Introduction
The whole point of sous vide cooking is to make sure that the food remains separated from the heated cooking environment. All, while its enclosed inside a vacuum either fully or partially. Such cooking at low temperatures was perfectly described by Count Rumford all the way back in 1799.
The sous vide method has evolved quite a lot with time, trials, and testing to reach its present state of usage. We must appreciate the efforts of those who helped its evolution by continuing their efforts. Let us begin to explore all the ways desserts, vegetables, and meat can be turned tender and cooked well through sous vide cooking.
Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken
Cooking Hawaiian Shoyu chicken sous vide really brings out its juicy and delicious flavor. It thoroughly enhances the entire dish, more than when it's grilled or slow-cooked. It's usually a part of the Hawaiian plated lunch.
Ingredients
6 lb. of rinsed, skinned, and fried boneless chicken thighs
6 big peeled and minced garlic cloves
1 to 3 knob inches of 3 pieces of peeled and sliced ginger
For the marinade and the glaze
1 half cup of aloha Shoyu/other soy sauce
3/4 cup of packaged light brown sugar
2 cups of chicken broth
1/2 cup of mirin
1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon of fish sauce
More ingredients for the glaze
Serving Size: 4-6
Preparation time: 1 hr.
Cooking Time: 5 hr.
Instructions:
1. Put water into a large pot and make sure to attach Nomiku sous vide on one side and set the temperature at 147.2F. Heat the water well.
2. Part the chicken in three big reasonably sized baggies. Divide the three ginger pieces into each. Open the bags and set them aside.
3. Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a big bowl. Divide the mix equally into the chicken bags. Lower the bags slowly, one at a time and as the water rises in the air, seal them before the water enters them.
4. Attach them to the pot's side or drape the bags top until the chickens completely submerged. Repeat this with the rest of the bags.
5. Cook them for 3 hours with the temperature and water level as it is.
6. After its cooked, strain half the pots liquid into another vessel to reduce it to make the glaze. Add the chicken with the rest of the liquid into a bag. Place it back into the sous vide pot with it turned off.
7. Make the glaze by boiling the marinade and reducing it. Make a slurry with cornstarch placed into water and include it in the glaze. Let it bubble and stir it till the glaze thickens.
8. Take the chicken out, get rid of the bag with the liquid, and put the chicken onto a plate or inside a bowl. Pour glaze all over the chicken and keep some as a dip.
9. Fork shred the chicken and sprinkle some of the chopped green onion slices on it. Serve it with some good sticky rice.
Perfectly Tender Octopus
Cooking octopus sous vide is one of the easiest methods to cook this method. Once placed inside the initial setup, the rest of the cooking is pretty hands-off. It really is foolproof in nature and you can leave it inside your cooker after you set it up.
Ingredients:
Serving Size: 4-6
Preparation time: 1 hr.
Cooking Time: 5 hr.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your sous vide cooker at 175F. Boil a large pot filled with water on high heat and dip your octopus into it, with tongs for 30 seconds.
2. Remove it and cut the octopus into smaller portions (if it's medium/big) with kitchen shears or a good sharp knife. Cluster the tentacles in 2 or 4 and bag them. Bag the head pouch as well and cook it.
3. Put the pieces in zip lock bags and seal them with a vacuum sealer.
4. Submerge them in water and cook them for 5 hours. Remove the bags and chill them quickly in ice-water. Refrigerate after that.
5. Sear them with a tablespoon of vegetable oil on high heat till it simmers, over a skillet. Cook them for 3 minutes until they are crispy, turn them and fry on the other side for 3 more minutes. Flavor and season it well when served.
