Hot And Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Additional Trivia

Beef noodle soup is a very broad culinary term that refers to any soup with beef and noodles as the main components. Almost every cuisine in the world has some kind of traditional beef noodle soup, and almost every home cook has his or her own version. Beef noodle soups are also extremely common in supermarkets all over the world as canned, dehydrated, frozen, and instant soup products. A typical beef noodle soup is a broth based soup, with beef broth as the liquid component, and some type of noodle, most often a hearty, broad noodle, such as egg noodles or kluski noodles, although other types of noodles are used in many parts of the world.

Most typical beef noodle soups begin with a base of beef broth or stock. This can come from a number of sources  from homemade beef stock to canned or instant broth from bullion cubes, paste, or granules. The beef flavor of the stock may be delicate to very rich, depending on the recipe. The stock may also be flavored with vegetable flavors such as onions, celery, carrots or savory herbs, like thyme, savory, or rosemary. In some parts of the world, such as the Far East, many exotic herbs and spices are possible.

Beef is not always used in beef noodle soup, such as the instant ramen noodle soups, although it is found in most recipes. It is generally found in most versions of this soup in the form of cubes of lean beef, such as chuck roast or stew meat, usually simmered in broth for long periods until well done, but tender. In many instant or dehydrated prepackaged soup products, the ingredients may list beef, but it is generally powdered or in very small pieces.

Noodles for beef noodle soup vary widely from cuisine to cuisine. In the Far East the noodles may be rice noodles, maifun, or more traditional pasta. In many western cuisines, the noodles are often short, broad egg noodles, or a special kind of noodle called kluski noodles, which are actually sort of an intermediary between more traditional noodles and dumplings, which are favored for soup because they tend to hold their shape and texture better than many other traditional pasta noodles. Some beef noodle soup recipes may call for other pastas, such as various macaroni or tiny pasta shapes, developed specifically for soups, called pastina.

Most recipes in almost all cuisines call for other ingredients as well. Vegetables, such as onion, celery, and carrots are most common, but in some recipes, it is possible to find fruits, nuts, or other meats as well. Herbs and spices are also common additions to beef noodle soup recipes, and may vary widely depending on the part of the world from which the recipe originates. Mushrooms are another common addition to many beef noodle soups as well.

In the far East, particularly in China and Taiwan, beef noodle soup is extremely popular, and are the basis for whole chains of restaurants and even annual festivals. It is often served as a meal by itself with lots of vegetables and long noodles. In Western and European countries, these soups are often found canned in supermarkets and made by many home cooks as simple, hearty comfort food.

Best Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients

• 8 tablespoons Japanese soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sake (rice wine)
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger

If you love the sweet, tangy teriyaki sauce served in Japanese restaurants, you can make your own delicious teriyaki sauce at home. Teriyaki sauce isn't difficult to make, and is versatile enough to use as a marinade, pasta sauce or dipping sauce. Adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.

Best Teriyaki Sauce Steps And Methods For Cooking.

1. Heat a saucepan.
2. Pour-in the soy sauce, water, and rice wine. Stir.
3. Gradually add the white and brown sugars. Stir.
4. Add the garlic and ginger. Stir and then cook until the liquid starts boiling.
5. Turn the heat off. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
6. Let the mixture pass through a strainer to trap the garlic and ginger.
7. Let cool. Serve as a sauce or use as an ingredient to cook your favorite teriyaki dish.

Method of Preparation
Traditionally, teriyaki sauce is made simply by mixing and heating four ingredients: Mirin, sugar, soy sauce, and sake (or occasionally another alcohol). These may all be in equal quantities or varied by the recipe. After being boiled and reduced to the desired thickness, the sauce is added to the meat which is marinated and then grilled or broiled. Sometimes ginger is added, and the final dish may be garnished with green onion.

The luster or shine of teriyaki comes from the mirin or sake, and from the caramelization of the sugar. Proper preparation of teriyaki involves repeated applications of the sauce during the later stages of cooking until the sauce thickens and acquires luster, but does not burn. Meat can also be marinated in the teriyaki sauce up to twenty four hours before cooking. Teriyaki dishes are usually served with steamed rice which is eaten with the excess sauce.

