New Style Sashimi
- 18 ounces red snapper fillet
- 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
- 1 (3-inch) knob ginger, peeled and julienned very thinly and plunged briefly in cold water
- Menengi or chives
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds, toasted
- Yuzu Soy sauce, recipe follows
- 1 carrot curl, for garnish
- New Style Oil, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon yuzu juice (best if fresh, but bottled available in Asian markets)
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons pure olive oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- Cut fish fillet into paper-thin slices using the usu-zukuri cutting technique: Place fillet horizontally on chopping board with skin side up and tail end to left, steadying that side with fingers of left hand.
- Hold very sharp, long, thin-bladed pointed knife so that the top, blunt edge is inclined sharply to the right and, from the left side of fillet, start cutting paper-thin slices.
- Keep the blade at an acute angle to achieve a clean cut across the grain.
- The fish is sliced in one drawing stroke.
- Let the weight of the knife do the work as you draw the blade back toward yourself.
- Keep fingers of left hand clear.
- Arrange fish slices on serving plate.
- On each slice dab a little grated garlic and place ginger spears and a few menengi or chives.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over fish.
- Drizzle yuzu soy sauce over top of entire arrangement and garnish with carrot curl.
- Just prior to serving, heat the New Style Oil in a small frying pan until just before it begins to smoke.
- Pour it over fish slices and serve.
