Crispy Ginger Slaw Recipes

GINGER-CHICKEN SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small skillet, cook ginger and garlic over medium heat in oil, stirring, 1 minute. Reserve 1 tablespoon mixture and transfer remainder to a bowl. Whisk in lime juice and zest and sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
• Brush reserved ginger mixture over chicken and season with salt. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet until skin is crisp and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (without touching bones) reads 165 degrees, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then shred into bite-size pieces (discarding skin and bones).
• Toss chicken, cabbage, and carrots with dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, topped with cilantro and cashews.

CRISPY GINGER BEEF

Steps:

• Place cornstarch in a large bowl; gradually whisk in water until smooth. Whisk eggs into cornstarch mixture; toss steak strips in mixture to coat.
• Pour canola oil into wok 1-inch deep; heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Place 1/4 of the beef strips into hot oil; separate strips with a fork. Cook, stirring frequently, until coating is crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove beef to drain on paper towels; repeat with remaining beef.
• Drain off all but 1 tablespoon oil; cook and stir carrot, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, green onions, ginger, and garlic over high heat until lightly browned but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper together in a small bowl. Pour sauce mixture over vegetables in wok; bring mixture to a boil. Stir beef back into vegetable mixture; cook and stir just until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Dip each ball in sugar and place on cookie sheet, sugared side up about 2 inches apart.

TANGY GINGER SLAW

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, onion and radishes. In another bowl, whisk the vinegar, lime juice, oil, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt and pepper flakes. Pour over cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving.

GRILLED SLAW WITH GINGER AND SESAME

Steps:

• Light your grill, building a hot fire and set it up for direct grilling. Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and grease it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in canola oil.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage lengthwise into quarters through the core. Cut the pear in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Lightly brush the cabbage, pear and scallions all over with 2 to 3 tablespoons sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Grill the cabbage until darkly charred on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Char just the outside; the inside should remain cool, firm and crisp. Transfer to a sheet pan to cool.
• Grill the cut sides of the pear until grill-marked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the scallions, bell pepper and jalapeños until grill-marked, turning halfway through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the sheet pan. Let the vegetables cool to room temperature.
• Make the dressing: In a large bowl, mash together the sugar, ginger and garlic with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the rice vinegar and whisk until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons sesame oil, plus the sesame seeds and chile paste, if using.
• Cut away and discard the core of each cabbage quarter, then thinly slice the charred cooled napa cabbage crosswise, and add it to the dressing. Julienne the pear, bell pepper and jalapeño and add them to the slaw, discarding the bell pepper and jalapeño seeds. Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, discarding the root ends, and add them as well.
• Taste the slaw for seasoning, adding more vinegar, sugar and salt to taste. Refrigerate until serving and serve within a couple hours of mixing.

GINGER COLESLAW

Steps:

INCREDIBLY CRISP GINGERSNAPS

Steps:

• Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together on medium speed the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes until very light, fluffy and whitened. Add the egg and continue beating until smooth. Lower speed and beat in half the dry ingredients, then the molasses. Stop the mixer and scrape down bowl and beater. Beat in the remaining dry ingredients. Remove bowl from mixer and use a large rubber spatula to finish mixing the dough. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out 1-inch diameter pieces of dough. Roll into balls between the palms of your the hands, then roll in the sugar. Place the balls of dough on the prepared pans leaving about 3 inches all around each, to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they have spread, the surface has crackled, and they are firm to the touch. Slide the papers from the pans to racks. Store the cooled cookies between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or platic container witha tight-fitting cover.

• In a smaller bowl, combine EVOO, vinegar, orange juice and honey. Whisk until well blended, about 20 seconds.

• Pour dressing over vegetables and fruit. Stir well to coat.
• Serve immediately or chill 1-2 hours for best flavor.
• Serve as a side salad for grilled chicken, ribs, or bar-b-q.
• NOTE: CUCUMBERS: To de-seed cucumbers easily, peel, then slice the cucumbers in the half in the long direction. Using a melon baller tool, run melon baller down center of each cucumber half, removing and discarding seeds. A teaspoon can be used if melon baller tool is not available.
• GRAPEFRUIT: To make things easier, I cut my grapefruit in half and sectioned them with a grapefruit spoon as if to have them for breakfast. I removed the sections and then squeezed the juice into the salad. This made the sectioning and the clean-up a lot easier.
