Moo Shu Style Vegetable Pancakes With Watercress Salad And Mung Bean Sprouts Recipes

MOO SHU PORK POCKETS

Steps:

• Combine the pork, cabbage, cayenne pepper, garlic, gingersnap cookies, and soy sauce in a bowl. Form mixture into patties. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add wok or vegetable oil to the pan. Cook patties 7 minutes on each side.
• Heat tortillas on a nonstick surface over high heat for 30 seconds on each side. Paint the tortillas with hoisin sauce, leaving a 1-inch rim from edge. Pile shredded mixed veggies in center of tortilla and top with cooked pork patty. Fold the tortilla up on all four sides and wrap burger in a square package. Invert pork pocket and cut on diagonal. Serve pockets with jasmine rice sundaes and cucumber salad.
• Scoop prepared jasmine rice onto dinner plates using an ice cream scoop. Top with duck sauce and toasted sesame seed "sprinkles". This is a great use for those packets of leftover duck sauce that clutter up your junk drawers in the kitchen and kids love the look of the technique.
• Spread cucumber slices in a thin layer on double-ply paper towels. Roll paper towels up to squeeze water from sliced cucumbers. Transfer sliced cucumbers to a bowl and toss with sliced peppers.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small plastic container and shake until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers, toss, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix the salt into the flour with a fork. Pile the flour onto a clean counter and make a well in it with your fingers. Pour the oil into the well, followed by about half of the hot water. Mix the flour into the water and make into a dough, adding a little water at a time until you have a damp dough. Knead the dough for a bout 10 minutes or until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 18- 20 balls of about equal size. Flatten and roll them out into discs about 2-3 inches in diameter. Brush the tops of half of these with a little oil and place the other half of these on top. Dust with a little flour and roll out into thin pizza like circles about 6-8 inches across. Stack with waxed paper in between the pancakes.
• Heat a griddle or large ungreased skillet over medium-low heat. cook one at a time turning often until bubbles begin to form in the dough. Do not brown! With the tip of a knife seperate the pancake into two and place on a warm plate covered with a clean dampened towel mositened with hot water. Continue doing this until all the pancakes are done.
