Deep-Fried Squid

Deep-Fried Squid
3 lb Squid, cleaned and cut into
-rings
Flour for coating, at least
-3 cups
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for deep frying. Peanut
-oil is best.
Deep-fried squid is one of the most popular seafood dishes in the
world. It is made in almost every country where squid is eaten. Once
you taste it, you'll see why. The rings emerge juicy, sweet and
crisp.
Served with several dipping sauces, this dish makes an excellent hors
d'oeuvre or main course. This recipe calls for a dry coating. Wet
coatings, such as tempura batter, are delicious, too, though they are
a little more trouble to apply.
Dry the rings thoroughly with paper towels. Coat with flour, to
which salt and pepper have been added.
Heat oil to 350F in a deep-fat fryer or heavy casserole. If you
don't have a temperature control or thermometer, you can guess at the
temperature by dropping a few drops of water into the oil. It should
sizzle immediately on contact. Plunge basket laden with one layer of
squid into oil which should bubble vigorously on contact. If you
don't have a basket for deep frying, use a large spoon or tongs to
immerse squid in oil, and to remove. Fry until coating turns golden
brown, about 3 or 4 minutes.
Remove squid and drain. Turn down heat to moderate until just before
you are ready to cook the next batch; oil will overheat when the
fryer is empty. Remove excess oil from squid with paper towels.
Serve rings hot with any of the dipping sauces described below or with
lemon wedges. Cole slaw is a natural with deep fried squid.
Cajun Deep Fried Turkey
10 gal Peanut oil
10 lb Turkey; up to 15 lbs
6 ts Salt
6 ts Paprika
6 ts White pepper
6 ts Cayenne

NOTE-Not recommended for indoor cooking. Rinse turkey
inside and out. Mix 1 part crab boil concentrate to 4
parts water. Combine dry ingredients with crab boil
solution. Adjust seasoning to taste. Inject turkey
(approximately 2" apart) with mixture using syringe
(available from gourmet kitchen stores.) Cover turkey
with foil and refrigerate over night. Heat oil to
350~. CAUTION: Use a grease thermometer to monitor the
oil. It may ignite if the temperature goes beyond
375~. Put turkey in basket and CAREFULLY lower it into
the pot. Cook 5 minutes per pound. Check in 1 hour
using a meat thermometer. NOTE-This is a great dish,
but should only be attempted by someone who has
experience with doing this. It is also expensive due
to the large amount of oil needed.

the center core and cut the core into 1" cubes. Wash
the florets and cubes under cold running water. In a 3
to 4 qt enameled or stainless steel saucepan, bring 1
qt of water and the salt to a boil over high heat.
Drop in the cauliflower and cook briskly, uncovered,
for 10 minutes, or until the pieces are tender but
still somewhat resistant to the point of a small,
sharp knife. Drain in a sieve or colander. In a heavy
10" to 12" skillet with a deep frying thermometer or
in an electric skillet, heat 1" or 2" of oil until it
reaches a temperature of 375F. Pat the cauliflower

Deep Fried Shrimp Balls
1 lb Shrimp, cleaned & deveined
2 Bacon strips
4 Water chestnuts
-OR
1/2 md Onion
Salt
Pepper
1 Egg, beaten
2 tb Corn starch
Oil for deep frying

fine cubes. Place cubes in shrimp mixture. Add salt, pepper, egg and 2
tablespoons corn starch to mixture. Combine thoroughly.
2. Fill deep fyer halfway up with oil. Heat oil on highest heat
setting. When you think oil is sufficiently heated, test the
temperature of it with a small piece of bread crust. If it frys to a
golden brown colour, then oil is ready for deep frying. If bread crust
fails to brown readily, then oil is not ready yet. If bread crust frys
to a dark brown, then oil is too hot. Shut heat off of wok, allow oil
to cool 5 minutes before turning heat on again. Retest oil with bread
crust to see if it is of proper temperature.
3. When oil is ready for deep frying, take 2 teaspoons, dip into
shrimp mixture and form a 1" diameter ball. Drop ball into hot oil,
Place about 8 balls into the hot oil. Allow each ball to deep fry 3
minutes. Turn balls so that each will fry to a golden brown colour.
Remove balls to paper toweling to drain excess oil from them. Repeat
procedure for deep frying rest of shrimp mixture until all of the
mixture is used up. Place shrimp balls on a serving platter. Garnish

Deep-Fried Devils (You Zha Gui or You Tiao)

