Food Tip |
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

I would rather live in Russia on black bread and vodka than in the United States at the best hotels. America knows nothing of food, love or art. |

The term "velvet" denotes a method of poaching chicken breast to turn
it white and make the texture very soft and smooth.Care must be taken
to use simmering liquid for just long enough to cook the chicken
through.Boiling water or prolonged poaching will toughen the texture.
Velvet chicken: Heat 6 cups of water to boil. Reduce to simmer.
Remove skin from chicken breast; cut breast into 1" chunks.Simmer in
uncovered pan for 3-5 minutes, until meat is cooked through.
Sauce: In wok or sauce pan, heat chicken stock, sherry, ginger juice,
sugar & salt. When sauce is very hot, slowly add condensed milk or
cream. Stir to combine. DON'T ALLOW SAUCE TO BOIL. Dribble in corn-
starch paste to thicken. Enrich with sesame oil. Add chicken before
serving to reheat.
Rice stick: Heat oil in wok for deep-frying until hot enough to puff
up rice stick but not brown it. Fry in small batches; drain. Process
takes just seconds. Place rice stick on platter; cover with chicken.
