The recipe was missing some steps, but I made them up as I went along. Added some stir fried green peppers and onions.


Followed it up with Julia Child's creme brulee


I think I'm about to explode.

 

Good deal.

Can't remember where I got that recipe from, for the life of me.

Glad to see peeps are using the Good Eats forum though.

 

Where is the recipie??

 

General Tso's recipe is in this thread:
http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...hreadid=115673

and the creme brulee is as follows:
3 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean or 2 tsp. vanilla extract
grated zest of a large orange
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup caramelizing sugar (brown or flavored)

Pour the cream into a 6-cup saucepan, stir in the vanilla extract or vanilla bean and the orange zest and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover the pan, and let steep for 5 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the mixing bowl for several minutes until the yolks are thick, pale yellow and form a slowly dissolving ribbon when dropped from the whisk to the bowl. This is very important. If there isn’t a noticeable color change, whisk them some more. Remove the vanilla bean (if necessary) and slowly add the hot cream to the egg yolks. The eggs will scramble and cook if the hot cream is added too fast. Stir (do not whip or beat) the mixture until smooth and uniform. You do not want to introduce any air or bubbles to the mixture. Strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any orange particles or bits of egg.

Divide the mixture evenly among the ramekins (about 1/2 cup each). Arrange them in a baking pan filled with hot water about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Bake on the bottom oven shelf for 35 minutes at 350?F. Cool briefly at room temperature (until you can pick up the ramekins with a bare hand) and then refrigerate at least 4 hours. Just before serving, dust lightly with sugar and caramelize with a butane torch. This can be done with a broiler, but the custard tends to melt before the sugar completely caramelizes. Top with fresh fruit (and/or a caramel cage) and serve.
