Grilled Shiitakes With Ginger And Scallions Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GINGER-SCALLION NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the carrots and snow peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain the noodles and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the saucepan and reserve. Snip the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears.
• Finely chop the scallions and ginger in a food processor. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Add to the noodle mixture, season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce.
• Slice the chicken and serve over the noodles.

SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling it around wok, and heat until it begins to smoke.
• Add bacon and stir-fry until brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and reserve for another use.
• Add scallions and garlic to bacon fat and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour broth down side of wok (it will bubble vigorously), add salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Add mushrooms, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, turning occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer mushrooms to a bowl with a slotted spoon and, when cool enough to handle, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Drizzle liquid over mushrooms if desired.

GRILLED SHIITAKES WITH GINGER AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.)
• While coals are lighting, stir together Sherry, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Toss mushrooms with salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, then grill on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer mushrooms with tongs to bowl with sauce, then add scallions and toss until combined.

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GINGER SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the scallion sauce: Add the scallions, vegetable oil, vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic to a small bowl and stir to combine. Add 2 tablespoons of the ginger scallion sauce to a large bowl and keep the rest refrigerated until ready to serve the chicken.
• For the chicken thighs: To the bowl with the 2 tablespoons reserved ginger scallion sauce, add the oil, soy sauce, vinegar and sambal oelek. Whisk to combine, then add the chicken thighs. Stir to coat the chicken in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet, smooth-side up. Sprinkle the smooth side with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the chicken to the heated grill pan, seasoning-side down. Sprinkle the underside with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill for 10 minutes, rotating the chicken once. Flip the chicken and cook until it is 165 degrees F all the way through and has nice grill marks, an additional 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Serve the chicken with the remaining ginger scallion sauce.

SOY-GINGER GRILLED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat grill until very hot. In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, peanut oil, and ginger; whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and cook noodles until al dente, about 8 minutes. Place spinach in a colander in the sink, and drain noodles over spinach. Transfer the spinach and noodles to a bowl, and add 6 tablespoons ginger mixture and the scallions; toss to combine, and set aside.
• Place remaining ginger mixture in a large bowl; add mushrooms and scallops. Toss to coat. Place mushrooms on grill, smooth-sides up; cook until lightly browned. Turn over, and continue cooking until soft. Remove from grill, and slice into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Add to noodle salad, and place on serving platter. Place scallops on grill, and cook until opaque and firm, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer to the serving platter with the noodles, and serve.

GRILLED SHIITAKE (OAK MUSHROOMS)

Steps:

• Preheat charcoal or gas-fired grill.
• Wipe mushrooms with damp cloth and place them, stem side down, on hot grill and cook 2 or 3 minutes. Turn and cook 2 or 3 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, blend soy sauce, lemon juice, mirin, chopped scallions and chili mixture. Serve mushrooms immediately with sauce on side for dipping.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, heat the oil and ginger slices over medium-high until the oil around the ginger starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Season the chicken with salt, then push the ginger to the side. Add the chicken to the pan and let cook, undisturbed, until the chicken starts to brown and easily releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. (It's OK if the pieces of chicken don't all have color, as it will be crowded.) Stir in the garlic and rice, flipping over the chicken, and cook until the rice is coated with oil and starts to sizzle, about 1 minute.
• Add the stock or water, then raise the heat to high to bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up anything on the bottom of the pot. Cover and immediately lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until most of the water has been absorbed and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. During the last 8 minutes, stir to make sure nothing is sticking on the bottom, then layer the greens on top, cover and finish cooking.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the soy sauce and juice of 1 lime. Fluff the rice and let sit for 5 minutes, covered. Serve as is, or pull the chicken apart into bite-size pieces. Season to taste with salt, the lime wedges and more soy as needed or serve at the table. Top with the scallions and cilantro, if using.

SOY, GINGER AND MUSTARD COATED BLUEFISH WITH GRILLED SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill. Combine the mustard, soy sauce and ginger and rub the mixture over the flesh side of the bluefish. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place the fish on the grill, flesh side down. Grill for 7 minutes. Carefully turn the fish over and grill until just cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, place the scallions on the grill and grill until tender, about 10 minutes, turning once. Cut the fish in half lengthwise; cut again crosswise, making roughly equal pieces. Place 1 piece of fish and 3 scallions on each of 4 plates and serve immediately.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOP AND SHIITAKE SKEWERS

• Soak wooden skewers in water while mushrooms and scallops marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread mushrooms and scallops onto separate skewers. Grill until mushrooms soften scallops are opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Cook mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes more if needed. Serve immediately.
