New Potatoes With Sesame Oil And Hot Pepper Flakes Recipes

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 2 inches. Season heavily with salt. (The water should taste like very salty seawater once the salt has dissolved.) Place over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until there's no resistance when a knife or cake tester is poked through the largest potato, about 10 minutes after they come to a boil. Drain potatoes and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to air-dry.
• While the potatoes cook, make the spice blend: In a small bowl, shake the Sichuan peppercorns and discard any shiny black seeds, twigs or leaf fragments. Add the husks to a dry wok, along with the star anise, fennel seeds, white peppercorns and half the cumin seeds. Toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a small bowl to cool slightly. Return wok to heat and add remaining cumin seeds and the chiles. Toss and stir until very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a second small bowl.
• When cool, transfer the spice mixture in the first bowl, along with the 2 chiles from the second bowl to an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt, sugar and chicken bouillon. Grind to a fine powder and return to the empty bowl.
• Add the cumin seeds that toasted with the chiles to the spice grinder or the mortar (no need to clean it out) and pound or pulse until very coarsely ground. (There should be large, distinct pieces of cumin seeds.) Add half-ground cumin and the sesame seeds to the rest of the spice mixture and stir to incorporate.
• Stir-fry the potatoes: When potatoes are dry, heat 3 tablespoons oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Clear a small space in the center of the wok and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to it. Immediately add the garlic, scallions and spice mixture to the oil and stir until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in spices, about 15 seconds. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce toa low boil and cook until just tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely, 2 to 4 hours. Peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron or nonstick) over medium until shimmering. Add cumin, mustard, and sesame seeds; as soon as they begin to pop -- a matter of seconds -- add potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Add 2 teaspoons salt, cayenne, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown in spots and heated through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Combine pepper flakes and oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Bring to a boil then immediately turn off heat.
• Let cool.
• Leave pepper flakes in oil.
• They will fall to the bottom and the oil can be used in seasoning.
• The oil will become hotter as it stands.

Steps:

• Combine the oil, onion, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chiles, sesame seeds and Sichuan peppercorns, if using, and sizzle, stirring, for 1 minute, then stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Spoon over everything. It adds big flavor to milder bases, such as eggs, tofu, noodles, rice, vegetables, white fish, lean pork and chicken breast.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 20-30 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool for 5 minutes. Remove skins. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and stir the potatoes in butter until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Stir in parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
• Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and cut in half.
• Rub with sesame oil then sprinkle generously with coarsely ground black pepper and salt.
• Bake on a baking sheet until tender, turning partway through (about 45 minutes).

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes; do not peel. Cook in water to cover in covered pot until tender but still firm, from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on size.
• Drain and cut in thirds or quarters, depending on size. Drizzle with sesame oil and stir to mix well. Then sprinkle with hot pepper flakes, according to taste.
