Kimchi

:

CHICKEN-KIMCHI STIR FRY
1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 medium onion
1/2 cup kimchi, divided
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Prepare ingredients:
Cut chicken breast very thinly.
Peel and cut the onion in half lengthwise and then cut each half into 1/4 inch think wedges.
Squeeze kimchi dry reserving the liquid. Divide kimchi in half. Reserve a quarter cup to be served as banchan (side dish). Chop the other quarter cup. If possible select tender, greener, "leafier" parts of kimchi to be used as a side dish and whiter, tougher parts to be chopped and stir-fried.
In a small bowl combine reserved kimchi liquid with soy and oyster sauces.

Prepare the dish:
Using high heat, heat oil in a wok or a large heavy-bottomed skillet. Add onions and stir fry for 1 minute.
Add chopped kimchi and stir fry for 1 minute longer.
Add chicken and stir fry for 5-7 minutes until chicken is done which will depend on the thinness of the chicken pieces and the size of the skillet or wok.
Add the sauce (kimchi liquid mixed with soy and oyster sauce) and stir fry for one minute.
Serve with the reserved kimchi as a side.

Organic Pastry Flour

:

CHICKEN POCKETS
( I use organic ingredients. chicken is pasture- raised, grass and insect fed)
2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
1/2 cup diced onions
1 lb. ground chicken
Kosher Salt to taste
Ground Black Pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh Rosemary chopped
Pastry Pockets:
2 cups Pastry Flour
5 tablespoons Butter
1/4 cup iced water
1/2 tsp salt

Place avocado oil & diced onions in large stainless steel pan and cook on medium heat until onions start to turn golden. Add ground chicken, salt, pepper and rosemary and cook until done, approximately 15mins. Drain any fat and let sit

While,chicken is cooking, fill a large bowl with two cups pastry flour, butter and salt. ( a Kitchen Aid with the paddle utensil will work well) Mix/blend on slow- medium, until all ingredients look crumbly, like course oatmeal. Slowly add the ice water until a ball is formed. Place ball of dough on floured counter and let sit x10 mins, covered with the bowl. Split dough in half and roll out two flat crusts. Roll each crust approximately 1/4 inch thick. Use a small bowl to cut out four circles with each crust. Dampen the edges of each circled crust with water, Fill each circle with enough chicken mixture to be able to fold over and form half circles. Make certain the edges are securely pinched so the filling doesn't come out.Places the eight filled "pockets" on a baking sheet, pre greased with olive oil. Bake x 8 mins in preheated 350 degree oven. Cut a small x on the top of each pocket and continue to bake another 12-15 mins, or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy.
