Ginger Scallion Tripe Dim Sum Style Recipes

Steps:

• Clean the tripe well under running water.
• Place the whole pieces of tripe in a large pot and fill with chicken stock, water, 2 1/2 ounces of the sliced ginger, 4 scallion stalks, 1 garlic clove, sesame oil, 1/2 cup of the rice wine, white pepper, salt and the dried chilil peppers.
• Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and continue to simmer for 2-3 hours. Check for doneness by piercing tripe with a fork. Tripe should be tender but easily sliced with a knife, not rubbery.
• Drain the tripe and slice into 1 inch strips. Discard broth.
• In a wok, heat peanut oil on medium high heat.
• Add and sautee the garlic clove, 1/2 ounce of julienned ginger, and 2 julienned scallions. About 2 minutes.
• Add the tripe and remaining 1/2 cup rice wine. Simmer for 2 minutes. Discard the garlic clove.
• Make a slurry with the chicken broth and cornstarch. Add mixture to wok. Stir to thicken. About 2 minutes. Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Gai Lan: Rinse gai lan and trim the end of the stems. Bring eight cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan or stock pot. Stir in salt, baking soda, garlic and ginger. Add gai-lan. Cover and simmer about 4 minutes, until the gai lan turns bright green and is tender-crisp. Drain and serve drizzled with the oyster sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
• Sauce: Mix oyster sauce with water or broth, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil to melt the sugar. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• Cut the scallions in quarters lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. You should end up with thin blades of scallions. Separate out the dark green tops from the pale green and white parts. (You don't have to be very thorough; some mixing of colors is fine.)
• Heat oil in a wok or 12-inch skillet over very high heat. When it's shimmering but not smoking, stir in chicken and salt. Cook, stirring almost constantly, until chicken is barely cooked and no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken onto a serving plate, leaving the oil in the pan. Immediately scatter cilantro and scallion greens (not whites) over hot chicken.
• Return wok to medium-high heat. Make sure there are at least 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. If not, add more oil. Stir in ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in scallion whites, soy sauce and sugar, and cook for another 30 seconds (if using a skillet, remove from heat). Immediately spoon the contents of the pan evenly over chicken and herbs. Serve right away.
