Surf And Turf Noodle Hot Pot With Herb Puree Food

SURF AND TURF BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan.
• Mix together the garlic powder, black pepper and salt until well blended.
• Form the ground beef into 4 burger patties and sprinkle each side with some of the seasoning mixture. Lightly oil the grill and grill the burgers until brown on both sides. Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining seasoning mixture and grill alongside the burgers until pink on both sides.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saute pan. Saute the spinach until slightly wilted, then remove and set aside. Saute the crabmeat pan in the same pan, stirring until all the lumps are coated with the remaining butter, about 1 minute. Remove the crab and set aside.
• When the burgers have reached their desired temperature, place the spinach and then the crabmeat on top of each burger (while still on the grill). Firmly place a provolone slice on top of the crabmeat. Briefly grill the tomato slices on each side, then place on top of the provolone, followed by 3 shrimp and then another slice of the provolone. Remove the burgers from the grill when the provolone cheese has melted, place on the kaiser rolls and enjoy!

WONTON NOODLE SOUP WITH FIVE SPICE BEEF SHANK (MOM)

Steps:

• Heat the stock in a stock pot with the ginger and reduce by 20 percent. Add the bok choy, white pepper, and soy sauce. Cook for 3 minutes until bok choy is soft. Check for seasoning. Place the hot noodles in 4 large bowls and top with stock and bok choy. Place sliced beef on top. Garnish with scallions, cilantro, and drizzle with sesame oil.
• Prepare a large non-stick stock-pot coated with oil over high heat. Add the crushed pepper, ginger, and garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Place the beef in the stock-pot and cook, covered about 4 minutes on each side. Add the soy sauce, red wine, five spice powder, salt, star anise, cinnamon, and rock candy and bring the mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat and let simmer for 2 1/2 hours turning the shank every 20 minutes. Remove the shank from the pot and let cool before slicing and adding to the Wonton Noodle Soup.

HOT POT WITH CRAB WONTONS

Steps:

• To make the soup: Remove the claws from the crabs and quarter the bodies. In a large stockpot, add the oil, ginger, shallots, and chile for 2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the crabs and miso. Cover with 1 gallon of cold water and place over medium heat; simmer for 30 minutes. In the meantime, you can focus on assembling the wontons.
• Heat a skillet over medium flame and coat with the peanut oil; add the ginger, shallot, and carrot, saute for 2 minutes to soften. Put the lump crabmeat in a mixing bowl and scrape in the ginger mixture. Fold in the green onion, cilantro, mayonnaise, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to mash the crabmeat, you want that texture when you bite into the wonton.
• Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and brush with the beaten egg white. Drop 1 tablespoon of the crab filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the wonton in half, corner to corner, to form a triangle. Press around the filling to knock out any air bubbles, then press the seam together to seal so the filling doesn't seep out. Brush the 2 side points with beaten egg white. Lay your index finger in the center so you have something to press up against, then fold the 2 sides into the center, slightly overlapping, and press the dough against your finger with your thumb to form a tight seal. Lightly dust the filled wontons with cornstarch to keep them from sticking together and place them on a cookie sheet. When these are folded they look like Pope hats.
• When the wontons are all filled and folded, strain the soup broth to remove the solids and pour it into the hot pot. Bring the soup to a simmer. Toss in the shiitake mushrooms and the wontons; simmer for 15 minutes until the wontons are cooked. Add the lime juice and cilantro; ladle into soup bowls and serve.
