Hot & Sour Soup

Those looking to enjoy the winters with healthy soups. Check out this easy Hot & Sour soup recipe

Ingredients:

Chicken Stock: 1 Liter
Chicken Boneless: 250 gms, chopped
Cornflour: 5 tbsp
Soy Sauce: 5 tbsp
Eggs: 4, white only
Salt: 1 1/2 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder: 1/2 tbsp
Tomato Paste: 2 tbsp
Cabbage: 2 cups, shredded
Carrot: 2 cups, chopped
Water: 1 liter
Lemon Juice, Fresh: 5 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder: 1 tbsp

Method:

Bring chicken stock and water to a boil in a large pot. Add tomato paste, black pepper, salt, and cook for 5 minutes. Now add the chili powder, soy sauce and chicken to the stock and cook for further 10 minutes. Remove the scum that rises to the surface with the help of a spoon. Thicken the stock by dissolving cornflour in 1 cup of water, making sure there are no lumps. Stir it into the soup. Add the lemon juice. Usually synthetic vinegar is added for sourness, but we’ll use lemon juice because it’s more nutritious and tastes so much better. With the flame turned low, add the vegetables. Beat the egg whites and pour into the pot in a thin stream. Take care not to stir for at least 2 minutes. People often make the mistake of stirring the soup too soon, but that just breaks the egg white into tiny pieces and clouds up the soup. Cloudy soup does not look very appetizing. Pour the soup into a pretty bowl and serve with small dishes of chilli sauce, soy sauce and green chilli in vinegar

Crispy Breaded Chicken Steak

Treat yourself tonight with crispy breaded chicken steak! We love this recipe, which is great for sharing with family and friends – simply add our Latif Cooking Oil.



Ingredients
2 eggs 2 cups milk, at room temperature 3 cups flour 2 teaspoons meat seasoning 2 cups frying latif cooking oil, preferably Canola 8 (6-ounce) tenderized beef cutlets at room temperature (or tenderized center cut boneless pork chop, or tenderized boneless chicken breasts) Mashed potatoes, recipe follows Mashed Potatoes: 1 pound baking potatoes, like russets, peeled and cut in quarters 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) butter 2 cups half-and-half or 1 1/2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl and set this egg wash aside. Combine the flour and meat seasoning in another bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy 14-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Use a deep frying thermometer to check temperature. The oil should pop loudly when a drop of egg is dropped in. Dip each of the first 4 cutlets in the egg wash mixture. Dredge them in the flour, then dip them back into the egg wash, and very gently place them in the hot oil. As you carry them 1 at a time from the egg wash to the skillet, hold a plate under them to catch the dripping egg wash. There'll be a regular explosion of noisy oil popping. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until breading is set and golden brown. Gently turn them with a long handled meat fork or long metal tongs. Be careful. Cook another 3 minutes. Carefully remove them from the skillet and drain on a platter lined with paper towels. Let oil reheat and repeat process for other 4 cutlets. Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Beat until smooth. Yield: 10 servings