Deep-Fried Devils (You Zha Gui or You Tiao)
2 ts Coarse salt
1 ts Alum*
1 ts Ammonium carbonate powder*
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Baking powder
1 1/4 c Water at room temperature
3 1/2 c Unbleached flour (approx.)
6 c Or more peanut or corn oil
For deep frying, preferably
In a wok
*available at pharmacies. note: Chains may not carry these. Try to
find an old mom & pop pharmacy.
Put the salt, alum ammonium carbonate, and baking soda and powder in a
large mixing bowl. Add the water and stir until all the powders are
dissolved. Add 3 cups of the flour and use your hands in a pressing and
pushing motion to mix the dough. Add the remaining flour if the dough
is too soft. It should be firm enough to handle Transfer the dough to a
floured surface and knead until smooth with no lumps. The kneading
should take no longer than 2 or 3 minutes. Divide the dough into two
pieces, and with a little flour shape them into two oblong loaves, then
coat with oil and wrap tightly in plastic. Let them sit at least 4hours
and up to 8 hours at room temperature. Sprinkle a large cutting board
with flour and put it near the stove. Stretch the loaves so that each
measures 14 inches long and 3 inches wide. Lay them on the board at
least 4 inches apart. Sprinkle some flour on top. With a rolling pin,
roll on loaf out to about 1/4 inch thick, 4 inches wide, 16 inches
long. Repeat with the other loaf. Cover with a damp towel & let rest 10
minutes. Heat 3 inches of oil to 350 deg. Have a tray lined with paper
towels nearby. Cut 4 crosswise strips 2/3 inch wide from one of the
loaves. Brush the top of 2 with water, then lay the other 2 on top.
Press a chopstick lengthwise on each pair of strips to make them stick
together. Stretch each double strip to 8 to 10 inch length. Lower the
pieces into the oil, immediately turning them gently with chopsticks,
without squeezing them, until all sides become lightly browned. This
takes about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat the cutting and
frying with the rest of the dough. Wrapped in plastic, they keep well 1
week in the refrigerator and 1 month in the freezer. Reheat in a preheated
450 deg oven for about 2 minutes, until crisp but not dry.

1 cup sifted whole-wheat flour (sift to take out
some of the larger bran bits)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil + more for deep-frying
1/2 cup water
Put the 2 flours and salt in a bowl. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons oil
over the top. Rub the oil in with your fingers so the mixture
resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly add the water to form a stiff
ball of dough. Empty the ball on to a clean work surface. Knead it
for 10-12 minutes or until it is smooth. Form a ball. Rub about 1/4
teaspoon oil on the ball and slip it into a plastic bag. Set it aside
for 30 minutes.
Knead the dough again, and divide it into 12 equal balls. Keep 11 of
them covered while you work with the twelfth. Flatten this ball and
roll it out into a 5-5 1/2" round. If you have the space, roll out all
the porris and keep them in a single layer, covered with plastic wrap.
In a deep frier fill about 1/3 with oil. Let it get very, very hot.
Meanwhile, line a platter with paper towels. Lift up one poori and lay
it carefully over the surface of the hot oil. It might sink to the
bottom but it should rise in seconds and begin to sizzle. Using the
back of a slotted spoon, push the poori gently into the oil with tiny,
swift strokes. Within seconds, the poori will puff up. Turn
it over and cook the second side for about 10 seconds. Remove it with a
slotted spoon and put it on the platter. Make all the pooris this way.
The first layer on the platter may be covered with a layer of paper
towls. More pooris can then be spread over the top. Serve the pooris
hot (immediately).

