BROYSTER SAUTEE WITH TUNA DUMPLING

December 8, 2009

Tell a girl what to do when she feels like relaxing with a good meal but not too much work. Definitely not a microwave meal or take out, and loosen up in front of a TV like a coach potato! So to make that happen, I whipped up one of my many favorites; broccoli, oyster mushroom and shrimps paired with tuna dumpling. Here’s to my robust seafood evening!

BROYSTER SAUTEE

3 tbsp EVOO

1 tbsp minced garlic

½ C chopped white onion

1 medium size vine tomato (cut in quarters)

3 medium size of broccoli (cut in florets)

1 C shrimp, raw, deveined, shelled

1 C chopped oyster mushroom

2 tbsp of Campbell’s cream of chicken (dissolved in ½ cup of Swanson broth chicken)

Salt n pepper to taste

Heat EVOO in a wok, add garlic and onion, cook till they are slightly brown.  Add tomatoes and stir for 5 minutes. Then add chopped oyster mushrooms, broccoli and dissolved cream of chicken. Let sit for 3 mins before adding shrimps. Cover and let sauce comes to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, serve immediately.

TUNA DUMPLING

(A)

1 ½ tuna steak

1 tbsp of ginger

¼ cup of onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 tsp of sambal olek

1 tbsp of soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

15 pcs wonton wrappers

1 egg white dissolved in ½ C water

Filling:

Add (A) in a food processor, pulse until they are evenly incorporated.

*Do not blend mixture*

Place the wonton wrapper on a dry chopping board, add a 1tsp tuna filing in the middle of the wrapper, brush the four corners of the wonton wrappers with egg wash, fold wonton into a triangle shape. Do not overfill the wonton as it may burst open during boiling.

Fill a pan with 1 qt of water, bring to boil, add dumplings. Be reminded not to overcrowd them to allow even cooking. Dumplings are cooked when they float onto the surface.

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with broyster sautee
