Kodoshian Sauce

-

Have you ever had one of those moments when you make one thing and several things evolve from the original idea? Yea, these are one of those times. Inspiration comes to me often and when it does I go to work. While making Jerky with an Asian flare I surmised that this sauce could be used for other recipes with a tweak or two. I can add this or subtract that and voila Kodoshian Sauce was created. This sauce is great on just about everything. From stirfrys to marinating chicken, beef, and hot wings to all sorts of things. If you want to you can add fresh ginger, garlic, pineapple or galandal. You can use this sauce as a base to create other magnificent things. In this post I will show you what I did......Dang I need to make some Hot Wings with this sauce too. Heck maybe next week or so.



No Asian dish with be complete without Daikon and Carrots. This is such an easy brine to make. Boil all the ingredients above and pour over the julienned Daikon & Carrot slaw. After you pour it over give it about 60 minutes before you sample. If you want you can change the ratios. One to One on the water and vinegar works too.


You want to have equal proportions. I over did it with the carrots though. Use a mandoline if you have one. Make sure the veggies are the same length.
Toss everything in a colander. Add some salt and toss to coat. Let it sit for about 30-45. This will draw out excess moisture. After the elapsed time rinse with water and squeeze. I used cheese cloth but feel free to do it anyway you want. Combine the veggies in one large bowl and mix. Pour Boiled Brine over them. It will take a while for it to cool off. You could add ice to a one gallon bag and submerge it into the container to cool if off rapidly.


Picture to the left... all done. Picture to the right has the pickled mixture sitting in a sieve to drain. Placing these babies in my sandwich.  



MARINATED CHICKEN

Combine the Kodoshian sauce with the Chicken (I prefer thighs) some Green Onion and Cilantro. Add some black and white sesame seeds. Let it marinate for at least 6 hours but 24 hours is better. 

Cook on a very large grill. When you get done you can place on a serving try with some extra goodies and serve as you wish.






Getting it ready for another dish.



 



Pasta Bowl with Chicken

Boiled Rice noodles combine with Sauce, chicken, pickled Daikon & Carrots, Cilantro, Green Onion, Bean Sprouts and Peanuts. I added some more Sriracha to the sauce to really kick it up. 





Kodoshian-Mayo

I had to make a mayo to go with my Sandwiches. I used my Kodoshian Sauce, Mayo and Chili Garlic sauce.




Kodoshian-Dipping-Sauce

 I made a dipping sauce to go with my Egg Rolls. Combine Kodoshian Sauce, Peach or Pineapple Preserves, Sweet Chili Sauce and some extra Sesame seeds.












Kodoshian Egg-Rolls

Here is my mixture for the Egg Rolls. Combine Chicken, Boiled Rice Noodles, Cilantro, Green Onions, Kodoshian Sauce, Sesame Seeds and some Peach Preserves. The Preserves helps with the overall structure of the Egg Roll and makes it taste awesome.



Make the Egg Rolls. 








After they're rolled place in refrigerator for an hour or two to dry. A wet Egg Roll will not fry properly. In a skillet on medium heat fry until golden brown. 
Plate them up with some sauce and sesame seeds.


Kodoshian-Bad-Ass-Chicken Sandwich 

 Chop up the chicken, added some sauce, green onion, cilantro and more sesame seeds. Now make a Big Ass sandwich with the Chicken and Mayo you just made. Add all the fixings. Toast the bun. 

Kodoshian-Ribeye-Sandwich

Partially freeze the Ribeye so it will be easier to slice thin. I have a Berkel slicer so this made it easy. Slice into desired thickness. I sliced the Ribeye at 1/4 of inch. 


 This 2 1/2 inch Ribeye was able to give up a lot of slices.





Marinate the Ribeye in the Kodoshian Sauce for at least 24 hours.  Make sure they are fully submerged. After the picture was taken I pushed meat under the sauce.


Grill them off on a smoking hot grill.






All Done!!

Make your Ribeye Sandwiches!!! Add some mayo, the sauce and the rest of the goodies.

Curing Notes and some Math

-

(OP-2016) I wrote this up to help you with some of my recipes. I hope these notes and links expand your knowledge of curing.  My recipes are straightforward to follow if you use the info given below. Replicating my recipes is possible because I use percentages for everything. The weight of meat plus fat is 100%, and all ingredients to be added are expressed as a percentage of the weight of the meat plus fat.  Percentages can be used to standardize recipes regardless of batch size, and all weights are metric. An online calculator is provided below.  No weights are given because the weights of meats vary. Again everything is a percentage of the meat's weight after trimming. Here is an example- Meat weight,  2393  grams, and we want to find out the amount of salt we need in grams-  2393 * 3.5%=83.755 or 2392/100 * 3.5 =83.755 grams. Or 2393 * .035 = 83.755 For most of my recipes, I use  .25%  c...

Eye-of-Round (Sous-Vide)

EYE OF ROUND- EOR  (OP- 5/2017)I've been wanting to do this for a while but prefer other cuts for roast beef (I still do). Anyhow, after reading all the pontificating posts on E-O-R, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After making about 5 of these E-O-R's, I have dialed in what I believe is the perfect temp and time.  The T/T was selected because it provides the highest moisture retention, texture (tenderness) for slicing using a Deli-Slicer. If you plan on slicing by hand or wanted to slice very thick to serve as an entree it might not work. The E-O-R will be cooked at 128f for 24 hours and sliced on my Berkel Slicer.  (Disclaimer located at the bottom for T/T). Note: The T and T are perfectly fine. The Log Reduction is exceeded 12.  If you plan on purchasing the E-O-R at Costco or another whole seller, I will suggest buying it cryo-vacuumed-sealed. If you don't, there's a possibility that it was mechanically tenderized. I'm not against...

Burnt Ends the Sous-Vide way!!!

-

  The King of BBQ Brisket is Burnt Ends. But what are Burnt Ends? Traditional Burnt Ends are from the point of brisket. Where I live, you rarely find a whole packer (whole briskets), and when you do come across one, you're usually not in the market for one. Yes, yes, I could buy one and freeze it, but I don't like to freeze the meat. So I decided to make Burnt Ends entirely from the flat. Burnt Ends are a delectable delicacy and are prized by many if not all BBQ enthusiasts. I actually prefer Burnt Ends to BBQ brisket. Sometime during the "cook," the whole brisket is removed, and the point is separated from the flat. Traditionally the point is cubed up and doused with more spices and smoked very low and slow for a couple of more hours, and sometimes BBQ sauced is added. Burnt Ends are typically served with a little char on them with some BBQ sauce on the side or in sandwiches. I recently attended a BBQ workshop, and t...
