Re: 10/10 Wins! This Week's Menus anyone?

I haven't really been participating because:

A) my parents like to order in/eat out A LOT

B) I'm dieting, so my menus are BORING

C) I've been working late Tues/Thurs nights so my dinners are severely lacking those nights!

Anyhoo, here's this week's not-so-fun menu (I'll only give the nights I'm cooking)

TUES - BBQ chicken, coleslaw, steamed broccoli

WED - Sundried tomato, basil & mozz turkey burgers, steamed veggies

THURS - Italian chicken and stuffed portobello mushroom caps, salad

Yup...it is my first attempt at the springrolls and chicken though Chat Icon Chat Icon I got the recipe from Allrecipes but I am going to try to lighten it up by using less egg or whites, and doing a shallow fry instead.

4 cups vegetable oil for frying
3 eggs
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 dried whole red chilies, or to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, or to taste

Directions

1.Heat the frying oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2.Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in the 1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch until no lumps remain. Mix in the chicken until evenly coated in the batter.

3.In batches, carefully drop the chicken cubes into the hot oil one by one, cooking until the chicken turns golden brown and begins to float, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

4.Meanwhile, combine the sugar, white vinegar, rice vinegar, sherry, soy sauce, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce thickens to the consistency of light pancake syrup, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

5.Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the dried chiles and ginger; cook and stir until the ginger begins to brown, about 30 seconds. Remove the chiles and ginger from the wok and stir them into the sauce. Place the fried chicken cubes into the wok and cook until very crispy and dark golden brown. Serve the chicken with the sauce.

Emerils Veggie Egg Rolls

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1 cup julienne carrots
1 cup julienne snow peas
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/4 cup soy sauce
8 egg roll wrappers
Peanut oil, for deep frying
1/4 cup dry mustard
1/4 cup water
Cilantro leaves, garnish

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame and canola oil. Saute cabbage for 2 minutes. Add carrots and snow peas. Cook an additional 1 minute.


Whisk together cornstarch and soy sauce until smooth. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook until sauce comes to a boil and is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.


Lay the egg roll skins on a flat surface and lightly brush edges with water. Place 1/8 of the filling at one end of each skin, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top and sides. Roll wrapper over filling, tucking in the ends after the first roll.


Heat 3-inches of peanut oil in a large, deep saucepan. When the oil is hot, about 350 degrees F, fry the egg rolls until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with Essence.


To serve, slice each egg roll in half, diagonally and place on each serving plate. Combine dry mustard with water. Drizzle each egg roll with the hot mustard. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
