover did not address one word to me, until he finally finished eating the entire plate. The puree+rice experience was nice as well... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRY SEXUAL I'LL TRY ANY RECIPE (AT LEAST) ONCE.

SUMAR: Ce am folosit pentru 2 portii generoase: noodles asiatici cu ou (cei 'sticlosi' de orez sunt grozavi in retete thai, subiectul altei discutii; deocamdata - taitei cu ou) 1 ardei kapia 2 cepe mici Sfanta Treime Asiatica: ceapa verde (2 fire), usturoi (2-3 catei) si ghimbir (cca. 1 cm. radacina razuita) 1 morcov 1 dovlecel 2 ciuperci mari si brune curry, boia de ardei, sos de wok piept de pui Ce-am gresit: Gatitul la wok e o experienta rapida. Si fierbinte :) M-am grabit cu pozele si am omis sa pun ceva seminte de susan, care contribuie si la gust, pe langa aspectul "asiatic". Ce fac mai bun sau mai bine data viitoare: Il pun pe Carnivor sa faca poze si eu ma concentrez la noodles, unde nu mai uit sa pun susan De unde am reteta: 50% inventie, 50% inspiratie oferita de prietenul meu, Gok, de pe paprika tv, din diversele retete de profil ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY What I used for 2 hungry-guys servings: some egg-based Asian noodles (the 'glassy' rice ones are great in Thai recipes, but that's another conversation; for now, Asian egg noodles) 1 red pepper Asian Holy Trinity: Spring onions (about 2), garlic (2-3 cloves) and ginger (about 1 cm. grated root) 1 carrot 1 zucchini 2 big brown mushrooms curry, paprika, Wok sauce chicken breast What I did wrong: Well, turns out cooking on a wok (or 2 of them) can be quite a hot and 'quick' experience. :) I was so busy taking pictures throughout the cooking stages, that I forgot to add some sesame seeds; they not only improve the taste, but also make the dish look a lot more... "Asian" What I need to do better or tastier the next time: I really need to get my Mr. to take my pics for me, so that I can concentrate on my noodles and not forget to add sesame. How I came across this recipe: This is 50% invention, 50% Gok inspiration from his various recipes on paprika tv Incepem simplu: lucrez la 2 wok-uri: unul e veggie, unul e cu carne de pui. Punem noodles-ii la fiert in apa cu putina sare, cca. 15 min. sau conform instructiunilor de pe pachet. Special pentru colegul meu de birou, atasez o poza cu taietii pe care ii folosesc eu (achizitionati din Auchan, ca si sosul); ambele tipuri sunt foarte gustoase. Cat timp noodles-ii se fierb, tai carnea oblic si o marinez in sos de wok (un sos gata preparat din comert, o combinatie de sos de soia, sos de peste si diverse mirodenii asiatice, in proportia ideala). Tocam legumele: ceapa - julienne, sau - romaneste - solzisori. Ori cat mai rustic, incat la wok se va topi daca e prea firava. Morcovul - l-am feliat cu curatatorul de cartofi si am procedat la fel si cu dovlecelul. Am feliat ciupercile; am taiat oblic ardeiul si ceapa verde. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I start off easily: I work with 2 woks - one will be my veggie dish, one will be chicken meat based. I put the noodles in a boiling water with a pinch of salt for about 15 minutes or according to the producer's instructions. Especially for my esteemed co-worker, i attach herewith a pic of my choice for noodles (ready made, of course; I got them at Auchan, as well as my wok sauce); both kids are delish. For as long as the noodles get boiling, I cut chunks of the chicken breast and marinate the pieces in wok sauce (this is a ready made sauce, a great combo of soy sauce, fish sauce and various Asian spices, in ideal proportions). Vegetables get chopped: onions - julienne, or as rustic as you wish, since we need to melt in the high heat wok is cut too finely. I sliced the carrot and zucchini using my potatoes peeler. Mushrooms get sliced, pepper and Spring onions get diagonally chopped. Gatitul la wok presupune flacara intensa si amestecare fara lingura (prin rasucire). Primul aspect e motivul pentru care necesar sa pregatim toate legumele si carnea in avans, pentru ca totul va fi gata in cca. 10 minute de cand punem wok-ul pe foc. Sau, in cazul meu, wok-urile. :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cooking with a wok involves high heat and non-spoon, twist-based mix. The first is the reason why we need to have everything ready prior to get it started, since all cooking will be done in about 10 minutes tops as of the moment we place the wok on the stove. Or, in my case, the woks. Totul s-a intamplat atat de repede, incat nu am apucat sa fac asa multe poze. Inceputul e clar: am incins putin ulei de masline in wok(-uri), la foc mare. Am adaugat ceapa, putin curry si boia. Dupa ce ceapa a devenit putin sticloasa si repejor, pana nu s-a ars boiaua, am pus puiul marinat scurs (in versiunea non-veggie), iar apoi ardeiul si morcovul. In versiunea veggie, evident, sarim peste pui. Am stropit cu putin sos de wok; gustati-l, este destul de sarat asa ca nu ar trebui sa mai adaugat sare in wok. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It all happened so fast, I haven't got a chance to take that many pics. The beginning is pretty clear: I got my wok pans on high heat with a dash of olive oil. I then added the onions, a little curry and paprika. After the onion got a bit moist and pretty fast, before the paprika burns, I added my drained marinated chicken (for my non-veggie version) and then added the pepper and carrot. In the veggie version, obviously, we need to skip the chicken stage. I added a splash of wok sauce; give it a taste, since it is pretty salty and you shouldn't add more into your wok. Intre timp, noodles-ii s-au fiert si i-am scurs; i-am trecut sub un jet de apa rece si i-am abandonat in sita pana a venit vremea lor. Am pastrat putin din apa de la fiert, pentru a o folosi putin mai tarziu. Am rasucit nitel din wok-uri si am continuat adaugand ciupercile, dovlecelul, usturoiul si ghimbirul. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the mean time, the noodles are boiled and I drained them; they took a fast cold shower and were abandoned in the sieve until their time came. I saved a little bit of the boiling water in order to use it a little later on. I twisted and turned my woks and carried on adding the mushrooms, zucchini, garlic and ginger. Cand a venit vremea lor, am adaugat noodles-ii in fiecare wok; i-am rasucit in fel si chip, am stropit generos cu sos de wok; dupa ce taiteii s-au rumenit nitel in wok, am pus putin din apa de la fiert a taiteilor, pentru a nu iesi prea uscati. Apoi, am aruncat ceapa verde, am pus capacul si am oprit focul. Am lasat toata socoteala sa se odihneasca nitel, iar apoi am servit. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When their time finally came, i added the noodles in each wok; i twisted and turned them around, added a splash of wok sauce; after the noodles got slightly roasted in the wok, i added some of the water they boiled in, so that they don't get too dry. Then, I just dropped off my Spring onions, popped the lid on and turned the fire off. I left it all to rest just a little bit and then I served. Pozele de mai jos arata cam ce a iesit. Stiu ca nu se prea observa, dar una este veggie, iar alta nu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The below pics show what came out of it. I know you cannot really tell, but one is veggie and one is not. TRYSEXUAL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'LL TRY ANY RECIPE (AT LEAST) ONCE |