In other cultures, the term teriyaki is often used for any dish made with a teriyaki-like sauce, including those with additional ingredients such as garlic (which is uncommon in traditional Japanese cuisine) or sesame. Many of the bottled teriyaki sauces on the market are actually a version of the spicier Korean bulgogi sauce, which also contains hot pepper. Sometimes a meat will be grilled first and then a sauce poured on afterward, but this is not a traditional way of cooking teriyaki.

Best Teriyaki Sauce Additional Trivia

The word teriyaki is a combination of two Japanese words, teri, "luster", and yaki, "to grill or broil". The mirin in the sauce gives a good luster to meat as it is cooked. Traditionally it was used with fish. It can also be used as a marinade for pre-cooked meat and poultry, as well as a delicious baste for items on the grill or rotisserie. Teriyaki sauce is a complement to virtually any type of meat (as long as you adjust the flavors accordingly), especially steak, chicken, fish and pork.

Teriyaki is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
Fish – yellowtail, marlin, skipjack tuna, salmon, trout, and mackerel – is mainly used in Japan, while white and red meat – chicken, pork, lamb, and beef – is more often used in the West. Other ingredients sometimes used in Japan include squid, hamburger steak, and meatballs.
The word teriyaki derives from the noun ter, which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the tare and yaki , which refers to the cooking method of grilling or broiling.Traditionally the meat is dipped in or brushed with sauce several times during cooking.

Teriyaki sauce
In North America, any dish made with a teriyaki-like sauce (often even those using foreign alternatives, such as wine, to sake or mirin), or with added ingredients such as sesame or garlic (uncommon in traditional Japanese cuisine), is described as teriyaki. The sauce used for Teriyaki is generally sweet although it can also be spicy. Pineapple juice is sometimes used as it not only provides sweetness but also bromelain enzymes that help tenderize the meat. Grilling meat first and pouring the sauce on afterward or using sweet sauce as a marinade are other non-traditional methods of cooking teriyaki. Teriyaki sauce is sometimes put on chicken wings or used as a dipping sauce. 

Teriyaki Sauce History
Most of the well-known dishes of modern Japanese cuisine appeared during the Edo age (1603 – 1867), when urbanization, changes in agricultural methods, and exposure to new ingredients from abroad gave rise to new styles of cooking. Food historians believe that teriyaki was first made by Japanese cooks in the seventeenth century, along with other dishes incorporating roasted or grilled meat. The special sauce distinguishes teriyaki from other recipes. Teriyaki dishes became popular in the United States during the 1960s, when Japanese restaurants began to proliferate. Teriyaki chicken, pork, beef or fish remains a popular Japanese dish in the West. Many variations of teriyaki sauce have been created, and modern chefs use the sauce with novel ingredients to create new teriyaki dishes.

Best Beef Salpicao

How To Cook Best Beef Salpicao

Best Beef Salpicao - After doing some research on the origin of this dish, it seems that the trail that I am following lead me nowhere. The next famous salpicao outside of the Philippines can be found in Portugal. The name of the dish is spelled as salpicão and it is a type of sausage that uses different kinds of meat. It also looks very different from the Philippine salpicao dish. I guess that I need to dig deeper into this matter unless some of you know something about it. You could always inform us by placing a comment.

Best Beef Salpicao

Beef Salpicao is a dish composed of cubed beef sirloin or tenderloin, lots of minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and some liquid seasoning (the seasoning can either be oyster sauce or soy sauce – but I think using oyster sauce is better). This could be mistaken as cubed garlic steak because of the very close resemblance (it also resembles the steak used in Chipotle’s Steak Burrito minus the garlic).

