SCALLOP AND MANGO CEVICHE WITH THAI-LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Scallop and Mango Ceviche With Thai-Lime Dipping Sauce image

This dipping sauce, fresh with herbs and tangy with lime, is Blue Ginger's, Ming Tsai's restaurant, most requested recipe. It's based on the traditional Thai dip called cha-gio, which gets its flavor from fish sauce. That salty ingredient is nicely balanced with lime juice. The herbs darken as the sauce ages; this isn't a taste problem (quite the opposite, as the flavor deepends over time) but the sauce will lose it looks. If this bothers you make and store the sauce "base" only, then chop & add the herbs an hour before serving it.Ceviche is food "cooked" without heat. As with all ceviches, freshness is key. Make sure your scallops are pristine enough to eat raw. This technique uses citric acid or vinegar to firm and therefore"cooked". Here, mango adds its exotic sweetness to scallops, which cook in the flavorful dipping sauce. Ming Tsai - ming.com - Episode 105, Tags: sauce, appetizer, scallops or mangoes. ;)

CEVICHE DE PESCADO (FISH SALAD COOKED IN LIME JUICE)

Ceviche De Pescado (Fish Salad Cooked in Lime Juice) image

The appreciation of good food is one thing people all over the world have in common. When traveling around the world, dining on local cuisine is an important part of exploring different cultures and regions. On one of my first encounters with local cuisines from another country was in Lima, Peru. I had been invited there for business purposes by the then Minister of Health, Dr. Waldo Fernandez. Waldo and I had become friends when I was employed by St. Luke's/Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. As our friendship progressed, he had invited me to Peru, which I accepted My visit coincided with the convening of the Peruvian Congress of Cardiology at which I was invited to make a presentation. At the banquet that terminated the convention, I was introduced to the Peruvian National Drink - the "Pisco Sour." This drink was so delicious, I had to have the recipe and was given the original recipe by Waldo who had obtained it from the vineyard at Tabernero. I will publish this shortly. The next day, I was invited to visit the military hospital there in Lima by Dr. Jaime Contrerous, the Director of all the military hospitals in Peru. Dr. Contrerous invited me back into the patient exam area where he introduced me to a quite large gentleman on a treadmill. It turned out that this gentleman was the then "President for Life" or dictator. He was the last dictator of Peru before he stepped down and allowed free elections. "El Presidente" invited me to lunch at his personal golf course the next day. He sent his personal car to pick me up and deliver me to the golf course. When I arrived, I found a marvelous wonderland of flowers that I had never seen before. Birds of Paradise were everywhere. I was startled to see peons everywhere watering each flower by hand with huge water buckets. Other peons were cutting the grass on the course by hand using giant scissors! El Presidente had his staff set up tables on the 18th green and we were served lunch there. The first course turned out to be ceviche made with the local langostinos. Except for the sushi I had in Japan, I had never eaten raw fish before. Then El Presidente explained that the lime juice that was used in the preparation actually cooked the fish. It was so delicious, I asked for the recipe and was granted it.

LIME CEVICHE

Lime Ceviche image

If you haven't had ceviche, you are in for a real treat. You can make this with shrimp, fish, or scallops. Be aware that the seafood is not cooked in the traditional way, but is "cooked" in the lime juice mixture. There is a chemical process that occurs when the acid of the citrus comes in contact with the fish is similar what happens when the fish is cooked, and the flesh becomes opaque and firm. This ceviche is fresh and delicious!! Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the freshest fish possible. Fresh fish will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm, opaque flesh. Avoid fish that is discolored, slimy, or has a strong odor.
Use a variety of citrus fruits. Lime is the traditional citrus used in ceviche, but you can also use lemon, orange, or grapefruit. Using a variety of citrus fruits will give your ceviche a more complex flavor.
Don't overcook the fish. Ceviche is a raw fish dish, so it's important not to overcook the fish. The fish should be cooked through, but it should still be tender and slightly translucent.
Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is the traditional fat used in ceviche, but you can also use other types of oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil. A good quality olive oil will give your ceviche a rich, fruity flavor.
Season your ceviche to taste. Ceviche is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. You can add salt, pepper, garlic, onions, cilantro, and other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Ceviche is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect ceviche every time.