BRAISED DEEP FRIED PORK SLICES IN WINE SAUCE

BRAISED DEEP FRIED PORK SLICES IN WINE SAUCE
1 ts Red rice vinegar
2 tb Medium sherry
3/4 c Stock
Cornstarch paste
1 1/2 lb Boned pork butt
3 tb Peanut oil
3 Cloves garlic, minced
2 Egg yolks
1 ts Water
1 c Fine plain bread crumbs
4 c Oil for deep-frying
PASTE:
2 tb Cooked rice
1/2 ts Sugar
1 ts Dry baker's yeast
2 tb Dark soy sauce
2 tb Warm water
1 ts Wet bean cheese (opt)
The flavoring of the pork with our version of Fujinese
"wine lees paste" gives it a distinctive and uniquely
delicious flavor.
Prepare Paste: Use mortar and pestle to pulverize
cooked rice. Combine with sugar, yeast, soy and warm
water. Let stand in warm place for 30 minutes to
activate yeast. Authentic wine lees paste is not
available in the U.S. to our knowledge, this is the
best substitute we have found. You can add wet bean
cheese for a sharper flavor.
Braise Pork: Slice pork butt across the grain into
strips, 1" by 3" by 1/2" thick. Heat peanut oil in
wok until it begins to smoke. Add some of pork to hot
oil; stir-fry pieces until they lose their pink- ness;
repeat in batches until all pork is browned. Next,
add garlic to wok; stir briefly. Pour in wine lees
paste, rice vinegar, sherry and stock; bring to slow
boil; add pork slices. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer
for 30 minutes. Remove pork, without sauce, to large platter.
Cool pork. Cooling is essential so that it will deep-fry
properly. Reserve sauce in small pan. You can hold
pork for several hours, if you wish to braise it in
advance.
Deep-fry Pork: Heat deep-frying oil. While
oil is heating, beat egg yolks with water; set out
bread crumbs on platter. Dip pork pieces in egg
mixture, then bread crumbs, to thoroughly cover.
When oil is at deep-frying temperature, 375 degrees,
slip in a slice of pork as a test: pork should
lightly brown in about 1 minute. Place 6 pork slices
on Chinese strainer, and lower into oil, strainer and
all. Check in 2 minutes (browning should take slightly
longer than test because strainer cools the oil). If
you prefer to fry in larger batches, use more oil.
Remove fried pork to warm platter, uncovered.
Finish: Reheat sauce, and pour over pork just before
serving.
Fried Onion Mums Or Pom Poms
5 Yellow onions - medium to
-small onions - OR
2 Very large onions
4 c All-purpose flour
5 t Baking powder
2 T Paprika
1 t Garlic powder
2 t Greek seasonings
1 t Salt - or to taste
-black and/or Cayenne
-pepper - to taste
3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Milk
6 c -oil for deep frying
Cut off and discard the top half-inch of the onions. Peel them but do
not cut off the root end. Place each onion, root end up, on a cutting
board.
With a sharp, pointed knife, make vertical cuts all around the onion
about a quarter inch apart. Start the cut a quarter-inch from the root
for small onions or a half-inch from the root for very large ones. Make
sure the knife goes into the center of the onion. Place all the onions
in a large bowl of cold water, add ice cubes, cover and refrigerate
several hours or overnight. The onions will open up like mums. Drain
upside-down when ready to proceed. In a large bowl, mix together
thoroughly the flour, baking powder and spices. In another bowl, beat
together the eggs and milk.
Dip the onions one by one into the egg mixture, opening the petals
with your fingers; let the excess drip off, and place in flour. Work
the flour mixture into the center gently with fingertips. Shake off
excess flour and repeat egg dip and flouring, shaking off the excess
thoroughly.
Half-fill a deep fryer or large, deep, heavy pot with oil. Heat the
oil to 360F or until a small piece of dry bread turns
deep gold in 15 seconds. Fry the onions without crowding them -- one
at a time for large ones -- keeping them submerged with a spatula or
by placing the frying basket on top of them. Plunge them in root end
up and turn them over once. To serve at once, fry large onions for
about six or seven minutes, small ones for five minutes, or until deep
gold. Drain upside-down on paper towels; then invert on a serving
plate. Keep warm in a low oven while frying the others.
Remove the centers of large onions with a very sharp knife. Small
onions may be left whole or the center can be scooped out with a melonball
cutter. If serving the next day, fry the onions until pale gold;
do not fry completely. Let cool. When ready to serve, reheat the oil to
380F and fry the onions just long enough to heat and brown, about 15
seconds. Drain and serve. To get the same taste without making mums,
simply cut onions vertically to make "petals" or crosswise and separate
into rings. This can be done ahead and the petals or rings kept in ice
water. Egg, flour and fry as above.

1/2 Cup Honey
8 Maraschino Cherries
Scoop ice cream into 8 balls, using about 1/2 cup per ball. Freeze
until firm, about 1 hour.
In shallow dish, combine crumbs and cinnamon. In another shallow dish,
beat egg whites until foamy. Roll ice cream balls in egg whites, then
crumb mixture, covering ice cream completely to avoid leakage during
frying. Roll in egg whites and crumbs a second time, if necessary to
cover completely. Freeze until firm, 3 to 4 hours.
In deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375. Using basket or
slotted spoon, fry ice cream balls 1 or 2 at a time for 10 to 15
seconds or until golden brown. Drain quickly on paper towels. Return to
freezer while frying remaining ice cream balls. Serve immediately with
whipped cream, honey and cherries.

