Czech Foods Recipes

And now for something completely different... as you can probably see, I have been on a bit of an east asian food kick lately.  Best to mix things up a bit!  Since I recently had access to a grill, I thought I'd try my hand at some grilled flatbreads. These are warm, fluffy, and lightly seasoned with rosemary, sea salt, and tiny pools of olive oil goodness. This recipe uses a modified version of my basic pizza dough (using bread flour and longer rising times). You will need: 1 packet quick rise-dry yeast 1 cup water 2 Tbsp oil 1/2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 2 1/2 cups (strong) bread flour 2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped Sea salt  Virgin olive oil Yield: 3 large flatbreads or 4 medium 1. Combine dry ingredients: salt, sugar, flour, and yeast in a medium bowl. 2. Heat water to 130F/55C, immediately add water (once heated) and oil. Stir until thick. 3. Turn dough onto floured surface, kneading for 5 minutes. 4. Return dough to bowl and cover with kitchen towel, let sit for 30 minutes. 5.

Spicy and uniquely flavored by a gochujang paste-based sauce, these crispy chicken strips are a great (and fairly simple) homemade version of Korean fried chicken wings.  I had been meaning to make Korean fried chicken for years now.  However, I have to remember that I want to make it in advance of a trip to Chinatown... and I finally remembered!  If you do not have a Chinatown and your supermarket's international food section is poor, it might be worth trying Amazon for gochujang.  Gochujang is also a standout ingredient in the sauce for Bibimbap ! Anyways, back to the fried chicken! For the sauce you will need: 2 Tbsp gochujang paste 1 Tbsp Sriracha 2 Tbsp ketchup 3 Tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil 1 Tbsp butter 4 Tbsp caster sugar For the fried chicken you will need: 600g (approx 1.3lb) chicken breast fillets (strips) 6 Tbsp self-raising flour 3 Tbsp sweet potato flour 3 Tbsp rice flour 1 tsp salt 1/8 tsp ground black pepper Oil for frying   Garnish: Sesame seeds