Beef salpicao is one of those dishes that always hits home for me. Take some good quality meat, salt it with some soy sauce and then finish it off with strong garlic. It is a typical filipino dish, however it has so many variations, it’s hard to keep track of all of them. As i’ve said before, traditional cooking is not about having one mother recipe and then following that to the bone. I guess that can only be the case with recipes that are known to have been created by one cook only (like a Caesar’s Salad for example). However with recipes that just came to be (most Filipino dishes), the most important part is to get the flavours right and then the technique or intricacies are yours to play with. Look at what the Australian’s are doing; using fresh ingredients with certain techniques and flavours, which they coin as Australian cuisine. From that point on the possibilites are endless. I believe that Filipino food is an assembly and interaction of flavours, the rest is up to your interpretation. So here is my take on a simple Salpicao.

Best Beef Salpicao Time And Duration
Prep time 40 mins Cook time 30 mins Total time 1 hour 10 mins

Best Beef Salpicao Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin (or tenderloin), cubed
• 3 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 5 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

It is important to use the tenderest part of the cow when cooking this dish. Since searing the meat until it dries up does not take that long, there wouldn’t be enough time to tenderize the meat that you are cooking. I highly recommend using beef tenderloin or sirloin for this recipe.

Best Beef Salpicao Steps And Method For Cooking.

1. Combine the beef, salt, pepper, and garlic then mix well. Let stand for 10 minutes.
2. Add the olive oil and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Apply high heat on a pan then put-in the combined ingredients once the pan is hot enough.
4. Sear the beef until the color of the outer part turns brown. Try to toss the beef while searing so that all sides are uniformly cooked.
5. Add the oyster sauce and Worcestershire sauce and continue tossing until the liquid dries up.
6. Put-in the butter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
7. Transfer to a serving plate.

Best Beef Salpicao Additional Trivia

is a traditional Portuguese sausage. It is smoked, light brown in color, cylindrical in shape, about 15 cm (6 in.) in length. It is made ​​with beef and loin of pork, flavored with salt, white or red wine, garlic, and sweet or spicy paprika. The casing is a thick intestine of a pig, shaped in a straight form. After being hung within the casing, the meat is aged for 8 days, to improve the taste.

It is a popular enchido in the region of Trás-os-Montes, with records of their production dating from the eighteenth century.

It can be eaten sliced, either thick or thin, with bread.

Note that in Brazil the name Salpicao is used with an entirely different meaning, meaning a salad containing beef, chicken, or turkey and a variety of vegetables.

It was a challenge finding the history of this dish, I still don’t know where in the Philippines it first appeared but I did discover two things which may help explain the “salpicao” part of its name. First, salpicado is a Spanish word which means “spattered with” (thank you, Clair). Considering that the Philippines was a Spanish colony for over four centuries, “salpicao” just might be a derivative of salpicado. Second, farther search led me to references to salpicao as a Brazilian word. I found a Brazilian-English translator which says that salpicao means “dotty” in English.

I figure that “spattered with” and “dotty” might just refer to the gazillion bits of garlic in beef salpicao. Maybe. Perhaps. Arguable. Debatable. What isn’t in doubt is how delicious beef salpicao is. Tender and juicy beef cubes that are salty and subtly sweet and boldly smelling and tasting of garlic. The way the meat tastes and smells, you’d think it has been flavored by a hundred spices. But beef salpicao has very few ingredients! The simplicity in the preparation and the startling deep flavors… it’s just the perfect main dish for a party. You can even serve it as a cocktail food! Place in a platter, hand out small forks and voila!

About Curry

I love curry Generally speaking, everyone has probably heard what curry is. It is a dish cooked that is automatically assumed to be Indian or Asian in origin. To an extent, this is true because the ideas of curries have largely come from India and other Asian parts. The reason why curries are automatically associated with India is because of the spices that have been used over the years in curries. The taste of curry is automatically assumed to be spicy. To an extent, this is true too. However, not all curries are spicy, as many of them do have several spices in them, but these are to achieve a particular taste.

Generally, one can say that the idea of spices in a curry originates from India, and this cannot be denied because of the fact that there are a number of dishes that may be cooked fiery hot with peppers of various kinds. Indeed, the red and green peppers (chilies) are very common in India, and generally, you may make curries from these two kinds of peppers or a mixture could even be made.

