    That’s a mighty fine looking plate, indeed. 

    Did you use the bag juice for anything?

    Done similar thing with sea bass using the broth to steam. Mine in no way looked like your plate though. 😂

    WOW!

    Did not this time. “Bag juice” sounds nasty.

    Was really good. Steal away! 

    Did a 4:1 Salt/sugar dry brine for 30 min. Rinsed, bagged,  and SV at 113 for an hour. Dried with paper towel, drizzled with sesame oil and brushed with jus for a hard sear. Then placed the fish over The forbidden rice and added more jus. 

    I was skeptical of thw 113f SV temp but it was money. Best fish I’ve ever done.

    the texture of the fish was amazing. almost creamy but still flaky. Hard to describe but I will do all my fish SV from now on.

    Just realized the pic is totally out of focus- looks like a guy who had 4 glasses of wine took it...oh wait.

    What makes the rice "forbidden"?

    had to look it up myself:

    Black rice, also called forbidden rice or "emperor's rice," is gaining popularity for its high levels of antioxidants and superior nutritional value. Forbidden rice earned its name because it was once reserved for the Chinese emperor to ensure his health and longevity, and forbidden to anyone else.

    Looks good from here! Thanks for the reminder that I need to order more forbidden rice. During Lent I like to up my game with my fish dishes using forbidden rice. Its black color adds to the presentation.
