-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 4 oz Dried bean thread noodles
1 sm Dungeness crab
(preferably live)
1/2 lb Large shrimp
shelled and deveined
1/2 lb Large cleaned squid
cut crosswise into 1" rings
1 lb Fresh fish fillets
cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 t Black peppercorns

1 tb Rice wine or dry sherry
1 t Sesame oil
2 tb Vegetable oil
3 slices ginger (quarter sized) -- crushed
4 Red chiles -- chop in 1/2" pieces
4 Green onions -- cut in 2 " lengths
1 1/2 c Water, or more if needed
1/2 c Thai sweet basil leaves
Fresh coriander sprigs
1 Sandy clay pot casserole -- 2 qt size Golden Mountain Sauce is prepared with Thai style-soy sauce, which may be
found in Southeast Asian markets. IN A BOWL, COVER MUNG BEAN noodles with warm water; soak until soft and
pliable, about 10 minutes. Drain. Set aside. Clean and prepare the live
crab according to the following instructions (if using cooked crab, follow
the instructions after the steaming step). Shell and devein the shrimp; pat
dry. Clean squid according to the instructions below. Cut the body crosswise
into 1-inch rings; set aside the rings and cleaned tentacles. In a mortar or
spice mill, pound or grind the peppercorns, coriander root and garlic into a
paste. In a bowl, mix together the sugar, Golden Mountain Sauce, soy sauce,
oyster sauce, rice wine and sesame oil. Add oil to clay pot or Dutch oven.
Set over medium heat. Add reserved coriander-garlic-pepper paste to the oil;
saute lightly. Increase to high heat. Add ginger, chiles and the crab pieces
(add cooked crab later); toss and brown for a minute. Add shrimp and green
onions to crab mixture; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce
mixture and mung bean noodles; toss and mix together. Stir in water, cover
pot, reduce to medium heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If noodles seem dry, add more water. Increase to medium-high heat, add fish,
squid and cooked crab, mix with the noodles, top with the basil leaves.
Cover. Cook 3 to 5 minutes longer. Check for doneness. Bring the clay pot to
the table and serve hot with rice and vegetables. TO CLEAN AND PREPARE THE CRAB: Scrub the underside and in between claws and
legs to loosen sand and grit. Rinse well with cold water. Plunge crab into
boiling water for a minute to kill it immediately. Remove and cool. To
disjoint and crack the crab, hold shell portion of the crab in one hand.
With the other hand, gather the legs and claws on one side and gently pull
and tug until the body and legs loosen and free themselves as a whole
section from the shell. On both sides of the body are feathery gills. Pull
off and discard these gills. The tail piece, a triangular flap, is located
on the underside of the body. With tip of knife lift up the flap, grasp it,
twist off and discard. Scrub exposed area clean. Now remove the legs and
claws by gently pulling and bending them backward against their natural
bend, and twist to free them. You now have the chest-body section where the
tomalley liver is embedded in the cavity. Spoon it out and reserve it for
those who appreciate it. The chest body should be chopped in half down the
middle with a heavy cleaver. Chop each section crosswise into 3 equal
pieces. With a light hammer or metal nut cracker, crack the mid section and
joint of each leg and claw; set aside the pieces. (When eating, use the tip
of the leg as a pick to dig out the meat.) TO CLEAN AND PREPARE SQUID: Grasp the body of the squid with one hand and
with the other pull the head and tentacles away until separated from the
body. With your finger dip into the body to remove the quill, the
transparent cartilage and discard. Peel off the dotted skin from the body
and discard. Rinse body with cold water. Cut between the eye and the
tentacles; discard the head. Squeeze the thick center part of the
tentacles to dislodge the hard beak. Rinse with cold water; set aside. Posted to Fareshare 10/98 by J.Pellegrino - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

* Exported from MasterCook * Tips: Making Thicker Cookies Recipe By : Flo Braker (1992 Simple Art of Perfect Baking; Chapters)
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Desserts
Miscellaneous Volume 1, Oct. '98 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***** NONE ***** A: There are a few things you can do to make cookies like chocolate chip or
oatmeal thicker. Flo Braker, author of "The Simple Art of Perfect Baking" (Chapters, 1992),
suggests adding an extra tablespoon of flour for every cup of flour in the
recipe and decreasing the baking soda and baking powder by one-quarter. Baking soda, she said, not only leavens the dough but also causes it to
spread. Rather than dropping the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet, as most recipes
instruct, try rolling the dough (using a little flour to keep it from
sticking) into a long log, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, and chilling it
for 30 minutes. Just before baking, cut it into half-inch slices, and place them on a
greased and floured baking sheet. Cold dough spreads more slowly, and the butter and flour on the baking
sheet help prevent the dough's sliding and spreading. Braker also recommends an increase in the oven heat by 25 degrees.
"You're searing the dough basically," she says, "and you're setting it
sooner." Because the dough has been chilled, the baking time should not
change. These are general steps, she cautions, and you will probably need to do a
little experimenting to get it right. Before putting the whole batch in the oven, try baking a single cookie. In
less than 10 minutes, you will have your answer. --[NOTE: Tips were compiled and edited Monday, October 5, 1998 By Amanda

* Exported from MasterCook * Tortellini with Shrimp Recipe By : Bright Larkin
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bacon Main Dishes
Mushrooms Pasta/Noodles
Seafood Shrimp
Volume 1, Oct. '98 Wine Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 lb tortellini, cheese-filled -- fresh (tri color)
1 lb salad shrimp -- (60-70 count)
1/4 lb bacon -- diced
4 oz mushrooms -- sliced
1/2 c white wine
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 lb butter -- softened
1 tsp garlic -- finely chopped
2 green onions -- sliced In a saucepan, bring enough water to cook the pasta to a boil. Throw in a
tsp salt and the pasta. when the pasta is al dente, drain and set aside.
While that is going on, heat a heavy pan(whatever you've got that will hold
everything else). When the pan is nice and hot, throw in the bacon and
cook until crisp. Put in the olive oil and follow with the shrimp,
mushrooms, and garlic. Stir a lot to keep it from sticking. When the
shrimp start to turn pink, pour in the wine, cover, and let cook just until
shrimp are pink. Add the softened butter, stirring constantly, about a
tablespoon at a time. Add the green onion and stir to mix. Toss with the
pasta and serve. NOTES : This was one of those "what will I serve that 150 people in two
hours?' concoctions. I'm pretty proud of it because there weren't enough
leftovers to feed the staff. It would probably be better yet with the
substitution of pancetta for the bacon and the addition of 1/4 cup fresh
lemon juice. All these quantities are approximate because I was making things up as I
went along and using excess prep from the night before to save time. It
should work pretty well as I have written it. Posted on FareShare 10-2-98 by Bright Larkin bright@twave.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4 pkg. cream cheese -- (8 oz.) softened
1/2 c. sour cream
4 cans chopped green chilies -- (4 oz.)
3 tbsp. grated onion
1/2 tsp. garlic salt Mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add remaining

to be dipped in. This is so easy and so popular! You can also roll up thin sliced ham in
it, or use chopped olives, green or black, instead of the chilies. You
don't even have to have to salsa to dip it in. Use mayo instead of sour
cream- and so on. Easy to make smaller. Very flexible once you get the
idea. Posted on FareShare 10-8-98 by Gayle/ddmmom <ddmmom@popalex1.linknet.net> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
