Yellow Snapper With Black Thai Sticky Rice Corn Sauce And Baby Bok Choy Recipes

Steps:

• In a shallow pot that a bamboo steamer fits over or in a wok, add the water and bring to a boil. You can also use a traditional steamer that has 2 layers. Add the ginger, lime leaves, citrus zest, cilantro, scallions, white wine, jalapeno, and peanut oil. Season well with salt. Bring back to a boil and cook for 10 minutes for the flavors to combine.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper. Place the first layer of the bamboo steamer over the pot. Line the steamer with the cabbage leaves, making sure that the surface is not completely covered so the steam can get through. Lay the fish, skin-side up, on the cabbage leaves. Cover and steam for 1 minute.
• Place the bok choy on the second layer of the bamboo steamer in 1 layer. Uncover the steamer and place the bok choy layer on top of the fish. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and the bok choy is tender, but still has some crispness. Check the fish for doneness by gently inserting a fork into it. If the fork slides easily in, the fish is done. If the fork resists sliding in, it is not quite done. Remove the fish and bok choy and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peanut oil and heat. When the oil is hot, add the ginger, garlic, and jalapeno and saute until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Do not allow the vegetables to brown. Add 4 ounces of the steaming liquid and the soy sauce and boil for 2 minutes. Do not season with salt as the soy sauce is salty. Add the sugar and boil for 1 minute, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Lower the heat and whisk in the butter. Add the scallion whites, stir, and remove from the heat.
• Place some jasmine rice on a platter. Top with the steamed bok choy. Top the bok choy with the snapper, skin-side up. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the scallion greens and cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• For the roast chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Finely grate the zest of 1 navel orange and reserve in a small bowl for the glaze. Thinly slice the navel and blood oranges into rounds, then scatter on the bottom of a Food Network 16-inch Hard-Anodized Nonstick Roaster. Top with the red onions, then pour in the chicken broth. Place the roasting rack on top.
• Add the butter, ginger, chile garlic sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a small bowl and stir together to combine. Use your fingers to gently separate the skin from the breast and thigh meat of the chicken. Rub half of the butter mixture under the skin, then rub the remaining half all over the skin, making sure to coat both the breasts and thighs. Sprinkle the whole chicken generously with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Place the chicken on top of the roasting rack breast-side up, then tuck the wings under the body (this will prevent them from burning). Roast until the skin starts to crisp and turn golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• For the orange glaze: Meanwhile, add the orange juice, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger chile garlic sauce and reserved orange zest to the 1.5-quart saucepan from a Food Network 10-piece Hard-Anodized Space-Saving Cookware Set and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until reduced slightly, 12 to 15 minutes. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch until smooth, then simmer until thickened to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• After the chicken has roasted for 30 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze onto the chicken skin and continue to roast, brushing on the glaze every 15 minutes or so and adding a splash of chicken broth to the bottom of the pan if it starts to get dry, until the skin is deep golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, 45 to 60 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest 10 minutes.
• For the stir-fried baby bok choy: Heat the sesame oil in the 10-inch skillet from a Food Network 10-piece Hard-Anodized Space-Saving Cookware Set over medium-high heat. Add the sugar snaps and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are bright green and tender, about 2 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
• Transfer the oranges and red onions from the roasting pan to a serving platter. Carve the chicken and place on top. Serve with the stir-fried baby bok choy and any leftover glaze on the side.

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a large bowl, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch and toss to coat.
• For the sauce: In another smaller bowl, combine the stock, cornstarch, oyster sauce, soy sauce and chili sauce. Mix well and set aside.
• For the stir-fry: Heat a wok over high heat and, when the wok starts to smoke, add the peanut oil. Add the ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Then add the chicken, let settle for 1 minute, and then stir-fry for 3 minutes more. As the chicken starts to turn opaque, add the rice wine and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir in the reserved sauce and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms and bok choy stalks and cook for 1 minute. Then stir in the bok choy leaves and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in half the scallions. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the remaining scallions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, water, Sriracha, lime juice, ginger, and garlic together for sauce and set aside so flavors can mix.
• Heat oil in a large, nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the bok choy, cut-sides down, until they are starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip them over and continue to cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place bok choy on a plate. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro.

Steps:

• Trim and discard the rough bottoms from the baby bok choy. Separate the leaves, rinse, and pat dry.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat the bottom and sides. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry until aromatic, 20 to 30 seconds. Add the bok choy and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook for another 30 seconds. Turn off the heat, and drizzle with sesame oil. Transfer to a serving plate and serve hot.