1/4 c Cornstarch
1 lg Egg
1 t Sesame oil
1 1/3 c Oil, preferably peanut
2 ts Sesame oil
3/4 c Granulated sugar
2 tb White sesame seeds, toasted
PEEL AND CORE THE APPLES and cut each into 8 large
wedges. Peel the bananas and cut them into 1 1/2-inch
chunks. Combine the flour, cornstarch, egg and 1
teaspoon of sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix them well
to form a smooth, very thick batter. Combine the
peanut oil and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil in a deep fat
fryer or wok and heat the mixture until it is
moderately hot. Put the fruit into the batter mixture.
Then lift out several pieces of fruit at a time, using
a slotted spoon, and drain off any excess batter.
Deep-fry for about 2 minutes, until they are golden.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the process until you have deep-fried all the
fruit. Just before serving, prepare a bowl of ice
water filled with ice cubes. Reheat the oil over
moderate heat and deep-fry the fruit a second time for
about 2 minutes. Drain again on paper towels. Put the
sugar, sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of oil from the
deep-frying oil into a pot. Heat the mixture until the
sugar melts and begins to caramelize. (Watch the heat
to prevent it from burning.) When the caramel is light
brown, add the fruit sections. Stir them gently in the
caramel syrup to coat them. Then take them out and put
them into the ice water to harden. Do a few at a time
to prevent them from sticking together. Remove them
from the water and place on a serving platter. Serve
at once.

CRANBERRY FRITTERS

CRANBERRY FRITTERS
8 oz Cranberry jelly, canned
5 tb Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Sugar
5 tb Water
Vegetable oil
-- for deep-frying
Flour -- for dredging
Cranberry tartness suggests the original Chinese
ingredient, a firm, gelatinous jelly flavored with the
hawthorn berry (or 'shandza', which in northern China
is pureed to make a delicious tart, thick, cooling
drink). Enclosed within a light, deep-fried batter,
the strips of jelly become hot and soft or, in the
case of cranberry, almost liquid. Buy the "jellied
cranberry sauce", not the whole-berry type.
This recipe makes three to four small servings.
DIRECTIONS:
Cut the jelly crosswise into three round slices, 1/2
inch thick. Cut each slice into three strips,
approximately 1/2 x 1/2 x 2-1/2 inches.
Prepare a batter by blending the flour, baking powder,
sugar, and water.
Heat oil for deep-frying; after it is hot, keep the
heat around medium-high. Dredge the cranberry jelly
strips lightly in flour, making sure all sides,
including the ends, are dusted. Then dip them in the
batter to coat completely, and immerse them in the oil
until golden brown. Fry only a few at a time. Drain
on paper toweling, and eat while hot.
Sichuan Dry-Fried String Beans

1 tablespoon Preserved Sichuan Preserved -- Vegetable (jar
choy)
3 cups Peanut oil for deep frying
1 pound String beans -- snapped in
=09
1 tablespoon Minced ginger
1 tablespoon Finely chopped garlic
4 ounces Ground pork butt
1 Green onion -- minced
1 teaspoon Sugar
pn White pepper 2 ts Dark soy sauce 2 tb Chicken stock A swirl of
sesame oil=
This green-bean dish is outstanding. The green beans exude aromatic
flavors and have an interesting chewy texture. I do not fry the beans
as long as traditional recipes call for because I want them to have some
texture left.
Cover the dried shrimp with hot water for 30 minutes. Drain. Chop into
the consistency of coarse bread crumbs.
Rinse the Sichuan preserved vegetables with cold water to wash off the
brine and salt; chop into the same texture as the shrimp. In a deep
fryer add the oil and heat to 375F.
Deep fry the beans in two or three batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until
they look wrinkled, blistered and khaki color.
Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the wok. Reheat the wok
over high heat.
Add the ginger and garlic; stir-fry for 15 seconds. Add the pork,
preserved mustard, dried shrimp; stir-fry for 1 minute longer. Poke and
break up the clumps of pork so that it looks crumbled. Add the green
onion, sugar, white pepper and soy sauce; toss together to blend.
Serves 4 to 6.

