Turkey
The fifth turkey dish inspired by Hiroshi Furusho's
battle with Iron Chef Rokusaboro Michiba
Tom Yum Turkey
Chef Furusho made a hot and sour soup with turkey
instead of the traditional Thai shrimp or Chinese pork.
They didn't show any of the making of this dish.
I made this dish after the battle was over
I looked up Tom Yum Soup at http://japanesefood.about.com/mbody.htm
They had two recipes; Thai Tom Yum Kung, with shrimp, and
Chinese Tom Yum soup with pork. I gathered together whatever
ingredients I could find, and took a the picture. I added sesame
oil and another can of sliced mushrooms to what is shown.
Wooden Chef Tom Yum Turkey Soup
6 cups of water
1 pound of sliced turkey
2 (4 oz.) cans of sliced mushrooms
4 tablespoons of soy sauce
3 slices of ginger (about ½ oz.)
1 teaspoon of salt
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
½ cup of cilantro (chopped)
½ teaspoon of sesame oil
2 green onions
6 cayenne peppers
1 egg
Bring the water to a boil. I used a "multicooker" pot.
I sliced chunks of turkey white meat across the grain.
I chopped the cilantro, green onions, and ginger.
I chopped the peppers in the spice (coffee) grinder.
I put the vegetables; peppers, onions, and cilantro,
into the pot to cook first. I added the meat and the
seasonings after about ten minutes. I kept the egg
out for later. After everything came to a good boil,
I poked holes in each end of the egg and blew the
white and yolk into the boiling pot, spreading the
egg around to make "flowers".
