Dining with the Chef

Rika's TOKYO CUISINE Simmered Pacific Saury with Ginger (2016x33)

Ausstrahlung: Nov 25, 2016

In this episode, we'll be preparing three dishes that make the most of some of the incredible ingredients available in fall. Our main dish is simmered pacific saury with ginger, made by chopping these deliciously fatty fish into large pieces and simmering them until tender, with plenty of ginger and other seasonings commonly used in Japanese cuisine. We'll also be taking advantage of some of fall’s delicious seasonal ingredients, making chestnut rice as well as a clear soup that combines shrimp dumplings with matsutake mushrooms, the "king of autumnal flavors." To bring out the best flavor from the mushrooms, we'll be cooking them separately from the shrimp dumplings, only bringing them together at the very end in the serving bowl — a preparation style befitting this exquisite dish.
