SWEET AND SOUR DIPPING SAUCE



Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce image

A great sauce for dipping almost any Asian inspired dish in! Should you desire a thicker consistency than what this recipe yields, dissolve another 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cold water. Once dissolved, stir the mixture into the sauce and continue to heat and whisk until sauce thickens.

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons grill seasoning (recommended Montreal Seasoning by McCormick)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (a handful)
8 sheets phyllo dough
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sweet plum sauce or 2 tablespoons Chinese duck sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup light oil (such as peanut, canola, or vegetable oil)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup finely diced mango (optional)
1 scallion, green tops only, thinly sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • For the chicken cigars: Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place chicken in a bowl and mix with spices and parsley. (I actually used my food processor to shred/chop chicken and mix in the spices and it worked nicely--use it to chop the parsley first and then add other ingredients).
  • Place a piece of phyllo on a nonstick cookie sheet and brush with some of the melted butter. Repeat 3 more times, placing each of phyllo over the last buttered sheet to make 4 layers. Cut layered phyllo into 16 rectangles (4 x 4).
  • On one end of each of the rectangles, place a heaping tablespoon of chicken filling. Roll up tightly to make mini "cigars". Cut each of these in half and place on a cookie sheet. (They should overlap slightly on the bottom--they will stay together nicely if you press them gently after you place them on the cookie sheet). Butter the tops of each.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Repeat with second half of phyllo sheets and chicken mixture.
  • Make the sweet and sour dipping sauce by whisking together plum or duck sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Stream in oil and continue whisking to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in mango and sliced scallions.
  • Serve either hot or at room temperature with dipping sauce.

Time 38m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound ground chicken
2 shallots, chopped
2 teaspoons Marsala wine
1 tablespoon paprika
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 (16 ounce) package frozen phyllo dough, thawed
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
¾ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ground chicken, shallots, wine, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Lay out one phyllo sheet on a clean surface, and brush with a light layer of melted butter. Place another sheet on top. Form a 1/2 inch thick strip of the chicken mixture along the long side of the sheets of dough. Roll up like a long cigar, dabbing the end of the dough with a little butter to seal. Cut into 3 inch sections to make cigars. You should get 3 cigars per roll. Place the cigars in a baking dish, and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Bake for 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the rolls are deep golden brown and crispy.
  • While the cigars are baking, whisk together the cream, sour cream, paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir just until the sauce is hot. Do not boil. Remove from heat and serve as a dipping sauce for the cigars.
