preparation
Instructions
1. Cut all vegetables to a 3/4-inch dice, except mushrooms and sweet potatoes. Peel and dice sweet potatoes to a 1/2-inch dice and quarter mushrooms. Wash and roughly chop cilantro.
2. Toast spices in a sauté pan or in a tilt skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently. Be careful not to burn the spices. Add oil and vegetables. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring as needed. Add all remaining ingredients except the last three. Sauté an additional 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the stew reaches a minimum temperature of 165°F.
3. Place in 4-inch half hotel pans.
4. After adding all ingredients in step 2, portion into 4-inch half hotel pans and cook in a combi-oven on the combination setting at 400°F, 60 percent humidity, and 6 percent fan speed with the probe inserted with a finishing temperature of 165°F. Toast the Chinese chilis on a 350-degree flat top in oil, turning frequently until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes. Combine the chilis with the stew and store them in a warmer for service. Serve with rice.
