How to prepare thousand year old egg recipe in 10 minutes

Thousand year old egg recipe (chineese)
Preserved Ancient Eggs -These are often called thousand-year eggs, even though the preserving process lasts only 100 days. They may be purchased individually in Oriental markets. The description of the whites turning grayish isn't quite accurate from the ones I've seen. They're more a dark blackish amber color-- quite attractive actually

12 servings

2 c Tea, very strong black
1/3 c Salt
2 c Ashes of pine wood
2 c Ashes of charcoal
2 c Fireplace ashes
1 c Lime*
12 Duck egg, fresh *Available in garden stores and nurseries.

Combine tea, salt, ashes and lime. Using about 1/2 cup per egg, thickly coat each egg completely with this clay-like mixture. Line a large crock with garden soil and carefully lay coated eggs on top. Cover with more soil and place crock in a cool dark place. Allow to cure for 100 days.

To remove coating, scrape eggs and rinse under running water to clean thoroughly. Crack lightly and remove shells. The white of the egg will appear a grayish, translucent color and have a gelatinous texture. The yolk, when sliced, will be a grayish-green color.

To serve, cut into wedges and serve with: Sweet pickled scallions or any sweet pickled vegetable Sauce of 2 tablespoons each vinegar, soy sauce and rice wine and 1 tablespoon minced ginger root. .

How to cook Chicken Noodle Soup recipe

Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1 bay leaf
2 quarts chicken stock, recipe follows
8 ounces dried wide egg noodles
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Place a soup pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, thyme and bay leaf. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the noodles and simmer for 5 minutes until tender. Fold in the chicken, and continue to simmer for another couple of minutes to heat through; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Chicken Stock:
1 whole free-range chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), rinsed, giblets discarded
2 carrots, cut in large chunks
3 celery stalks, cut in large chunks
2 large white onions, quartered
1 head of garlic, halved
1 turnip, halved
1/4 bunch fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Place the chicken and vegetables in a large stockpot over medium heat. Pour in only enough cold water to cover (about 3 quarts); too much will make the broth taste weak. Toss in the thyme, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and allow it to slowly come to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, partially covered, until the chicken is done. As it cooks, skim any impurities that rise to the surface; add a little more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered while simmering.
Carefully remove the chicken to a cutting board. When its cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones; hand-shred the meat into a storage container.
Carefully strain the stock through a fine sieve into another pot to remove the vegetable solids. Use the stock immediately or if you plan on storing it, place the pot in a sink full of ice water and stir to cool down the stock. Cover and refrigerate for up to one week or freeze.
Yield: 2 quarts

Stuffed Herbed Chicken with Boursin Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, 1/2-pound each
Fresh basil leaves, (or other green - beet green, swiss chard, spinach), enough to cover each chicken breast
2 Tbsp finely chopped toasted walnuts 2.5 oz Boursin garlic and herb cheese (or 2.5 oz of herbed cream cheese recipe, see below), room temperature
1/3 cup bread crumbs
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten wellSaltPepper
Herbed Cheese2.5 oz cream cheese, softened
1 garlic clove, minced
3 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
3 teaspoons fresh chives, minced
A pinch of cayenne1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black peppercorns
A pinch salt
Method of preparation
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Put each chicken breast half between two layers of plastic wrap, on a chopping board, and use a meat mallet to pound until 1/4-inch thick.
2 Dip each basil (or other bitter green) leaf in boiling water, drain and set aside.
3 If you are not starting with Boursin herbed cheese, make your own by mixing together the Herbed Cheese ingredients mentioned above. Mix the walnuts into the cheese mixture, set aside.
4 Lay the chicken breasts flat, season each side with salt and pepper. Spread the cheese-walnut mixture over each breast, covering the surface of the breasts. Layer on the basil leaves. Starting at the shortest end of the chicken breast, roll up as tightly as possible and tuck in the ends to form a neat roll. Secure each breast with 2 toothpicks.
5 Put flour, beaten egg, and bread crumbs combined with the Parmesan cheese on to 3 separate flat dishes. Dredge each chicken breast roll first in the flour, then the egg, and finally the Parmesan bread crumbs. (Skip this step if you are going low carb and/or gluten-free.)
6 Transfer chicken breasts to a greased baking dish, seam side down. Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of the breast, until the internal temperature is 165°F, the juices run clear, and the chicken is slightly browned.

