Joong: Chinese Tamale RECIPE FROM: TRADITIONAL CANTONESE RECIPE THAT IS MADE IN JUNE TO CELEBRATE THE ANNUAL DRAGON BOAT FESTIVA RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: DARREN CHAN

Soak the bamboo leaves overnight to remove any impurities that can spoil the joong, the glutinous rice overnight, the mung beans overnight in water (make sure there is plenty of water as they will expand), and the dried scallops overnight

Place joong leaves in large stockpot or Dutch oven. Cover with water and place on stove over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 30 minutes. Drain leaves and rinse with cold water. Using a vegetable brush, take one leaf and scrub each side and rinse again under running water. Trim off stem using kitchen shears and discard. Repeat until all the leaves are scrubbed, rinsed and trimmed. Put leaves in colander and set aside.

For the lap cheong

Rinse lap cheong under cold running water and drain. Cut each lap cheong in half crosswise. Split each half lengthwise twice into quarters (you should get 8 pieces out of each lap cheong). Set aside.

You will be using this leaf to close everything up.Take outer edge of third leaf and fold it towards the center, sealing the joong. The joong should now be sealed at one end and open at the other.

If using cooked salted duck egg yolks: Cut each yolk in half and set aside. Place shrimp and scallops in separate small bowls. Wash three times in cold water drain. Cover completely with water and let soak for fifteen minutes. drain and set aside. Shred scallops into strips and set aside.

Add mung beans to rice and toss to combine.

To Assemble

Take two whole joong leaves of approximately the same size. Make sure there are no tears or rips in leaves. Leaves should curve in same direction. Take one joong leaf in each hand holding it horizontally in front of you while making sure the ends match each other. Overlap edge of one leaf onto center spine of other leaf. Hold overlapping leaves together with your thumb in the center of the leaves and fold in half. Fold bottom half inch of leaf upwards and tuck under thumb to create pocket inside leaves for joong. Hold the folded leaves in one hand and then use the other hand to open the leaves to make the pocket inside. Holding leaves firmly, place 3 tablespoons rice mixture in pocket. Add once piece cured pork belly, half an egg yolk, three shrimp, three strands scallops and one piece lap cheong to center of rice. Cover filling with another 3

Smooth out leaves towards open end and then gather all the ends, fold them towards the center and hold down with your thumb. Be firm, but do not rip or tear leaves. If leaves tear, start over. Secure the with kitchen twine by making several loops around joong and securing with knot. Pat finished joong with hands on both sides to compact. Repeat until joong leaves and filling are finished. Excess joong leaves can be dried at room temperature on a wire cooling rack and reused Layer finished joong in a large stockpot and cover with water. Place on stove over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, topping up pot with boiling water to keep joong submerged and rotating joong every hour to promote even cooking. Remove joong and drain in colander set in sink. Allow to rest for ten minutes. Cut open parcels and serve immediately with soy sauce. Extra joong can be stored in refrigerator for up to one week or in freezer for several months. To reheat, place in simmering water until heated through.

Korean Barbecue Short Ribs (Kalbi) RECIPE FROM: JOYCE WASHINGTON

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: PAUL WASHINGTON

Serves: 6 - 8 Combine all ingredients except for ribs in a large bowl or plastic bag, make sure the bag is big enough that it can fit the ribs in later. Mix all ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Submerge ribs in the marinade making sure they are completely covered. Meat can be touching but make sure to mix it so that the marinade gets in between the ribs. Cover the bowl or close the bag with no air so that the marinade is always touching the ribs. Refrigerate for 4 hours, but the longer the better, letting it marinate overnight is highly recommended. Half way through resting, or in the morning if doing overnight, make sure to turn the meat or flip and mix around the plastic bag so that all parts are getting an even marinade. Remove from marinade, wipe or shake off excess marinade on meat, too much excess soy sauce, sesame seeds, or sugar on the outside of meat can burn and give a different flavored than desired. Cook on a preheated grill for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until meat is at desired doneness. Finish up by garnishing with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, though not required.

Pineapple Poi

2 teaspoons xanthan gum 4 cups fresh pineapple chunks

Taro Chips

1 small taro root Vegetable oil for frying Salt

Hamachi Poke with Pineapple Poi & Taro Chips RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: JAMES BUTLER

Poi (pronounced “POY”) is traditionally made of taro root cooked and pounded to a sticky paste. Here t he “poi” is made wit h pineapple, wit h xant han g um giving it its sticky qualit y, and t he taro is made into a chip served alongside.

Serves 6 people In a medium nonreactive bowl, combine the oil, sake, mirin, lemon juice, ginger, and onion. Whisk together. Season with salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind the sea beans will also be salty). Add the hamachi and sea beans. Gently toss with a rubber spatula to completely coat the fish and sea beans with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to combine while you make the pineapple poi and taro chips. Place ¼ cup water in a blender, followed by the xanthan gum. Add the pineapple chunks and blend on high speed until the pineapple is pureed and the mixture is smooth with a sticky consistency. Transfer to a container, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. Peel the taro root and slice very thinly with a sharp knife or mandoline. Place the slices in large bowl of cold water to keep them from discoloring.

