Dining with the Chef

Rika's Tokyo Cuisine: Shrimp Doria (Rice gratin with Shrimp) (2015x11)

Ausstrahlung: Apr 17, 2015

This episode's theme is Japanese home cooking, bridging the gap between East and West. Our main dish this episode will be shrimp doria with fava beans. While doria looks like a dish originally from Western Europe, its roots actually trace back to a long-established hotel in the port city of Yokohama. Buttered rice, topped with seafood and white sauce, then covered in cheese and baked, is the usual simplified homemade style that Rika will be making her own variant on, using a microwave to make a simple white sauce and flavoring the buttered rice with soy sauce. As a side dish, Rika will be making a fresh mushroom and shungiku chrysanthemum leaf salad with a hint of sesame oil, and for dessert, we have pudding made with matcha green tea, well known even overseas nowadays. We'll show you the secret to heating your pudding to give it a perfect, beautiful finish!