FRIED EMPANADAS WITH BEEF OR CHICKEN FILLING

FRIED EMPANADAS WITH BEEF OR CHICKEN FILLING
1 kg Plain flour
250 g Butter, lard or margarine
1 Egg
400 ml Salted water
Beef filling:
150 g Butter, lard or margarine
2 tb Oil
750 g Minced beef
8 Or 10 green (spring) onions
1 tb Paprika
Salt and pepper
4 Hard boiled eggs, chopped
250 g Green olives
1 t Ground chilli
1/4 c Tomato puree
1 t Ground cumin
1 t Mixed spices
1 t Cinnamon
1 c Beef stock
Chicken filling:
500 g Minced chicken
3 tb To 4 tb oil
200 g Red capsicum, finely chopped
300 g Onions, finely chopped
4 tb Tomato puree
3 Hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Dough: Oil or a mixture of oil and solid vegetable
shortening for deep frying.
To make dough: Sift the flour, add the melted
shortening and the egg. Add the salted water bit by
bit and mix to a firm dough. Knead for 10 minutes if
making by hand, 4-5 minutes if using an electric mixer
with a dough hook, or 1-2 minutes if using a food
processor with a dough hook. Leave it to rest for 15
to 30 minutes.
To make the beef filling: Heat the oil and shortening
in a frying pan and saute the green onions, finely
chopped. Add the meat and stir until it is cooked.
Stir in the tomato puree and remaining ingredients,
cook for a few minutes more. Leave until completely
cold before assembling empanadas.
To make the chicken filling: Heat the oil and fry the
onions, then add the capsicum and dry until soft. Add
the minced chicken and stir until it has all changed
color. Season to taste, add the tomato puree, mix
well and simmer for a further 3 minutes. Leave until
completely cold before assembling empanadas.
Assembly and cooking: Roll out the dough about 3 mm
thick and, using a saucer or something similar as a
guide, cut into 24-30 circles about 14 cms in
diameter. Divide whichever filling mixture you are
using between the circles, putting it on one side of
the circle only. Moisten the outer rim of the dough
with water and fold over into a semi-circle. Curve the
ends of the folded side together a little to form a
crescent, then secure the joined edges by folding
them over each other in small sections to form a
"rope" effect (if this sounds too confusing, just
press together and decorate with a fork in the usual
way). Heat about 6-8 cm deep frying oil to very hot
and deep fry the empanadas one or two at a time just
until golden. Remove from the oil immediately and
drain well on kitchen paper. Serve very hot
Halve the filling ingredients or double the dough if
making both beef and chicken empanadas. Empanadas
often include raisins or sultanas which create an
interesting flavour contrast with the meat. A handful
can be added to either of these recipes if you like.
ORIGINAL BUFFALO WINGS
5 lb Fresh large chicken wings
Peanut oil for frying
Durkee/French Hot Sauce
Wingers Original Recipe Hot
Melted Margarine
Celery Sticks
Chunky Blue Cheese Salad Dre
1. Split the wings at the joint and remove the tips. Anchor Bar has
barrels of tips they use in soup stock.
2. Spread the wings out on a rack in a pan and refrigerate so they
drain of moisture/blood. A minimum of 24 hours. This small step will
help produce a 'crispier' final product.
3 Heat deep fryer to 350-360 degrees.
4. Fry wings in small batches until done-8-10 minutes, depending on
the equipment.
5 Drain of excess oil and immediately place in large bowl and coat with
hot sauce & melted margarine.
6. Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese. NOTE:The amounts of Hot
Sauce and Margarine are really to taste. Medium 'HEAT' Wings are
approx. obtained by using 1 cup of Hot Sauce for the entire 5# and
1/2c. of melted margarine.
Experiment-some places do not use the melted marg. at all and just vary
the volume of hot sauce to get the taste they want.
Onions Fried In Deep Fat

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

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 5 inches oil in deep fryer to 375F. Drop batter covered
chicken piece by piece carefully into hot oil. Do not fill 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.

that are used for everything from a quick snack to an everyday dinner
bread. In the North and East regions, a fried yeast bread is most
popular, while in the South and west regions a recipe utilizing
baking powder in lieu of yeast is the more common form. In Texas the
Alabama-Coushatta use the same recipe as the Navajo Fry Bread listed
below.
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir
in milk and knead briefly with lightly oiled hands until smooth. Rub
the remainder of the one tablespoon of oil over the dough. Cover and
let sit in a warm area for about 30 minutes. Either pat or roll out
enough dough to fit in the palm of your hand in a circle about one
quarter inch thick. Deep fry in a hot 350 degree oil for about one
minute per side or until golden brown. Makes 10-12 pieces.
Note: Dough can also be cut into triangles, squares or perfect
circles if rolled out and a cookie cutter like device is used. Serve
with honey, maple syrup, or as a bread for meals.