Italian eggplant recipes

This recipe has been handed down for many generations! It's a family original - from the farmlands back in Calabria. There was never such a thing as an overabundance of eggplant. This is a fabulous side dish that can be served anytime. Today, I enjoy this with crusty Italian bread, lightly toasted or homemade garlic bread (the garlic baked right in the bread) fresh from the oven. Yesterday I drove down to PA to visit my favorite market and loaded up on all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies - and of course - enough Italian eggplant to enjoy and make this!



Ingredients:



Eggplant

Coarse salt

Hot peppers

Olive oil

Vinegar

Fresh garlic cloves

slicedFresh mintfinely chopped



Wash and peel eggplants; slice lengthwise - thinly; slice into long thin ribbons. Place in colander, layering with coarse salt. Three to four eggplants should call for a good handful of salt (we eyeball this!) Place a weight on top and leave to drain for 24 hours.



=Drain. =



In large pot, combine one part vinegar with two parts water; bring to boil. Drop in eggplant; let sit 3 minutes; drain; squeeze out excess moisture from eggplant.When just about dry, place in large bowl with sliced garlic, hot peppers (sliced) and mint. Mix in enough olive oil to coat well. Pack into hot jars, leaving little headspace. Pour a little extra olive oil on top. Poke with a wooden spoon to release trapped air. Seal with hot sterilized lids - hot water bath method.NOTE: This is an original recipe from many years ago. When I make this (I usually don't can this - I make it whenever I want) I do it a bit differently.After slicing into ribbons I immediately submerge in hot liquid for 3 minutes; remove and drain very well. To me eggplant is not that bitter and does not have to be layered with the salt! I leave that step out of all my eggplant cooking!I transfer to large bowl, add peppers, mint and oil as instructed. I still transfer to a clean jar, add more olive oil and poke. Cover and refrigerate several hours before serving. This will keep several days in the fridge - if it lasts that long around here!

Big Soft Hamburger Buns Recipes

Big Soft Hamburger Buns

Big Soft Hamburger Buns These homemade buns have a wonderful light-textured soft interior and a delicate crust thanks to the inclusion of both mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. They are very easy to make in a KitchenAid stand mixer and so much better than store-bought buns!

9-12 servings
2 hours 40 minutes 17 mins prep

Ingredients
1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes
1 cup boiling water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
4-4 1/2 cups flour

Method
Stir together potatoes and boiling water; allow to cool at least 5-10 minutes; meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water; let stand about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir together potato mixture, yeast mixture, cottage cheese, sugar, oil, egg, and salt; gradually stir in (KitchenAid stand mixer on low speed
#1) flour until a soft dough comes together to form a smooth ball. Knead 9-10 minutes (in KitchenAid stand mixer on medium speed
#2) until dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky; add more flour, one tablespoon at a time during the kneading process, if necessary to reduce stickiness. Place dough into oiled bowl; cover bowl and place in a warm place; allow dough to rise (about 1 1/2 hours) until doubled. Punch down dough and knead a few strokes to release air; divide dough into 9 (or 12 portions if you want to end up with not-quite-so-large buns) equal portions; with lightly oiled or floured hands, shape each dough portion into a ball, gently pulling and tucking top surface under until smooth. Place formed buns 2 or more inches apart, tucked sides down, on a greased baking sheet; cover and allow buns to rise (about 30-45 minutes) until puffy. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until buns are light golden-brown; remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack.

NOTE: Makes nine 4 1/2 to 5-inch buns or twelve 3 1/2 to 4-inch buns which, once cooled, may be stored airtight in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen if desired.

in slivers about 1/4 inch thick, and dipped into a mixture of fresh chopped
gingerroot, grated horseradish and mustard. We add dishes of very fresh greens,
turning the Sashimi into a salad. If your fish is very, very fresh, your dishes
colorful and attractively arranged, and if you accompany your first bite of
raw fish with a generous mouthful of crisp greens, you will probably be able
to overcome your prejudices and discover what the Japanese have known for centuries:
fish doesn't have to be cooked to taste good. INSTRUCTIONS: Set out the slivered
fish, 3 dishes of seasonings and salad greens and let everyone mix his own sauce,
