1/2 Head Chinese cabbage or 1

14 oz Cans (5 1/4 cups) chicken

3 Chicken bouillon cubes
1 tb Monosodium glutamate

-teaspoon ground ginger

Midnight supper, perhaps for New Year’s Eve or after
the show, can be exotic in a hurry. The foods are
sliced ahead, the sauces made, then all stowed in the
refrigerator. When guests are hungry, the hostess
simply heats the broth and sets out the makings.

Genghis Khan hot pot is another name for this Chinese
specialty. Or maybe you’ve seen it on restaurant menus
as volcano soup. We show an honest-to-goodness
Mongolian cooker with a charcoal chimney in the
center, but any chafing dish or electric skillet will
do as well.

What’s cooking. Everything on the tray is raw, of
course–chunks of eggplant, crosscut strips of
sirloin, halved mushrooms, thin slices of chicken
breast, squares of Chinese cabbage, shucked shrimp.
Fresh spinach to simmer along with the other foods is
ready in the big red bowl. The broth is chicken
bouillon that boasts a faint overtone of ginger.
Individual bowls of fluffy rice are served at the same
time as Hot Pot.

The how-to. You pick out a few choice tidbits at a
time and drop them from chopsticks, bamboo tongs, or
fork into the lazily bubbling broth. In a few minutes,
fish them out to dip into zesty sauces on your plate,
like Peanut or Red Sauce, Chinese Mustard or Ginger
Soy.

Traditionalists poach eggs in the broth when it has
taken on subtle flavor from the foods that have
simmered in it. At the very last, the hostess may
ladle the broth as a soup. It’s delicious! Dessert?
Skip it, or serve a fruit bowl and candied ginger with
coffee or tea.

Etiquette: Use one set of chopsticks for cooking and
fishing out morsels from Hot Pot, use a second set for
eating. If only one set is provided for each guest,
simply reverse your chopsticks (large ends down) when
you cook or help yourself to food.

Oriental Hot Pot

Chinese Mustard Ginger Soy Peanut Sauce Red Sauce Hot
cooked rice

Shortly before cooking time arrange the meats and
vegetables on large tray or platter; use a bowl for
spinach. Set out dunking sauces. Provide Bamboo tongs,
chopsticks or long-handled forks as cooking tools for
guests.

Heat chicken broth in electric skillet or chafing dish
(or use Mongolian cooker– directions follow). Add
bouillon cubes to hot broth and stir to dissolve; add
monosodium glutamate and ginger. Heat to simmering.
For cooking have broth barely bubbling. Each Guest
picks up desired foods with chopsticks or whatever,
drops them into the bubbling broth. When his tidbits
are cooked, he lifts them out and dips into the sauces
on his plate. Serve with rice. Makes 4 servings.

To use Mongolian cooker, fill chimney of cooker with
charcoal and add charcoal starter. Pour cold chicken
broth into cooker. Cover cooker, then light charcoal.
When broth is hot, continue as above.

Title: Special Chicken
Categories: Chinese, Chicken, Wings, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 servings

1 1/2 lb Chicken wings, cut-up into
-segments at joints.

MMMMM————————–MARINADE——————————-

MMMMM————————-A MIXTURE——————————
2 tb Soy sauce
1 ts Sugar
1 tb Sherry wine
A few gratings of fresh
-ginger
2 ts Hoisin sauce
1 Clove garlic, minced
1/4 ts Sesame oil
1 ts Salt
ds MSG (optional)

MMMMM————————-B MIXTURE——————————
2 Eggs
1/2 c Cornstarch
1/2 c Flour
Oil for deep frying
Lettuce leaves, shredded

Green onion, Chinese parsley and cashew nuts, all chopped, for
garnish This is one of the better deep-fried chicken recipes I’ve
found. It calls for chicken wings, but I used a whole chicken, cut
up Chinese style and just increased the marinade ingredients a tad.

Serve this with side dishes of hoisin sauce, spiced salt (toasted salt
mixed with black pepper about half and half), hot mustard and chili
oil along with a bowl of finely chopped scallions. Dip piece of
chicken into the dip of your choice, then into the scallions and
enjoy! Ice cold beer goes great with this dish. Oh yeah++steamed
rice too…

Be sure to use the dark, toasted sesame oil rather than the health
food store stuff.

1. Soak cut-up chicken in marinade ingredients A for 1 hour. Mix
ingredients B into bowl with marinated chicken. Stir well. Will be
very sticky and stiff to mix.

2. Heat 2 inches oil in wok to 375F. Drop batter covered chicken
piece by piece carefully into hot oil. Do not fill wok too full of
chicken or it will take too long to brown. Should take only 5
minutes to cook through. Result will be crispy golden brown chicken
pieces.

3. Drain on paper towels. Place on platter lined with lettuce
shreds.

4. Garnish if desired with chopped green onions, Chinese parsley and
cashew nuts.