In addition to the use of red and green peppers, there re a number of other ingredients may be required in the making of curries. Some ingredients might include salt, cumin seed or zeera (whole or powdered), saffron or turmeric, coriander, black pepper, cloves, cardamom, ginger, garlic, onions, tomatoes, etc. In addition to these, there are a number of other ingredients that may be included to make a curry taste delicious.

In some curries, coconut is common. These recipes that use coconut are normally ones that are used to cook fish curries. Indeed, there are different kinds of fish curries that may be cooked with the wide range of spices or masala in India.

In curries, you may have a wide range of foods cooked. You can cook meats of any kind, fish, lentils and vegetables. Indeed, there is a wide variety of curries that can be made in order to make meats and vegetables taste even more delicious. For this, you need to know the methods for cooking and have an understanding of the strengths of each spice and ingredient used in curries. If you do not know what strengths lie in each spice, you may end up making a curry that is out of the ordinary or you may leave the worst taste in a person’s mouth.

Production of Curry

Curries are very popular in India, and now have also been experimented with in many other parts of the world. This is perhaps because of the fact that these dishes are so delicious and also because of the fact that there are many Asians that have traveled far and wide. These people are responsible for passing on how curries are produced exactly.

Curries are produced in different ways. It depends on what kinds of dishes you would like to make. Let’s assume we want to make a beef curry. Now in a dish like this, you would first of all chop onions or even garlic into small pieces. In a vessel with some measured quantity of oil on low flame, you would add the onions, and stir them around till they are golden brown. The darker you let the onions brown, the darker your curry will turn out.

Once the onions have browned sufficiently, you may add in the beef or any other meat you want to cook. You should fry the meat in the browned onions and oil until the meat changes color. Then you may add in tomatoes and other ingredients like ginger and garlic, and allow the mixture to cook well. As the meat softens, you can add in more spices such as the red chili peppers. Now red chili peppers can be of two kinds. One type is the powdered form that is available in the market, and the other kind is the big red whole chilies and the round red chilies that you crush and grind. You normally will need to mix these in a little vinegar in order to make a paste. This makes a good delicious red curry.

Alternatively, if you want to make a green curry, you need to take big green chilies and grind them. What you get is a delicious green curry with a greenish to yellow color. You could make a green curry paste to add in the same way that you make a red one.

Adding in additional ingredients is up to you, but normally in a curry you most commonly find potatoes added. In addition to these, you may have cardamom, clove peppercorns, etc. You need to watch out for the salt, and keep tasting the curry frequently so that you know if you have added enough salt. Some curries need to be garnished, and it is very common to have an Indian curry garnished with fresh coriander leaves. Source: Curry

Hot And Spicy Pepper Steak Additional Trivia

The health benefits of black pepper include relief from respiratory disorders, coughs, the common cold, constipation, indigestion, anemia, impotency, muscular strains, dental disease, pyorrhea, diarrhea, and heart disease.

Black pepper is the fruit of the black pepper plant from the Piperaceae family and is used as both a spice and a medicine. The chemical piperine, which is present in black pepper, causes the spiciness. It is native to Kerala, the southern state of India. Since ancient times, black pepper is one of the most widely traded spices in the world. It is not considered a seasonal plant and is therefore available throughout the year. When dried, this plant-derived spice is referred to as a peppercorn, and is then ground into a powder to be put on food to add flavor and spice.

Because of its antibacterial properties, pepper is also used to preserve food. It is a rich source of manganese, iron, potassium, vitamin-C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber. Black pepper is also a very good anti-inflammatory agent.

Health Benefits of Black Pepper
Good for the Stomach

Pepper increases the hydrochloric acid secretion in the stomach, thereby facilitating digestion. Proper digestion is essential to avoid diarrhea, constipation and colic. Pepper also helps to prevent the formation of intestinal gas, and when added to a person’s diet, it can promote sweating and urination, which remove toxins from the body. Sweating removes toxins and cleans out the pores of any foreign bodies that may have lodged there, and it can also remove excess water or accumulation, also known as edema. In terms of urination, you can remove uric acid, urea, excess water, and fat, since 4% of urine is made of fat. For digestion, inducing digestion can help you lose weight and increase the overall functioning of your body and prevent various gastrointestinal conditions and colorectal cancer. Its ability to expel gas is because black pepper is a carminative, which forces gas out of the body in a healthy, downward motion, rather than pressing upwards in a dangerous way and straining the upper chest cavity and vital organs. It also inhibits more gas from forming in the body.