In a large heavy pot, heat about 3 inches of oil to 350째F. Drain the taro slices and pat dry completely. Add the slices to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until crisp and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Cool completely before serving. Place large spoonfuls of the pineapple poi on serving dishes. Using a slotted spoon, ladle the hamachi poke over the pineapple and sprinkle with sea salt. Place a couple of taro chips alongside.

Moscow Mule RECIPE FROM: HTTP://WWW.COCKTAILTIMES.COM/VODKA/ MOSCOWMULE.SHTML RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: EMMA DOWLING INSTRUCTIONS? OVER ICE? Histor y The story of t he Moscow Mule begins in 1939 when a nearly broke Russian ex-pat, Rudolph Kunett, sold t he Smirnoff brand to Joh n Martin, head of G.F. Heublein & Bros. Event ually Joh n Martin used t he Moscow Mule to help promote vodka to bars across t he US and t his helped f uel t he mainstream acceptance of vodka as t he preferred white spirit, replacing gin. Martin set off to market t he Moscow Mule in t he bars around t he country. He bought one of t he first Polaroid cameras and asked barmen to pose wit h a Moscow Mule copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. Then he would leave one copy of t he photo at t he bar and take a second copy to t he bar next door to show t hem t hat t heir competitors were selling t heir concoction. Bet ween 1947 and 1950, t han k s to t heir invention, Smirnoff vodka case columns more t han tripled and nearly doubled in 1951. The Moscow Mule took heat for t he Russian association. Assuming t hat Smirnoff was a Russian import, unionized bartenders in New York an nounced a Moscow Mule boycott, ref using to “shove slave labor liquor across t he wood in any American saloon.” Smirnoff rushed to testif y t hat its vodka was not, and never had been a member of t he Communist Part y. In support, Walter Winchell wrote in 1951, “The Moscow Mule is US made, so don’t be political when you’re t hirst y. Three are enough, however, to make you wan na fight pro-Communists.”

Buckeye Brownie Cookies with Easy Fudge Frosting RECIPE FROM: COOKIESANDCUPS.COM

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: CHELSEA LIGHTFOOT

Makes approximately 24 cookies Preheat oven to 350° Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together, it will be very thick and sticky. I used my hands. Form rounded tablespoons sized portions of dough into balls, placing on baking sheet about 2 inches apart, making an indentation with your thumb in the center of each. In another bowl stir together peanut butter and powdered sugar. Form peanut butter into teaspoon sized balls and press into the indentations in the brownie cookies. Press peanut butter down slightly because the peanut butter won’t spread and you don’t want the cookies to be too tall. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set, then let cool until they are room temperature. When cooled, top each cookie with about a tablespoon of chocolate frosting and a pinch of sea salt flakes.

2 cups all-purpose flour

Browned Butter Spoon Cookies

¾ teaspoon baking powder

RECIPE FROM: FOOD NETWORK KITCHENS

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

Pinch fine salt

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: MADISON MAR

1 large egg yolk

Yield: about 32 sandwiched cookies

¾ cup sugar

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract ¼– 1 ⁄ 3 cup raspberry jam Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Melt the butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter browns lightly and smells slightly nutty, about 15 minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium bowl—be sure to get all the tasty brown bits— and cool slightly. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in another medium bowl. Whisk the egg yolk, sugar and vanilla into the cooled browned butter. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture to make a uniform but crumbly dough that looks like wet sand. Scoop out dough with a small teaspoon (the kind you set the table with, not the ones you measure with). Rock spoon gently back and forth against the side of the bowl, packing the dough into the spoon, then scrape/slide the spoon against the inside of the bowl to make spoon shaped cookies. Trim excess dough with your fingers and slide out onto the prepared pans, preserving their shape. Bake cookies until just browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool almost completely on the baking sheets, and then transfer cookies to a rack to cool. When cool, spread ½ teaspoon jam on the flat side of a cookie, and then sandwich together with a second cookie. Repeat until all cookies have met their match. Lightly dust the cookies with the confectioners’ sugar.

Grandma’s Swedish Pancakes RECIPE FROM: LAVINA DENATALE RECIPE SUBMITTED BY: REBECCA REID

This recipe was is a family heirloom passed down from my grandmot her, to my mot her, and t hen to me. This recipe is one of my favorites and reminds me of my grandmot her’s homest yle cook ing and is a perfect and sweet break fast treat.

Set a large non-stick saucepan on medium heat and coat with non-stick spray. Wisk together the eggs in a large bowl and then add milk. Then, in a separate bowl combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in this mixture little by little to the eggs and milk, until there are no clumps and the batter is creamy. Add a few tablespoons (depending on how large your pan is) to your heated saucepan and swivel the saucepan around so the batter covers the entire bottom portion of the pan. This should be a thin coating on the saucepan and should rise up to the edges a little bit. Flip the pancake when the thin edges start to brown by using a large spatula after delicately peeling the edges, and then the whole pancake from the pan. It should be a very light brown color on the side now facing up. After a little more time when the edges start to get crisp, roll the pancake up and place it on a warm plate. Serve with powdered sugar and melted butter and lemon juice mixture. Also add on any topping of your choice like fruit, nutella, peanut butter, syrup, jam, etc. Makes about 3 servings
