PORK SCHNITZEL WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Pork Schnitzel with Dipping Sauce image

A pan-fried, moist, and tender pork cutlet that will melt in your mouth. Serve with a wedge of lemon and the accompanied dipping sauce and you're in German Heaven!

Provided by EPRUETZ

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Pan Fried

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground paprika
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Place the pork chops between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Trim any fat from the edges, and make a few small slits along the edge to prevent the pork from curling during cooking.
  • Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl until well blended, then mix the panko bread crumbs and paprika together in a third bowl. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture one at a time, then dip them into the egg mixture followed by the panko mixture.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange no more than two pork chops in the skillet at a time, cooking until the meat is golden brown no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place the pork chops in a warm oven to keep warm.
  • Pour the chicken stock into the skillet used to cook the pork. Reduce the heat to low, and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. As the stock simmers, mix the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sour cream together in a bowl. Whisk about 1/4 cup of the hot stock into the sour cream mixture, then pour it back into the skillet. Heat until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Serve with the pork chops.

NUOC CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)



Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce) image

My personal take on a traditional dipping sauce. A little bit sweet, but mostly savory with a nice bit of heat. I make this a minimum of 24 hours before I use it to let the flavors mingle. Leftover sauce can be kept for three to four weeks in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If this isn't to your taste as written, experiment! Everyone's tastes are different! Some like their nuoc cham really sweet and mild, some like it tangy with heat. Mine tends to be more towards the tangy heat side. So, before you add the garlic, onion, and vinegar, sample it and adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your liking. Keep in mind that this recipe is LOUD when you first make it. The flavors mingle and mature a bit after the first 24 hours. I hope you enjoy!

CHICKEN POT STICKERS WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Chicken Pot Stickers with Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed and for dusting
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup boiling water
1 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 scallions, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Flavorless oil, for frying
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 scallion, finely chopped
A pinch of crushed dried red pepper

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large heatsafe bowl. Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring, until you have a coarse meal mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water to form a dough.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let sit for 20 minutes.
  • For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chicken broth, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, salt, scallions and a bunch of turns of pepper.
  • To assemble the dumplings, divide the dough into 24 balls. Roll them out into 4-inch circles, flouring the surface as needed. Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of each and fold in half to make a half-moon shape, pleating the edges to seal well.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Boil the dumplings in batches for 4 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon, allowing excess water to drip off, then transfer to the hot oil (be careful because this step can get spitty). Cook until the dumplings are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and let cool slightly. Alternatively, to steam the dumplings, line a bamboo steamer with blanched cabbage and steam over boiling water until the filling is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, scallion and red pepper.
  • Serve the dumplings with the dipping sauce

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Pretzel Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
3 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons canola oil
5 quarts water

  • Mix yeast and brown sugar in a small bowl; add warm water, and whisk until sugar dissolves. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour and salt together in a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add canola oil and gradually pour in the yeast mixture, kneading until smooth and silky, 4 to 5 minutes. If the dough is very sticky, knead in more flour.
  • Shape dough into a ball and transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Punch down the dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten into a rectangle and cut into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a stick about 7 inches long. Place sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; let rest uncovered for about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Pour about 5 quarts of water in a large, deep pot; stir in baking soda. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Carefully place pretzel sticks in the simmering water in batches for 30 seconds, flipping after 15 seconds. Remove from water and let drain on paper towels.
  • Transfer the sticks back to the baking sheet. Brush lightly with butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with the honey mustard dipping sauce.

CHINESE STEAMED DUMPLINGS WITH DIPPING SAUCE



Chinese Steamed Dumplings with Dipping Sauce image

I used to love this Chinese-restaurant appetizer so much that my mother reverse-engineered the recipe. These dumplings have an interesting taste and are great for parties. They also freeze well. Hope you enjoy them--it's worth the work involved.

Provided by Myra9035

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h20m

Yield 15 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
water (enough for a thick, bread-like dough)
1/2 lb ground pork
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, finely-chopped
1/4 cup peas (thawed if frozen)
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar (rice vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients for dipping sauce and set aside.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl.
  • Put the flour and salt in another large bowl, piled up.
  • Make a dent in the top of the pile, and crack the egg into it.
  • Mix the egg into the flour.
  • Add enough water to the mixture to make a thick dough.
  • The consistency should be like bread dough.
  • In any case, don't add too much water--it shouldn't be like batter at all!
  • Turn the dough out onto the flour-dusted counter, and form into a ball.
  • (It helps to flour your hands first).
  • Place the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap (cellofane).
  • Let stand 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile mix all ingredients for filling and place in the fridge.
  • Next, remove dough and place on flour-dusted counter (or work surface).
  • Knead a bit and flatten until very thin (but not see-through or falling apart).
  • Using a large, round cookie-cutter (or bottom of coffee can or top of glass) cut three-inch rounds.
  • Don't place them on top of each other, as they could stick together!
  • Knead the leftover pieces together again and cut more rounds until there's no dough left.
  • Spoon a bit of the filling into the center of each round and fold in half (to make a semi-circle shape).
  • Seal edges with a bit of water, and use tongs of a fork to decorate the edge.
  • To prepare, either steam the dumplings (if you have a steamer) for 15 mins, or boil for 10 mins.
  • If you boil, add some oil to the water and don't overcrowd the pan--make them in batches.
  • If you like, you can fry the dumplings in a skillet or wok to brown them before serving.
  • Handle gently!

Tips for Making the Perfect Dipping Sauce:

  • Balance is Key: Achieve a harmonious blend of flavors by balancing sweet, sour, salty, and umami elements in your dipping sauce. Experiment with different combinations to find the perfect equilibrium.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the taste of your sauce. Opt for fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables to ensure maximum flavor and vibrancy.
  • Adjust to Your Taste: Personalize your dipping sauce by adjusting the ingredients to suit your preferences. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add more chili or cayenne pepper. Craving a tangy kick? Add a splash of citrus juice.
  • Experiment with Different Textures: Add texture to your sauce by incorporating crunchy elements like chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy shallots. This adds an extra layer of interest and depth.
  • Serve at the Right Temperature: Consider the ideal temperature for serving your dipping sauce. Some sauces, like cheese dips, are best served warm, while others, like guacamole, are best chilled.
