Chicken China Moon Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse chicken bones under cold running water.
• Place rinsed chicken bones in a heavy 8-quart stock pot.
• Add the cold water and set pot over high heat.
• Bring to a near boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until there is a thick foam on the surface.
• Skim off and discard the foam.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer (very low simmer) for 3-4 hours or until the liquids are reduced by about half.
• DO NOT BOIL.
• Strain finished stock through several layers of cheesecloth.
• Refrigerate overnight and skim off the congealed fat.
• This makes about about 12 cups.
• The second day use this stock (warning: do not substitute canned) in place of 12 cups of water to repeat the entire stock making process.

Steps:

• Toss greens, cabbage and cilantro with dressing. Top with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Combine sesame seeds, ginger, sugar and soy sauce.
• Grill chicken over medium coals, or broil 6 inches from heat source, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Baste with soy mixture frequently.
• Garnish with green onions and serve over rice.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a large skillet and cook chicken until no longer pink; remove and reserve.
• In a food processor, add onion to puree, then add cheese to puree. Add chicken and puree a final time.
• In a large bowl, add flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs and mix well; add water and adjust with flour and water as needed. Dough should be elastic, but not sticky.
• In a small bowl, beat 1 egg and add one tablespoon of water. On a floured surface, roll out dough until it is 1/4 inch thick or almost paper thin. Cut out 2 inch circles and brush with egg and water mixture. Place 1 teaspoon of stuffing in the middle of the circle and fold over. Seal the half moon by crimping the edge.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add half moons and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until al dente; drain and serve.

Steps:

• Toast the whole spices together in a small dry skillet over low heat. Stir and adjust the heat so spices toast without burning. Stir until the spices are totally fragrant and the fennel seeds and lighter colored spices are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground spices.
• Use a spice grinder or coffee grinder to grind the mix finely.
• Store in a tightly covered glass jar.
• May use in seasoning marinades and sauces, mayonnaises, chopped meat mixes, sauteed veggies and pastas. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cover ginger with boiling water. Let stand 2 minutes, then drain in colander. Put the ginger in a large, clean glass jar or plastic container.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive pot. Stir over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour over ginger.
• Let cool completely, then cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. Enjoy!
• The thin slices of ginger make a good addition to plates of grilled meat, fish, or poultry. Minced or julienned, they are good added to sauces and marinades. The juice can be used in hot and cold sauces, spring roll dips, and salad dressings. You will get 3/4 cup ginger and about 2 cups juice.
