Some cooks are surprised to see ketchup used in
Chinese cooking. They might be less surprised if they
knew that the name (and the condiment) came from Asia
in the first place. “Ketjap” (or “kecap”, both
pronounced the same) is a Malay word meaning “seasoned
Sauce.”

Preparation:

Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper and set aside.

Combine sweet and sour sauce ingredients in a medium
bowl and set aside.

Place flour, egg and cornstarch in separate bowls.
Coat each piece of fish with flour, shaking off
excess. Dip fish in egg, then dredge with cornstarch.
Set aside for 10 minutes.

Cooking:

Set wok in a ring stand and add oil to a depth of
about 2 inches. Over high heat, bring oil to 360
deg.F. Add fish,a few pieces at a time, and cook for 4
minutes or until golden brown. Lift out and drain on
paper towels. Keep warm in a 200 deg.F oven while
cooking remaining fish.

Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Add
carrot and green onion and cook for 30 seconds. Add
cornstarch solution and cook, stirring until sauce
boils and thickens.

Pour sauce on a platter. Arrange fish over sauce and
serve immediately.

Chili Bean Soup

Recipe By : California Dry Bean Advisory Board
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:15
Categories : Legume Spicy
Soups/Stews

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound pink beans — uncooked
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
10 fl. ounces beef broth — or chicken broth
1 16 oz. can canned stewed tomatoes
5/8 ounce chili seasoning mix

Soak beans by the preferred method. (For each pound of California dry beans ad
d 10 cups hot water. You may add up to 2 teaspoons of salt per pound of beans
to help the beans absorb water more evenly. Heat to boiling, let boil 2 to 3 m
inutes. Remove from heat, cover and set aside for at least 1 hour, but prefera
bly 4 hours or more. The longer soaking time is recommended to allow a greater
amount of sugars to dissolve, thus helping the beans to be more easily digeste
d. Always discard the soak water.) Drain and empty them into a large pot. Add
6 to 8 cups boiling water, garlic and onion salt, thyme, marjoram. Cover and
simmer until beans are tender (2 1/2 to 3 hours.) Don’t let beans boil dry. Ad
d hot water as needed. Spoon out 3 cups of the cooked beans to use another day
in another way. Mash rest of beans with their liquid. Add remaining ingredie
nts, plus 1 cup hot water. Heat at least 10 minutes to blend flavors.
