Hung Chong Chinese Chive and Oil Stir-Fry



The first time I seasoned a wok without problems, I used this recipe, which I learned at the Hung Chong wok shop in New York's Chinatown. Make sure the chives are very dry after washing to prevent the oil from spattering. One bunch of scallions cut into 3-inch pieces and 1/2 cup sliced ginger can be substituted for the chives in this recipe. Scallions and ginger are said to remove the wok's metallic taste. Smell the wok after seasoning ? the metal will have a strong fragrance from the aromatics.





1/2 bunch Chinese chives (about 7 ounces)

2 tablespoons peanut oil







Wash the inside and outside of the wok with hot water, using a stainless-steel scrubber and liquid dishwashing soap. Rinse with hot water. Dry the wok with paper towels, and then place over low heat 1 to 2 minutes until the pan is totally dry. Cut the chives into 2-inch pieces.

Open the window and turn the exhaust fan on high. Heat the wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes with 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in the oil and add the chives. Reduce the heat to medium and stir-fry 5 minutes, pushing the mixture up the sides of the wok to the edge. If the mixture becomes dry, add additional tablespoons of oil. Remove from the heat. Cool. Discard the chives. The wok is seasoned and ready for cooking.



Wash wok with hot water. Dry over low heat, 1 to 2 minutes.

To form spring rolls:

Spring roll wrappers

1 egg with 1 tablespoon each water and cornstarch, beaten together for egg wash

Peanut oil, for deep-frying



Prepare the Hot Chinese Mustard Sauce. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the oil. Stir until well blended. Slowly whisk in the peanut oil until emulsified. Refrigerate, covered until needed.

Prepare the aromatic mixture. In a food processor, combine the ginger, garlic, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Turn on machine, slowly add oil, and process mixture to a puree. Saute mixture for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.

Prepare the filling. In a wok, stir-fry each vegetable separately in peanut oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.

When ready to form the spring rolls, squeeze out all the excess liquid.

Hong Kong Salmon Cakes with Baby Bok Choy



Salmon Cakes:

1/4 cup peanut oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 shallot, minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 to 2 red or green chiles, minced

1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless salmon fillets, cut in small cubes

1 cup fresh bread crumbs (4 slices white bread with crusts removed pulsed in the food processor)

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 lemon, juiced

1 large egg white

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons peanut oils

Bok Choy:

2 tablespoons peanut oil

2-inch piece fresh ginger

2 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise

1/4 cup water

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup oyster sauce

1/2 lemon, juiced

1 tablespoon brown sugar



Toasted sesame seeds, chopped cilantro leaves, and sliced green onion, for garnish





To make the salmon cakes: Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallot, ginger, and chiles; saute for a few minutes to release the flavor. Remove from heat to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon, bread crumbs, cilantro, mayonnaise, lemon juice and egg white. Scrape the garlic/ginger oil into the salmon mixture; season with salt and pepper. Fold the ingredients together gently but thoroughly, taking care not to mash the salmon too much. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 salmon cakes, they should be moist and just hold together.

Coat a non-stick skillet with the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil and bring it to a slight smoke over medium heat. Fry the salmon cakes until brown, about 4 minutes on each side, turning carefully with a spatula. Keep warm on a plate lined with paper towels.



To make the bok choy: Return the skillet to the heat and coat with the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil and heat until almost smoking. Split the piece of ginger open with a knife then whack it with the flat side of the knife. Lay the ginger pieces in the oil, cut-side down to let it start to perfume. Pan-fry the bok choy, cut-side down, for a couple of minutes to give it some color. Add the water and cook another minute to steam the bok choy; carefully remove it to a plate. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Cook and stir for 3 minutes until the sauce is the consistency of syrup.



Serve the salmon cakes with the bok choy, and drizzle the brown sauce over the whole thing. Garnish the dish with the toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, and green onion.
