Hillbilly Tea Cornmeal Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• For the tofu croutons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the tofu in a bowl and add the miso, sesame oil and turmeric. Gently mix to coat.
• Spread evenly onto a baking sheet and bake until they are firm and starting to crisp on the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
• For the soup: Heat the sesame oil in a large high-sided sauté pan or wok and sauté the ginger, tamari, mushrooms and garlic until the flavors infuse and heat together, about 4 minutes (do not let them burn).
• Add the cilantro and bok choy and sauté until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• For the broth: Add the water and miso to a heatproof pitcher or liquid measuring cup and stir until dissolved.
• Add the noodles to the pan with the sautéed vegetables, then pour over the broth and gently mix it all together. Turn off the heat. Divide the soup between 4 bowls.
• For the topping: Top each bowl with a quarter of the baked tofu pieces. Then sprinkle over the cilantro, scallions, chiles if using, a drizzle of hot sauce and a squeeze of lime.
• Eat while it is nice and hot.

Steps:

• Fry 5 slices bacon in a skillet. Remove and set aside.
• Dice all peppers and onion and saute in bacon grease until cooked down a bit. Then stir in tomatoes, chili sauce, rice, brown sugar, Worcestershire, black pepper, pepper flakes and 2 1/2 cups water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring it every so often, until the rice is done, about 25 minutes. Crumble cooked bacon and reserve some for garnish, then stir the rest into the sauce.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Wrap your weenie in remaining 2 slices raw bacon. Flash deep-fry 1 1/2 minutes, then cook on flat top until bacon is crisp and weenie is plumped. Toast the top of the hot dog bun. Put weenie in the bun, then top with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining bacon bits.

Steps:

• Set up a barbecue for indirect cooking to 110 degrees C (225 degrees F).
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pan set over medium heat on the stovetop. Add in the garlic and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 minutes. Add the brisket and the Chili Seasoning and stir until the meat is coated in the spice mix.
• Add the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes, stir well, and bring almost to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir in the bourbon, molasses and beans, then add 500 milliliters (17 ounces) of the stock and some salt and pepper.
• Cover the pan with a lid and place it on the barbecue. Cook for 1 hour, and then check and adjust the seasoning and the chili heat. It's better to adjust the seasoning at this point, rather than just before serving. Cook for another 5 hours or so, stirring occasionally and adding more stock when needed.
• The chili is done when it looks like a rich, glossy sauce with melt-in-your-mouth meat that is still in identifiable hunks. Serve the chili topped with sour cream and pickles.
• In a small bowl, mix the chipotle, cumin, chiles, cocoa, coriander, oregano, smoked salt, sugar, cinnamon, paprika, smoked paprika and black pepper. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a large single-serving bowl, sprinkle in the chicken seasoning from the ramen package. Add the sriracha and lay on the dry ramen noodles. Sprinkle over the shredded carrots and sliced green onion. Add the mushrooms and one-quarter of the baby corn (reserve the rest for another use), then pour the boiling water into the bowl. Set aside for 3 minutes.
• Add the lime juice. Gently stir with a fork, sprinkle over the chopped peanuts and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cornmeal and saute, stirring constantly, for about a minute so that the grains are coated with oil. Add the broth and bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat, whisking all the while. When cornmeal comes to a simmer, it will bubble up vigorously. Quickly put a lid on saucepan, turn heat down to very low and cook the cornmeal until it no longer tastes raw, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. While oven is preheating place the 2 tablespoons shortening in a well seasoned 9-inch cast iron skillet and place in oven.
• In a large bowl stir together the cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder. Add the egg and buttermilk. Mix until combined.
• Once the shortening has melted, remove the skillet from the oven and pour the melted shortening into the batter. Mix then pour into hot skillet. Return to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done.
