Chinese Tuna With Curry Chive Mayonnaise Recipes

CHINESE TUNA WITH CURRY CHIVE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For mayo, combine all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until completely incorporated. Refrigerate for later use.
• For marinade, add all ingredients in a steel bowl and stir until well combined; let sit for 2 hours for flavors to blend.
• Marinate tuna steaks in marinade for 2 hours. Grill tuna on high heat for 2 minutes on each side (do not overcook, or tuna will become dry).
• Place mayo in a plastic bag, cut off the bottom corner of bag and squeeze sauce across grilled tuna in a "zig zag" pattern.

CHINESE FISH AND LETTUCE SOUP

Steps:

• Thinly slice the boneless fish and soak in the marinade.
• Shred the lettuce and set aside.
• Cook the ginger, oil and salt just until the ginger begins to brown a little bit. Add to the soup stock and bring to a heavy simmer.
• Just prior to serving, drain the marinade from the fish and add the fish to the soup pot, all at once, along with the lettuce and the rice wine or sherry.
• Bring back to a full simmer, then remove from stove.
• Do not overcook the soup.
• Add a few drops of sesame oil and pepper for garnish, and serve immediately.

SIMPLE TUNA CURRY WITH RICE

Steps:

• Start the rice cooking.
• Over low to moderate heat, saute onion, garlic, and your vegetable of choice in butter. (If you use tuna packed in oil, you can drain the oil and use that to saute the onions.)
• Season with salt and curry powder and continue to saute until veggies are tender.
• Stir flour into vegetables until it coats them and combines with the butter/oil.
• Over moderate heat, add enough of the milk to cover the vegetables, and stir to create a smooth sauce. As the milk begins to heat, the butter/flour mixture that was coating the vegetables will begin to blend with and thicken the milk. Once it becomes thick, add half of the remaining milk, and continue stirring until it again heats to the thickening point. Then add the rest of the milk, stir again, and allow to come to the thickening point for the last time. (This process is a bit difficult to describe, but not hard to do. Adding the milk at little at a time and stirring to keep it smooth as you go keeps the sauce from forming lumps and prevents scorching. You can also do this step over low heat, in which case you don't have to stand right over the pot stirring constantly, but it's still good to add the milk in stages, and stir regularly.).
• Once the sauce is heated, add the tuna, and bring back to simmering. If the tuna is packed in oil, drain the oil (which you may have used in step one). If it's packed in water, you can just dump the whole can into the sauce, water and all.
• Serve tuna curry over rice. A green veggies side is nice (steamed asparagus or broccoli, cucumbers in vinaigrette, green salad, or peas).

COLD CHICKEN WITH CURRY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place in a deep dish and microwave for 22-25 minutes on 100% power, or until cooked. Turn over from time to time. Remove the chicken from the dish and allow to cool. Skim the fat from the liquid in the dish.
• Peel and slice the onions in rings. Place them in the cooking liquid and microwave, uncovered for 5 minutes on 100% power.
• Combine the apricot jam, curry powder, vinegar and cornflour. Stir into the onion mixture. Microwave the mixture, uncovered, for about 4 minutes on 100% power, or until thick; stir halfway through this time. Allow to cool. Stir the mayonnaise into the cold onion mixture. Arrange the cold chicken thighs on a serving platter and spoon the curried mayonnaise over them. Chill well.
