Planet Hollywood Pot Stickers
Menu Description: "Six pot stickers filled with fresh ground turkey
meat
seasoned with ginger, water chestnuts, red pepper and green onions.
They are fried and served in a basket with spicy hoisin."
Here's a special recipe from one of the most popular theme
restaurant chains. Pot stickers are a popular Asian dumpling that
can be fried, steamed, or simmered in a broth. Planet Hollywood
has customized its version to make them crunchier than the traditional
dish, and it's a tasty twist that I'm sure you'll love. Since
hoisin sauce would be very difficult to make from scratch, you
can use a commercial brand found in most stores.
Ingredients
1/4 pound ground turkey
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced green onion
1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (no seeds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
Vegetable oil for frying
12 wonton wrappers (3 x 3-inch size)
On the side
Hoisin sauce
Preparation Method
1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the egg,
wrappers and oil. Add 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg. Save the
rest of the egg for later. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a deep
saucepan to 375 degrees. Use enough oil to cover the pot stickers
-- 1 to 2 inches should be enough.
2. Invert a small bowl or glass with a 3-inch diameter on the center
of a wonton wrapper and cut around it to make a circle. Repeat for
the remaining wrappers.
3. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center of one
wrapper. Brush a little beaten egg around half of the edge of the
wrapper and fold the wrapper over the filling. Gather the wrapper as
you seal it so that it is crinkled around the edge. Repeat with the
remaining ingredients.
4. Deep-fry the pot stickers, six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to
5 minutes or until they are brown. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping. If you want some crushed red
pepper or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.
Tidbits
If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can also use eggroll wrappers
for this recipe. Eggroll wrappers are much bigger, so you will be
wasting more of the dough when you trim the wrappers to 3-inch
diameter circles. But in a pinch, this is a quick solution.
Pot sticker wrappers can also be found in some supermarkets, but
I've found the wonton wrappers and eggroll wrappers, when fried,
taste more like the restaurant version.

Papa John's - Pizza Dipping Sauces
John Schnatter was only 23 years old when he used 1600 dollars
of start-up money to buy a pizza oven and have it installed in
the broom closet of an Indiana tavern. John started delivering
his hot, fresh pizzas, and in 1984, the first year of his business,
he sold 300 to 400 pizzas a week. One year later, he opened the
first Papa John's restaurant, and has become an American success
story. Today the company has expanded to over 2600 locations in
49 states and has revenues of 1.7 billion dollars a year. That
puts John's business in the top three of all restaurant chains
in overall sales growth, and the country's fastest growing pizza
chain.
John has kept the Papa John's menu simple. You won't find
salads or subs or chicken wings on his menu. The company just
sells pizza, with side orders of breadsticks and cheesesticks
made from the same pizza dough recipe. With each order of
breadsticks or cheesesticks comes your choice of dipping sauces.
I've got clones here for all three of those tasty sauces. You
can use these easy clones as dips for a variety of products, or
you can simply make your own breadsticks by baking your favorite
pizza dough, then slicing it into sticks. If you want cheesesticks,
just brush some of the Garlic Sauce on the dough, then sprinkle
with mozzarella cheese and bake. Slice the baked dough into sticks
and use the dipping sauce of your choice. It's a cinch.

