Executive Chef
Been really busy so haven't been able to post much lately. Top Chef season 2 was a joke. That's all I have to say about that.
Here's something that I was working on lately. It's basically a variation of Ahi tuna with five different preparations ranging from simple to complex.
Starting from the top left hand corner and going clockwise around the plate:
1. Simply Sushi - Yellowfin Tuna Nigiri with Wasabi, Soy Sauce, and Ginger
2. Simply Sashimi - Big Eye Tuna with Wasabi, Soy Sauce, and Shiso
3. Ceviche - Yellowfin Tuna with Yuzu, Seaweed, Scallion, Jalapeno, Ginger, and Uni "Fondue"
4. "Torched" Tartare - Yellowfin Negitoro (fatty tuna belly) flash seared with a blowtorch, Shiso, Scallions, Truffle Oil, Tobiko, Cucumber-Basil Gelee
5. Ahi "Soba" - Big Eye Tuna with Transglutaminase, Japanese-style Pickled Vegetables, Ponzu Vinaigrette
