first up dashi, the base for many sauces and also the stock for miso soup.
konbu [kelp] and shaved dried bonito flakes
squid somen on somen noodles [could not find fresh hearts of palm so i used somen noodles] served with sliced daikon and store bought somen sauce
-
lotus root chips with salmon and yuzu miso sauce . green is a shisho or sesame leaf and i substituted lemon for yuzu.
chips fried in grapeseed oil on the mini in the JL handleless pan

seared salmon tartare with tobiko and wasabi soy sauce. minced raw samon in a ring mold into 1/2 inch hot grape seed oil in the pan on the mini then into the freezer sliced in half and plated with grilled shitakes
-
octopus carpacio on a bed of celery dressing si olive oil lemon juice and a touch of soy. i could not find a large uncooked octopus so i bought already steamed
-
Unbelievable bill! If I hadn't read the Nubo cookbook I would have sworn you just copied and posted the pics from the book. If I attempted a Japanese cook, it would take me a full week of prep. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!
-
quick simmered baby octopus . simmerring sauce was dashi, grated ginger , pepper . slice red jalapenos and a hot japanese pepper powder. [on the mini too ]
so ends last nights dinner.. tonights up next -
teh preceeding were all last night tonights dinner was more squid somen
more octopus carpacio
and nobu cod marinated in a mix of sake sugar white miso and mirin served with chopped spinace with sesame dressing and a rice with soy vey
cod was grilled on the mini

bill -
thank you .. it took me a long time to ,, i took the book to the store :laugh: to consult while shopping these were progressive dinners .. prep and serve one course and then on to the next.. fun if you have enough sake time for me to crash ,,
-
The food, the presentation, the pictures, wow! Looks fantastic! Cheers!
-
lcb - outstanding food, outstanding pics
bet you used a few japanese knives along the way
thanks for sharing -
Funny....I just had my Nobu book open tonight ... mostly dreaming. I love Nobu's Hamachi with jalapeno.
Looks like good stuff you have there. Thanks for sharing! -
That looks outstanding! I bet it tasted just as good. :woohoo: :woohoo:
-
bill:
Amazing! I love the presentation and can appreciate how difficult it was to make. You did a fine job sir. -
If anyone needs me, I'll be at bill's!!! Just awesome!
-
everything looks fantastic. thanks for sharingcontext is important
-
WOW all I can say is WOW... talk about taking the mini to a new level of cooking. thank you for sharing all that...
-
good thing i lost some of the pics or that thread would have gone on forever.. it was fun to do .. thanks..
-
it was all good .. the whole baby octopus dish was a bit hot for my taste then japanese red pepper powder was too much but i will adjust that,, and the red jalapenos are much hotter than green ones. and i got to play with my knives..
-
anything to show what can be done with the mini .. it was fun thanks
-
Absolutely beautiful! Making me hungry though. Now I'll be heading for the closest Japanese, although it's not Nobu.
-
thanks .. i think we have had enough squid and octopus for a while though
-
thanks frank .. and i did use my japanese knives ... which for me is as enjoyable as eating the finished product....
-
me too.. i bought a sashimi grade whole fluke a while back and made that,..i was going to post the pictures when i got a virus .
-
Dude, next time you're cooking like this I'm inviting myself over.
john -
thank you ...couple of hours shopping and 4 hrs cooking sunday and about 3 last night ,, glad i did it..
-
thank you ... maybe i will pack squid instead of scrapple in my suitcase for the sunshine fest... :laugh:
-
you like japanese?
i have eaten at nobu twice ,, much less expensive to do it myself,,, and now i have the book
next competition i can bring squid and octopus for friday night dinner .. finish off with some ice cold jagermeister :laugh: -
Oh yeah, we love Japanese food. There's a restaurant down in Wilmington called Mikimotos that we get to a few times a year... crazy, loud, brassy, visual overload atmosphere and the food is great, too.
Forgot to mention I ate at Nobu NY years ago and it blew my socks off.
Bring on that squid, octo jager.... I'll eat and rink it all!
john
