Uni Shooter with Ponzu
Posted on 06. Mon, 2010 by admin in Appetizers/Dim Sum, GF-Adaptable
You can’t beat fresh uni paired with a cold quail egg yolk! A little squirt of sriracha hot chili sauce and it makes a fantastic little appetizer. Mount Dora Sushi is hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants in the Orlando area. The little quaint town is just 20 minutes north of Orlando. I shot this photo during my last visit to Mount Dora Sushi. ~Jaden Hair
Teochew Braised Duck
Posted on 05. Tue, 2010 by admin in Asian Recipes, Asian Region, Chinese, East Asian, GF-Adaptable, Holidays, Lunar New Year, Poultry
As a newlywed, Rosalind Yeo learned how to make this dish from her mother-in-law using a Chinese rice bowl as a measuring implement. The recipe is now a family favorite, often served at Chinese New Year as well as for everyday meals. While this is essentially a Teochew (also Chow Chiu or Chaozhou) dish, the addition of lemongrass and galangal is very Southeast Asian. The sweetness of the duck contrasts sharply with the tart dipping sauce, resulting in a tingly sweet-sour sensation in your mouth.

By Ming Tsai
I consider this my signature dish, in fact, it has been on the menu since day one (almost five years ago). People still can’t seem to get enough of it! You could say that it is the synthesis of two great dishes I ate and admired: the miso-brushed yakitoris I enjoyed in Osaka and miso black cod, a great dish created by Nobu Matsuhisa.
