Dragon Pepper Sauce Food

SMOKED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine peppers, onion, garlic, vinegar, honey, mustard, chipotle and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified. Strain sauce into a bowl.
• Cook's Note: This classic sauce is great on grilled veggies, chicken, fish and steak.

DRAGON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the chicken breast in a bowl and add the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Blend together. Preheat remaining vegetable oil in the wok to 325 degrees F, then add marinated chicken and cook for approximately 4 minutes. Add the broccoli, mushrooms, snap peas, peppers and carrots, and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Drain the oil, then set chicken and vegetables aside.
• Continue to heat the wok to 325 degrees F, then add garlic, whiskey and heavy cream. Heat for 30 seconds, then add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Cajun seasoning, lobster base, sugar and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to boil, about 3 minutes. Add back in chicken and vegetables. Toss in the heated wok for 1 minute.

DRAGON EGGS

Steps:

• For the dragon sauce and fried garlic garnish: In a medium saucepan, add the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and Worcestershire and bring to a boil; set aside.
• In a separate medium frying pan, heat the oil to medium, add the chopped garlic and fry until golden. Strain the oil and hold the garlic until ready to plate.
• For the dumplings: Put the ground pork in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil, oyster sauce, soy seasoning sauce, sugar, black pepper, minced garlic, eggs and 1/4 cup water and mix thoroughly. Blend the shrimp in a food processor to a coarse texture. Gently combine the crab meat and ground shrimp with the pork mixture.
• Start heating water in the bottom of steamer on the stovetop to bring to a boil.
• To prepare the dumplings: Lay out the wonton skins on a flat surface, about 10 at a time, and place a heaping tablespoon of the meat-seafood mixture onto the center of each. Fold and form the wonton skin up and around the mixture to create a bite-size dragon egg. Leave the top open so the meat-seafood mixture is visible.
• Generously coat the bottom of a steamer basket with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings into the steamer basket; it's OK if they touch each other. Once the tray is full, brush a thin layer of vegetable oil onto all the dumplings, then place the basket on the base of the steamer which should be full of boiling water. Steam each layer until clear droplets form on the dragon eggs, about 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
• When ready to serve, Place 6 dumplings on a plate and pour some sauce over top. Place a jalapeno wheel on top of each dragon egg and sprinkle on some fried garlic. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy.
