Quick Seared Garlic Ginger Jalapenos Recipes

QUICK PICKLED JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients except jalapeños to a boil in a medium sized pot (4-5 cloves smashed garlic, 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons dried oregano).
• Add jalapeño slices to the pot, stir together, and remove from heat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the jalapeños to a jar. Once all the peppers are in there (you can smush them in quite a bit to make them fit), pour enough brine from the pot in the jar to fill it up. Discard any remaining brine.
• Allow the pickled jalapeños to cool in your refrigerator for about an hour before consuming. Store in your fridge for up to 2 months for optimal freshness.

QUICK PICKLED GARLIC JALAPEñOS

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, sugar and water in a sauce pot.
• Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat and cool until it reaches room temperature.
• While it cools, you can use this time to slice the peppers and garlic.
• To remove the seeds from the peppers, remove the top of the pepper and roll the pepper firmly on a cutting board using your palm. Then squeeze the pepper gently until seeds start to fall out. This won't remove every single seed, but it will help lessen the spiciness of the peppers. If you want the pickles to be extra spicy, skip this step.
• Fill a mason jar with the garlic and peppers and pour the vinegar mixture over top until it reaches the neck of the jar. You will most likely have extra liquid that can be discarded.
• Use a spoon to push down the garlic and peppers so they are completely submerged in the liquid.
• Cap the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least three days. Wait over a week for even better results.
• The peppers will stay good in the refrigerator for several weeks.

PAN-SEARED TUNA WITH AVOCADO, SOY, GINGER, AND LIME

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cilantro, jalapeno, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the ingredients together until well incorporated.
• Place a skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute on each side to form a slight crust. Pour 1/2 of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Serve the seared tuna with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the tuna pieces generously with salt and pepper. Lay the tuna in the hot oil and sear for 1 minute to form a slight crust; flip and sear the other side 1 minute. Pour half of the cilantro mixture into the pan to coat the fish. Transfer the seared tuna to plates and serve with the sliced avocado and the remaining cilantro sauce drizzled over the whole plate.

JALAPEñO JANGJORIM WITH JAMMY EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Set up an ice bath in a medium bowl.
• Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook at a moderate boil for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
• Gently nestle the beef brisket into the pot of hot water; add the onion, scallions, dasima and ginger. Bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat to medium and cook at a gentle boil until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Using a pair of tongs, transfer the meat onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. As the meat cools, strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl and discard the aromatics. Add 3 cups of broth back to the pot. (Any remaining broth can be reserved for soup or noodles.) Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and mirin to the pot and stir until combined. With your hands, shred the beef into thin strands, and add to the pot as well.
• Bring the pot to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the soy sauce brine reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Nestle in the peeled eggs along with the jalapeños and garlic. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
• Serve at room temperature. (If preparing in advance, transfer the mixture to a resealable container, such as a Mason jar, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This dish tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)
