Fish And Chips With Chinese Black Vinegar Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet lined with foil with cooking spray.
• Arrange potatoes on baking sheet and spray them with cooking spray. Season with salt and black pepper. Bake 25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk in milk and egg. Add cod fillets and turn to coat with batter. Add cod to a baking sheet that's been lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray and bake 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and fork-tender.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar and honey to serve as a dipping sauce. Serve 1 pound of the fish and all of the potatoes with this meal. Reserve 1/2 pound fish for another recipe.
• Serve with 4 cups steamed spinach.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the miso paste with 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar and 1 tsp sugar. Put the cod fillets in the marinade and turn over so they are evenly coated. Cover with cling film and chill for 1 hr.
• Put the radishes in a small bowl with the black sesame seeds, the remaining vinegar and sugar, and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle for at least 30 mins.
• For the wasabi tartare sauce, combine all the ingredients and season well. Set aside or chill in the fridge until needed.
• Meanwhile, put the sweet potato chips in a large saucepan filled with cold salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 7-8 mins until slightly tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry for 2 mins.
• Fill a large saucepan with the oil until two-thirds full. Place over a medium-high heat until the oil reaches 180C on a temperature probe (or until a piece of bread crisps up in 20 secs). Meanwhile, make the tempura batter by combining the flours and gradually whisking in the soda water. Whisk until the batter is lump-free, then chill until needed.
• Once the oil has come to temperature, fry the sweet potato chips in batches until golden and cooked through, about 5 mins. Transfer to a baking sheet, season with salt and place in a low oven to keep warm while you fry the fish.
• Tip some seasoned flour onto a plate and dip the cod fillets in it, patting off any excess. Dip into the batter and fry in the same oil as the chips for 3-4 mins, until the batter is golden and the fish is cooked. Drain on kitchen paper.
• Serve the cod with the chips, wasabi tartare, pickled radishes and lime for squeezing over.

Steps:

• In a hot oven-proof skillet coated with olive oil, saute rice, shallots, sausage (if using),1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon ginger for 4 to 6 minutes. Season. Add tumeric and stir for 2 minutes. Add 6 cups stock and check for seasoning. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until rice has fully absorbed the broth. Fluff with a fork, re-check seasoning.
• In a hot large saute pan coated with olive oil, saute garlic and ginger. Add mussels and clams and cook until they start opening. Deglaze with wine and add fish and remaining cup of stock. Add the snow peas 30 seconds before fish is cooked through.
• In a food processor, add yolks, chiles, and garlic and puree. Slowly drizzle in oil to emulsify. Add juice and season. Good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• PLATING: Serve the seafood mixture over the rice in the skillet, drizzled with aioli.

Steps:

• For the tempura batter: Mix together the all-purpose flour cornstarch rice flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix in the squid ink and add soda water to the desired consistency.
• For the tartar sauce: Mix together the mayonnaise, cornichons, chives, dill, tarragon and lemon juice in a bowl.
• For the fish and chips: Heat the peanut oil in a fryer or large heavy-bottomed saucepan to 325 degrees F.
• Fry the black radish slices, turning them with a slotted spoon, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel and season with salt.
• Bring the peanut oil up to 350 degrees F.
• In batches, dip the cod into the tempura batter. Add to the hot oil and fry, flipping occasionally with a slotted spoon, until the fish is cooked through and the batter is crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove, drain on a towel and season with salt.
• Serve with the tartar sauce and black radish chips on a large platter. Garnish the platter with chopped chives and fresh dill.

Steps:

• For malt vinegar mayonnaise:
• Whisk egg yolk and 1 tablespoon vinegar in a small bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil, drop by drop at first, until mayonnaise is thickened and smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.
• DO AHEAD: Mayonnaise can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For fish and assembly:
• Fit a large pot with thermometer; pour in oil to measure 3". Heat over medium-high heat until thermometer registers 375°F.
• Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly add beer, club soda, and vinegar, adding more beer if batter is too thick (it should be the consistency of thin pancake batter).
• Place corn flour in a shallow bowl. Season fish with kosher salt and pepper. Dredge fish in corn flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Working in batches and returning oil to 375°F between batches, fry fish until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Season fish and fries with Old Bay, sea salt, and dill; serve with malt vinegar mayonnaise and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into chips and soak in cold water for 5 mins, then wash until the water runs clear. Tip into a pan of cold water with a pinch of salt and 1 tsp vinegar. Bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat and simmer gently for 10-12 mins until cooked through but not falling apart. Drain gently, then place on a tray in a single layer and chill until needed. Can be prepared a day ahead.
• To make the tartare sauce, chop the cornichons, capers and shallot (finely chop if you prefer a smooth sauce), then combine with the parsley, mayo and a pinch of salt. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hours.
• When you're ready to fry, prepare the batter. Tip the flours and turmeric into a bowl with a pinch of salt, pour over the beer or fizzy water, and mix quickly until everything just comes together to the consistency of double cream - do not over-beat, a few lumps are fine. Keep chilled.
• Pour the oil into a deep, wide pan like a wok, or heat a deep-fat fryer to 180C. If using a pan or wok, ensure that it is no more than two-thirds full with oil. Heat the oil until it is shimmering and carefully lower in the chips using a slotted spoon. Fry for 8-10 mins, gently stirring occasionally until golden and crisp. Transfer to kitchen paper to drain.
• Put a little flour in a dish, then bring the oil you used to cook the chips up to 185C, if you have a thermometer, or until a drizzle of batter sizzles and crisps in less than a minute. Working quickly, dust the fish in flour, then dredge through the batter. Hold the fillet above the batter to let the excess drip back into the bowl, then carefully lower into the oil. Fry the fillets for a minute until the batter is just starting to set, then take a spoon and drizzle the fillets with extra batter to create an even crunchier, wispy coating. Fry the fish for about 4 mins, turning once, until deep golden and crisp. Lift onto some kitchen paper to drain for a minute, then serve with the chips, tartare sauce, and plenty of salt and vinegar.
