THE BEST BEEF STEW - SAM CHOY



The Best Beef Stew - Sam Choy image

This recipe is from Cooking From the Heart by Sam Choy. A few years ago Sam Choy had a restaurant hidden in the middle of the Industrial area in Kona, on the Big Island. It wasn't big on atmosphere, but the food was wonderful and very popular. I've had this stew there and it's truly a favorite of mine. Mochiko is a sweet rice flour.

SAM CHOY'S BEST BEEF STEW



SAM CHOY'S BEST BEEF STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Simmer

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds chuck roast, cut up
½ cup salad oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small onion, minced
½ cup celery leaves
5 cups beef stock, or broth
2 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups tomato paste
3 medium carrots, chunked
4 potatoes, chunked
2 medium onions, chunked
4 stalks celery, chunked
enough flour to dust meat (about 1 cup)
salt and pepper to taste
enough mochiko and water to thicken

Steps:

  • Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. Brown meat with garlic, minced onion and celery leaves about 10 minutes on medium or low-medium, until well browned. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Drain oil. Add beef and chicken broth and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cover and let cook about 1 hour, or until beef is tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before coating it in the mochiko flour. This will help the flour adhere to the chicken and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand when coating the chicken: Don't over-coat the chicken in mochiko flour, or it will become too thick and heavy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) before frying the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the chicken in batches to prevent it from overcrowding the pan. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy: Fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and crispy. You can also use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce: Mochiko chicken is traditionally served with a dipping sauce made from shoyu (Japanese soy sauce), mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine), and grated ginger. You can also serve it with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Mochiko chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a popular dish in Hawaii, but it is also enjoyed by people all over the world.
