BBQ Fish
Senior Cook
Yes it does sound strange, but it's oh so good! And i know it isn't fully grilled, but i couldn't find the "Hybrid foods" section.
Start by getting 2-3 sheets of nori and cut into strips about 1" wide by 3" long.
I make a tamari dipping sauce with:
1 cup shiitake soup stock
1/4 cup tamari
1 tbsp finely grated onion
Combine ingredients, bring to boil and let cool.
I have a pan of light sesame oil heating to 350F on the stove now as well.
Then make a tempura batter
(which there are different ways to make and i will list the one i use for this dish, with the alternates later)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
*APROX*1 to 1 1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Mix all dry ingredients. Then GRADUALLY add water but not to slow because you DO NOT want a thorough mix! And if you let the batter sit too long, it will become too thick!
Turn grill on low with a piece of hickory. (i have placed a ribbed cast iron griddle on my grill as well)
Dip nori strips in tempura batter, and one by one put into oil waiting for a golden brown color on both sides and remove onto a towelled plate.
By this time the grill should be smoking and ready so throw the stripes on and arrange. Close lid and let sit for about 5 minutes, or untill dry to touch, remove and serve.
This may seem like a lot for such a little thing, but the final payoff is really in taste!
******Alternate tempura batters******
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup corn flour
1-1 1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. sea salt
and
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 tbsp. arrowroot
1-1 1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Peace
