www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday January 21, 2009 - 23 Canadians embrace exotic dishes in their homes (NC)--Reflecting Canada's rich multicultural landscape, our appetite for restaurant quality ethnic fare has never been higher. Some of the more popular dishes these days include Kung Pao, Szechuan, Butter Chicken, Tandoori, Thai Coconut Chicken and Pad Thai. Here's why: · Kung Pao is a bold and spicy chicken Chinese favourite that awakens the taste buds with the flavours of ginger, soy sauce, sherry, cayenne pepper and Chinese five spice. This dish is named after Ding Baozhen (1820­1886), a late Qing Dynasty official from the Sichuan province. Serve over rice or noodles. This is considered a hot, spicy dish. · Szechuan is a classic spicy taste combining the flavours of soy sauce, ginger and spicy cayenne pepper in a traditional Chinese stir-fry. This medium spice heat dish originated in the Sichuan Province of southwestern China and is famous for bold flavours, particularly the spiciness resulting from liberal use of chilies and "numb" or "tingling" flavour of the Sichuan peppercorn or fagara. Serve Szechuan beef or chicken over noodles or rice. · Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh makhani, delivers a sweet, buttery and fragrant taste with the traditional spices of coriander, cumin, cinnamon and cilantro. This dish is from the Punjab region. This rich and creamy Indian dish is enjoyed on Basmati rice. · Tandoori recreates the flavours of savoury Tandoori chicken made in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven used in cooking and baking. The Tandoor originated in Afghanistan and was introduced by the Moguls to the Indian subcontinent. Designed to be cooked in the oven or grill at home, this fragrant blend of exotic spices, with a hint of smoke and lemon, will deliver a rich and medium, spicy flavour. Mix with plain yogurt and serve on rice or naan bread. · Thai Coconut Chicken is a creamy Thai dish that offers flavours of coconut, lime, cilantro and cayenne pepper. Just add coconut milk and peanut butter to the seasoning mix, and serve on delicious Jasmine rice. This dish is considered medium in spice heat. · Pad Thai boasts delicate Thai flavours of ginger, garlic, lime and cayenne pepper that give a traditional fresh, balanced flavour with medium spice heat. To serve, sprinkle with crushed peanuts to garnish this mildly spicy one pan meal.
