On the menu: Grilled Chicken Hearts and Scallion Pancakes!
Let's start with the meat.
Chicken hearts
Marinade:
Soy Sauce
Shaoxing Cooking Wine
Five Spice Powder
Garlic Powder
Sugar
Then skewered and grilled or broiled in the oven (if there's 6 inches of snow outside)
Meat on a stick is at least twice as good as regular meat!
This was followed by Scallion Pancakes.
A simple dough rolled out thin.
1 cup Flour
1 Egg
1/2 cup Water
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
1-2 teaspoons Salt
1 tablespoon Butter
Mix together and roll out half the dough (see above)
Brush with Vegetable Oil and cover with sliced Scallions (Green Onion)
Roll the whole thing up!
Slice into 2 inch pieces and then stand them up on end and smoosh them down
(smoosh is a technical cooking term)
Roll them out with a rolling pin till they're about 3-4 inches in diameter and pan fry in oil on medium-high heat
(not crazy hot, because you have to let them cook through before they burn)
A minute or two per side (depending on how golden brown you want it)
Deliciously crisp and flaky
Use a dipping sauce if you want:
Soy Sauce
Toasted Sesame Oil
Chili Garlic Paste
These are great hot off the stove....don't let them sit around too long!