Weight Loss

The outer layer of peppercorn assists in the breakdown of fat cells. Therefore, peppery foods are a good way to help you shed weight naturally. When fat cells are broken down into their component parts, they are easily processed by the body and applied to other, more healthy processes and enzymatic reactions, rather than simply sitting on your body and making you look overweight.

Skin Health

Pepper helps to cure Vitiligo, which is a skin disease that causes some areas of skin to lose its normal pigmentation and turn white. According to researchers in London, the piperine content of pepper can stimulate the skin to produce pigment. Topical treatment of piperine combined with ultra violet light therapy is much better than the other harsher, more chemically-based treatments for vitiligo. It also reduces the chances of skin cancer due to excessive ultraviolet radiation.

Respiratory Relief

In Ayurvedic practices, pepper is added to tonics for colds and coughs. Pepper also provides relief from sinusitis and nasal congestion. It has an expectorant property that helps to break up the mucus and phlegm depositions in the respiratory tract, and its natural irritant quality helps you to expel these loosened material through the act of sneezing or coughing, which eliminates the material from the body and helps you to heal from whatever infection or illness caused the deposition in the first place.

Antibacterial Quality

The antibacterial property of black pepper helps to fight against infections and insect bites. Pepper added to the diet helps to keep your arteries clean by acting in a similar way to fiber and scraping excess cholesterol from the walls, thereby helping to reduce atherosclerosis, the condition highly responsible for heart attacks and strokes.

Antioxidant Potential
An antioxidant like pepper can prevent or repair the damage caused by the free radicals and thus help to prevent cancer, cardiovascular diseases and liver problems. Free radicals are the byproducts of cellular metabolism that attack healthy cells and cause their DNA to mutate into cancerous cells. Antioxidants like black pepper neutralize these harmful compounds and protect your system from many conditions, even premature aging symptoms like wrinkles, age spots, macular degeneration, and memory loss.

Enhances Bioavailability

Black pepper helps in transporting the benefits of other herbs to different parts of body, maximizing the efficiency of the other health foods that we consume. That is why adding it to foods not only makes them taste delicious, but also helps make those nutrients more available and accessible to our system.

Cognitive Impairment and Neurological Health

Piperine, one of the key components of black pepper, has been shown in numerous studies to reduce memory impairment and cognitive malfunction. Chemical pathways in the brain appear to be stimulated by this organic compound, so early research demonstrates the possibility for pepper to benefit Alzheimer’s patients and those that are suffering from dementia and other age-related or free radical-related malfunctions in cognition.

Peptic Ulcers

A number of studies have shown that black pepper may have beneficial effects on gastric mucosal damage and peptic ulcers, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. More research is still being done on this aspect of black pepper health effects. Source: Pepper

Tasty Flank Steak Marinade Additional Trivia

Do You Know That Marination is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origin of the word alludes to the use of brine (aqua marina) in the pickling process, which led to the technique of adding flavor by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the 'marinade', can be either acidic (made with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or wine) or enzymatic (made with ingredients such as pineapple, papaya or kiwifruit). In addition to these ingredients, a marinade often contains oils, herbs, and spices to further flavor the food items.
It is commonly used to flavor foods and to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. The process may last seconds or days. Different marinades are used in different cuisines. For example, in Indian cuisine the marinade is usually prepared with a mixture of spices.

Tissue breakdown
In meats, the acid causes the tissue to break down, which allows more moisture to be absorbed and results in a juicier end product however, too much acid can be detrimental to the end product. A good marinade has a balance of acid, oil, and spice. If raw marinated meat is frozen, the marinade can break down the surface and turn the outer layer mushy.
Often confused with marinating, macerating is a similar form of food preparation. Source: Marinade
