PORK AND WATER CHESTNUT SAUSAGE
Water chestnuts are an underwater corm, and as you might imagine if you consider their natural environment, they are plump with water and crunchy. Their taste, on the other hand, is hard to pinpoint: it's a cross between jicama and sugarcane with a hint of nuttiness, all diluted with water. In other words, it is somewhat bland. They are often used in Chinese and Southeast Asian dishes, mainly in stir-fries, for their snappy bite. That is also what they contribute to this sausage, which features Asian tastes. I use the sausage for stuffing wontons (page 55), for making small balls to top steamed rice, for mixing into udon noodles, or for wrapping in lettuce leaves as the Thai and Laotians do with minced meats (page 119) and the Vietnamese do with savory meatballs (page 60). Fresh water chestnuts are rarely found in markets, even those geared to an Asian clientele. They are seasonal and as much of a chore to peel as tree chestnuts (not a relative, despite the name). Canned water chestnuts fill that niche. They are available in grocery stores where even only a small amount of space is devoted to Asian ingredients. This sausage recipe calls for much less than what you get in a 6-ounce can, usually the smallest size sold. The remainder can be stored covered with fresh water in the refrigerator and used in homey stir-fries, salads, and slaws.

PORK AND WATER CHESTNUT SAUSAGE WONTONS IN WATERCRESS AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SOUP
In the annals of folk medicine, watercress soup is said to be good for soothing a dry throat or for when a general system-cleansing tonic is needed. Here, the nip and pep of watercress infuses chicken broth made rich with slivers of shiitake mushroom and plump sausage-filled wontons to produce a new take on wonton soup that is both healthful and delicious. Hydroponic watercress, meaning watercress grown in water and without soil, closely resembles watercress you might pick alongside a running stream in spring, but it has finer, more delicate stems and far less dirt and sand on its leaves. It is often available year-round in supermarket produce sections.
Yield serves 4 to 6
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- To make the wontons, place 1 heaping teaspoon of the sausage in the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with water, and fold it over corner to corner to make a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal. As the wontons are made, transfer them to a plate. Use right away, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, within a few hours.
- To make the soup, combine the broth and shiitake slices in a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. When the broth just begins to boil, drop in as many wontons as will fit without crowding and cook until they rise to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons to a plate and repeat with the remaining wontons.
- When all the wontons are cooked, stir the watercress into the simmering broth and return the wontons to the pan. Reheat gently, then ladle into individual bowls and serve right away.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH STUFFED WITH PORK AND CHESTNUT SAUSAGE
Of all the winter squashes, butternut is my favorite. Not only is it easy to peel for soups or gratins, but its flesh is also exceptionally creamy and sweetly invites a sausage filling. Stuffed with pork and chestnut sausage, these squash boats can stand alone as a main course, with steamed rice and a sturdy-leaf green salad for side dishes. They also make a notable side dish for a holiday turkey or crown roast. For precooking the squash, I like to take the microwave advantage. It's ever so much faster. But for finishing the dish, I use the oven because it produces a toastier, more visually appealing look.
Yield serves 4 to 6
Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the squashes in half lengthwise. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet or in a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle lightly with water, cover loosely, and cook until squeezable but not mushy, about 40 minutes in the oven, or 10 minutes in the microwave. Remove and set aside to cool. Leave the oven on if you have used it, or preheat it now to 400°F if you haven't.
- When the squash halves are cool, scoop out and discard the seeds from each half, then make a slit in the flesh along the middle, from the blossom to the stem end of each half, taking care not to cut through the skin. Pry open the slit and push the pulp to the edges. Fill the cavity with sausage, dividing it evenly among the halves and heaping it high. Add a generous helping of bread crumbs on top and dot with butter.
- Return the squash halves, filled sides up, to the baking sheet, and pour a little water in the bottom to keep them from drying out. Bake until the sausage is no longer pink in the middle but still moist and the bread crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

- Season minced pork with light soy sauce, sesame oil, corn flour, salt and pepper. Use your fingers or a spoon to mix well. Note: Use salt sparingly, if at all, as there is already hidden salt in salted radish or salted fish, and in preserved cabbage.
- Add all minced ingredients and mix with fingers or a spoon till well combined. Add egg yolk and mix well. The pork should come together in a slightly sticky, mushy paste.
- In a heatproof dish, spoon 1/2 tbsp of the shallot oil (or garlic oil) and spread over the base of the dish. Spoon half of the pork mixture into the dish and using the back of a spoon, flatten and shape into a patty to fill the base of the dish. Leave at least a 2-cm gap from the edge of the dish, as the patty will release juices as it is steamed. Drizzle another 1/2 tbsp of shallot oil (or garlic oil) over the patty.
- Fill a wok 1/4 full with water, place a steaming rack in the wok, cover with wok lid, and heat over high heat. Once water is boiling, place the heatproof dish on the steaming rack. Steam, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until meat has cooked through. Test by poking a fork into the meat.
