Shiitake & Asparagus Nori Rolls

March 3, 2019 by Asian Inspirations Admin Leave a Comment

To Make Filling
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms in a single layer and fry for 2-3 mins until golden. Turn and fry other side. Repeat with other batches.
Remove from the heat and add soy sauce to each batch while it is still hot.
Toss to coat mushrooms. Allow to cool and drain excess fluid.
In a small bowl, mix Kewpie Mayonnaise with sriracha sauce and set aside.
Lay out chilli mayo mix, mushrooms, asparagus, sliced carrot, Thai basil, chives and spinach in a row ready to make your rolls.

To Roll
Have the short edge of the nori closest to you, the long edge away from you.
Spread a small amount of chilli mayo across the nori sheet 1cm in from the near edge.
On top of the mayo strip, lay a small amount of each vegetable and herb evenly across the width of the nori.
Pick up the edge of the nori closest to you and roll up the vegetables and herbs as tightly as you can in the nori, leaving both ends open.
Take a spring roll skin, placing a corner in front of you and a corner away from you.
Place the nori roll on top of the spring roll skin close to your nearest corner. Roll the spring roll skin around the nori, stretching it slightly as you go and folding in the side edges like an envelope to enclose the nori roll.
Repeat until your vegetables have been used. (A damp tea towel will stop your spring roll skins from drying out.)

To Cook
Heat the oil in a large pan. The width of the pan must be greater than the length of the rolls.
Shallow fry the rolls over moderate heat.
Drain on absorbent paper and cut diagonally.
Serve immediately with two sauces: Kewpie Dressing Sesame Soy Sauce and Kewpie Dressing Roasted Sesame or sweet chilli sauce and Kewpie Dressing Sesame Soy Sauce.

Tempura Mushroom Bao with Pickled Radish and Miso Mayo

March 3, 2019 by Asian Inspirations Admin Leave a Comment

To Make Fillings
Place all pickled radish ingredients in a bowl and massage the salt, sugar, vinegar and chilli into the radishes. Leave in the fridge for 5-10 mins.
Place tofu, miso paste, rice vinegar and rice malt syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set the blender on high speed and drizzle in the oil so it emulsifies. Store the mayo in the fridge.
Mix sake, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and water in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
Add mushrooms and cook for 5 mins or until tender. Remove and pat dry with paper towel.
Return half the liquid to the heat and reduce by half.
Heat the oil in a large wok. Mix the corn flour, plain flour in a large bowl, add soda water and mix quickly.
Add mushrooms and turn them to coat. Lift one mushroom at a time to let the excess tempura batter drip off, then lower into the hot oil. Repeat until all mushrooms are golden brown. Drain them on paper towel.

To Make Bao
Place the milk, flour, baking powder, yeast and sugar together in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the oil and water together.
Make a little well in the middle of the bowl with the dry ingredients and add the water oil mix.
Stir with a spoon and use your hands to knead until the dough comes together.
If the dough is too sticky add a little more flour and keep kneading. Knead for about 5-8 mins or until it is smooth. Cover and leave it in a warm place for 90 mins to rise (roughly double its size).
Once the dough has risen place on a floured surface and knead for a further 5 mins to get the air out. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough about 1 cm thick.
Grease the top with oil then use a glass or rough cutter that is roughly 8 cm in diameter to cut out 12 circles. Remove the excess dough.
Fold the circles in half and slightly roll with a rolling pin. Place each bun on a square of baking paper and pop in bamboo steamer to rise for 30 mins.
Fill a third of a wok or saucepan with water and heat on high.
Place the bamboo steamer on top and steam buns for 12 mins.
Then turn off the heat and let it sit for 4 mins before taking the lid off.

Assembling the Bao
Take your bao bun, open it up and fill with shredded wombok, green onions and pickled radish.
Place your tempura mushrooms on top, then add a drizzle of the reduced mushroom liquid and a dollop of miso mayo. Enjoy!

Xi’an Biang Biang Noodles

March 3, 2019 by Asian Inspirations Admin Leave a Comment

To Prep
In a stand mixer, place flour, salt and water into the bowl and mix with your hands until it starts to loosely form a dough. Using the dough hook, knead the dough on a low speed for 20 mins.
Pull a piece of dough from the ball and it should stretch without breaking (the dough should be smooth and elastic). If it breaks, knead dough for another 5 mins in the mixer.
Cover the dough in glad wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour.

To Cook
Using a small fry pan, put in the cumin and coriander seeds on a low-medium heat until the spices are aromatic. Remove from heat and grind into a powder using a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
Cut the tofu in half. Using one half of the tofu, cut into 1cm cubes. With the remaining tofu, slice thinly into 4mm slices.
Using a medium size fry pan, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil and heat to medium temperature. Carefully place in tofu cubes and fry until lightly browned, remove and set aside.
Using the same frypan, add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and the thinly sliced tofu and raise to a high heat. Cook until the tofu is crispy and has some crunch to it. Remove and set aside once done.
Once the dough has rested, put it onto a lightly oiled surface and roll into a rectangle about 30cm long and 1.5cm thick. Using a large knife, cut dough into 10 strips.
Using your hand, flatten each strip into a wide noodle – it does not have to be perfect.
Pick up each end of the noodle, then carefully hit it against the counter (up and down – similar to a skipping rope). This will allow the noodle to stretch and flatten out further. The noodle should be about 3mm thick, ensuring it is a similar thickness throughout the noodle. Repeat with each noodle, allowing it to rest on a non-stick surface, then cover with a light towel or glad wrap.
In a wok, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil to a medium heat, then add the ginger, garlic, spring onion, cabbage and red chilli, cooking for 1-2 mins (until fragrant).
Add the mushrooms to the wok, stir fry for 2 mins. Then add Shaoxing cooking wine, cumin, coriander, Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil, Lee Kum Kee Peppercorn Chilli Oil, sugar, soy, vinegar, salt and celery. Stir for 2 mins.
Using a large pot, put the noodles into boiling water and cook for 2 mins (fresh hand-made noodles are quick to cook).
Add the cubed tofu to the wok containing the sauce mixture and coat the tofu.
Once the noodles are cooked, add them to the wok with the sauce mixture and cubed tofu and toss gently until well combined.
Garnish with the crispy fried tofu slices, finely sliced chilli and spring onion.
In a small bowl mix rice wine vinegar and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Place in sliced cucumbers for pickled vegetable side serve.
Serve immediately to enjoy!