Panda Express - Orange Flavored Chicken
As far as Chinese food goes, I think the stuff these guys
throw together in sizzling woks is surprisingly tasty for
a takeout chain. This dish is something of a twist on the
traditional sweet and sour chicken commonly found at Chinese
restaurants over the years. This popular menu item has a
delicious, citrus-laced, tangy-sweet sauce with a spicy nip
the regulars find truly addictive. The chain claims to cook
all of its food in woks, including sauces. But this homegrown
version will work fine, whether you go for a wok, or not.
Ingredients
Sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 rounded teaspoon chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons arrowroot
3 tablespoons water
Chicken
4 chicken breast fillets
1 cup ice water
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsifted cake flour
2 to 4 cups vegetable oil
Preparation Method
1. Combine all of the sauce ingredients - except the cornstarch,
arrowroot, and 3 tablespoons of water - in a small saucepan over
high heat. Stir often while bringing mixture to a boil. When sauce
reaches a boil, remove it from heat and allow it to cool a bit,
uncovered.
2. Slice chicken breasts into bite-size chunks. Remove exactly 1
cup of the marinade from the pan and pour it over the chicken in
a large resealable plastic bag or other container which allows
the chicken to be completely covered with the marinade. The chicken
should marinate for at least a couple hours. Cover the remaining
sauce and leave it to cool until the chicken is ready.
3. When chicken has marinated, preheat 2 inches of vegetable oil
in a wok or skillet to 350 degrees.
4. Combine cornstarch with arrowroot in a small bowl, then add 3
tablespoons of water. Stir until cornstarch and arrowroot have
dissolved. Pour this mixture into the sauce and set the pan over
high heat. When sauce begins to bubble and thicken, cover and
remove it from heat.
5. Beat together the ice water and egg in a medium bowl. Add baking
soda and salt.
6. Add 3/4 cup of the flour and stir with a fork just until the
flour in blended into the mixture. The batter should still be lumpy.
7. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of flour on top of the batter and mix
with only one or two strokes. Most of the new flour will still
floating on top of the mixture. Put the remaining flour (1/2 cup)
into a separate medium bowl.
8. Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, then into the
batter. Let some of the batter drip off and then slide the chicken
into the oil. Fry up to 1/2 of the chicken pieces at a time for
3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the chicken over halfway
through the cooking time. Remove the chicken to a rack or paper
towels to drain.
9. As the chicken cooks, reheat the sauce left covered on the stove.
Stir occasionally.
10. When all of the chicken is done, pour it into a large bowl,
and cover with the thickened sauce. Stir gently until all of the
pieces are well coated.
Serves four.
Pancakes from International House of Pancakes
Even though the early press runs of Top Secret Recipes excluded
buttermilk in this recipe -- a very important ingredient if you
really want pourable batter -- many figured out the missing
ingredient on their own and the error was quickly corrected in
later copies. Now we just like to call those copies of the book
the "Collector's Editions." For any of you who were lucky enough
to get one of the "Collector's Editions" we'd liked to say
"Congratulations!" Now here's the recipe, in its entirety, to
make pancakes just like those served every day at IHOP.
Ingredients
Nonstick Spray
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cooking oil
pinch of salt
Preparation Method
1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Use a pan with a nonstick
surface or apply a little nonstick spray.
2. In a blender or with a mixer, combine all of the remaining
ingredients until smooth.
3. Pour the batter by spoonfuls into the hot pan, forming 5-inch
circles.
4. When the edges appear to harden, flip the pancakes. They should
be golden brown.
5. Cook pancakes on the other side for same amount of time, until
golden brown.
Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.
Pal's Sauceburger
Here's a simple, great tasting burger from a small chain called
Pal's in Tennessee. This little drive-thru developed this simple
sauce -- a combination of ketchup, mustard and relish -- that
makes quick production of scores of these tasty sandwiches a
breeze when the line of cars grows long. Yes, it's easy...it's
also very good on any burger at your next cookout.
Ingredients
1/8 pound ground beef
1 small sesame seed bun
salt
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
Preparation Method
1. Pat out the ground beef until about the same diameter as the bun.
If you like, you can freeze this patty ahead of time to help keep
the burger from falling apart when you cook it.
2. Brown or toast the faces of the top and bottom buns. You can do
this in a frying pan over medium heat or by toasting them in the
oven (or toaster oven).
3. As the buns are browning, grill the hamburger patty, either in
a hot frying pan over medium heat...or you can use a barbecue grill.
Salt the meat generously.
4. Combine the ketchup, relish and mustard in a small bowl.
5. When the meat is cooked to your liking, place it on the face of
the bottom bun.
6. Slather the sauce on the face of the top bun and place it onto the
meat. Ta-da...Sauceburger!
Makes 1 burger.

Pace Picante Sauce (Medium)
Texan David Pace had been selling 58 different varieties
of jam, jellies, and sauces from the back of his liquor store
in the 1940s when he came up with a recipe for a thick and spicy
tomato-based sauce he dubbed "Picante." When sales of David's
new sauce took off, he concentrated all his efforts on marketing
his all-natural, preservative-free product, and designed the
sauce's famous hourglass-shaped jar (to keep it from tipping over).
Now America's number one Mexican hot sauce brand, Pace Foods,
makes it known that it still uses only fresh jalapeÒo peppers in
the sauces, rather than the brined, less flavorful jalapeÒos -
like those canned nacho slices. Each year all the fresh jalapeÒos
used by the company weigh in at around 30 million pounds, and the
nation gobbles up around 120 million pounds of the zingy sauces.
Here's a simple recipe to make a kitchen copy of the medium
heat-level Pace Picante Sauce, which was the first variety David
created. The mild and hot versions were added in 1981, and you'll
find clones for those at the bottom of the recipe in Tidbits.
Ingredients
1 10.75-ounce can tomato puree
1 can full of water (1 1/3 cups)
1/3 cup chopped Spanish onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh jalapeÒo peppers, with seeds (3 to 4 peppers)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
Preparation Method
1. Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium high heat.
2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until
thick.
3. When cool, bottle in 16-ounce jar and refrigerate overnight.
Makes 2 cups (16 oz.).
Tidbits
For the mild version of the salsa, reduce the amount of fresh
jalapeÒos to 2 rounded tablespoons (2 to 3 peppers).
For the hot variety, increase the amount of jalapeÒos to 1/3 cup
(4 to 5 peppers).
