Salmon Sous Vide with Georgeous Spanish Saffron Curry Paste

I’m using beer cooler & ziplock bag for my sousvideurried salmon fillet, just like my previously Sous Vide Eel Fillet Recipe and Sous Vide Salmon Fillet Stuffed with Tofu Curd Recipe. Instead of beer cooler, any kind of heat insulating chamber is good to go for sous vide fish fillet; thermos, dewar flask or vacuum flask, as long the chamber is big enought to completely submerging the entire salmon fish fillet and also mantaining the waterbath temperature for extended periods of time.

Sous Vide Salmon Fillet Saffron Curry

Sous-vide is French term for “under vacuum”, a method of cooking food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a water bathor in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times for up to 96 hours, in some cases; at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 40°C (104 F) t0 45°C (113 F) for fish,  50°C (131 F) to 60°C (140 F) for meats and higher for vegetables.

Curried Salmon Fillet Sous Vide with Saffron & Spicy Vegetables Curry

Sous vide salmon curry or other fish fillet with beer cooler is a very simple; simply fill up your beer cooler with water just a couple degrees higher than the temperature you’d like to cook your food at (to account for temperature loss when you add cold food to it), seal your food in a plastic ziplock bag, drop it into the beer cooler waterbath, and close your beer cooler until your food is cooked. You can simply adjust the temperature to your preference with hot water after the waterbath temperature drop about (1-2)°C after 20 minutes soaking your salmon fillet, that’s why it’s better you use a good insulating beer cooler. Yup, it is that simple!!!

The best ingredients for low temperature sous vide salmon is sashimi grade salmon or vaccumed packed and flash frozen salmon fillet because the low temperature waterbath (40-50C) in sous vide method won’t killed all kind bacteria spores or parasit, especially this salmon fillet served in mi cuit or french style half cooked, so i suggest this low temparature salmon sous vide should never be served to immune compromised individuals like baby, elderly or pregnant woman. like i mention before, low temperature cooked salmon need prolonged period of cooking, so it won’t reach the savety zone without compromising the texture into mushy mess.

Barely Cooked Salmon Saffron Curry “mi cuit” or “half cooked” in French

The salmon fish fillet saffron curry cooked in 45°Celcius beer cooler waterbath for 45 to 60 minutes maximum until it mi cuit or French style “half cooked” salmon with succulent, tender and a little bit flaky. Loot at the color of the saffron curry marinated salmon fillet above, it’s moist, orange and barely cooked. The sous vide method retains the salmon fillet vibrant orange color, its briny juices, and produces a soft texture and nothing like tough, dry, greyish, and flaky fish in agressive high heat traditional cooking.

Georgeous Vibrant Yellowish Orange Color of Low Temperature Sous Vide Salmon in Saffron Curry Paste

Never cooked the salmon fillet in sous vide low temperature waterbath more than 60 minutes because it will compromised the salmon texture into mushy and losen it’s succulent texture. The maximum temperature for cooking salmon in sous vide is about 55°C because higher temperature will be contract and expelled the water content within the fish flesh and made the salmon become dry and too flaky.

Crispy & Crackling Pan Fried Salmon Skin

I fried the salmon skin until crispy and crackling. To make a stunning presentation of straight fried crispy salmon skin is easy, first you should have a scalled salmon skin and a non stick fry pan. Heat a little bit avocado oil on non sticky pan than seared the scale side down of the salmon skin, just before the salmon skin wringkled, i put some flat heavy goods (porcelain ramekin, small caseroll, etc) over the salmon skin to press the skin down and prevent it wringkled. Let the salmon skin pan fried slowly until crispy with a very gentle heat. Don’t forget to spray some oil too on the surface of the heavy thing you put over the salmon skin to prevent the skin sticking. Once the salmon skin scales side is crispy, you need to flip it out and finish to crisp up the other side.

The baked chicken in yogurt and milk custard is inspired by Jamie Oliver roasted chicken in milk which is really moist and taste damn delicious and comforting, but there’s a flaws about it. The skin side of the chicken that facing the milk mixture is soggy and there’s a separated curd and gravy once it cooked. So i adjust the recipe a little bit to make a little bit dry curd and add any ingredients that suits my licking.

The milk and yogurt curd mixture for the roasted chicken can be seasoned with any kind of your favourite herbs; rosemarry, thyme, sage, bayl eaves and a dash of cinnamon is  just perfect for my licking, I also like some licorice flavour of dill weed and some star anise, it’s blend perfectly with the tangy creamy yogurt. Fresh herbs for this yogurt and milk custard baked chicken is preferred, but eversince it’s kinda hard to find this western kitchen ingredients, the dry herbs is working well too.

You can improved the yogurt and milk custard by adding some Homemade Fresh Pork Sausages or some Homemade Spicy Chorizo into it, even chopped precoooked veggies to made some real heavy one pot caserole roasted chicken sounds a good idea.

This recipe is awesome, you’ve got all the scrumptious things about roasted chicken; the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and succulent.

This is the secret recipe to make a very crispy roasted chicken skin; blowing the skin off the meat, so the fat in between can rendered and make the skin crispy. First, you need to clean and wash throughly the chicken with running water, pat it really dry with paper towel before you inflated the skin. You can use your finger to separate the chicken skin from it’s meat but i had another option with greater result; using air pump!

Yup it is that easy, i’ve try to use this technique for my Roasted Peking Duck and Herb Butter Roasted Chicken, and it’s skin turned out really crispy!!!

Right after the chciken skin inflated with pump throughly, i butterfly it from the breast side and then rubbed it with generous ammount of salt, pepper and crushed sage leaves. After the chicken skin inflated completely, you can butterfly or even spatchcock the chicken to make it easier to roast in the conventional oven. For this recipe, i need to pre-roasted the chicken before baked it with milk and yogurt curd, so i put the chicken over metal rack in a shallow baking pan and then roasted it with upper heat only to browned the sin a little bit. Remember, you don’t want to cooked the chicken, just need to rendered the skin fat a little bit to make it crispy.

After the chicken roasted until slighly browned with skin side up using only upper heat, the chicken laid with skin side up in a caserole pyrex glass. The gravy from the half cooked chicken colected and mixed with milk, yogurt and any other ingredients then poured on the side of the half cooked chicken to baste only the meat side of the chicken. The chicken caserole than baked until the curd is browned and completely set for about 45  minutes.

Choose the heatproof and foodgrade ziplock bag with a good sealing feature, cheap ziplock bag may burst out while cooking and ruined your entire kobe beef batch.

Kobe Beef (Bottom Right) Sous Vide at 64°C with Rice Cooker Waterbath

I slowly cooked the kobe beef using my old rice cooker as a sous vide waterbath. As you can see from the photograph, my waterbath temperature was 64°C , but it’s actually fluctuated from 63 to 64°C if i  put the lid on. I adjust the temperature of the rice cooker waterbath with covering the the meatal pot, the more you cover hence the tempersture will get closer to the maximum temperature when you put the lid on. I let the kobe beef brisket sit in the rice cooker waterbath for about 1 hours, don’t get hesitate to leave it longer in the waterbath because it’s not a single chance your beef will overcooked, but definitely no further than 2 hours or it turn into mushy because the fat is totally renderred.  The heat source of my rice cooker is on the bottom of the metal pot, so the temperature in the bottom and the surface of the the water bath is different with about 0.5°C range, so it’s necessary to flip it every 20-30 minutes to made the beef evenly cooked. Do not forget to submerged the vaccum packed beef sirloin completely on the waterbath during the sous vide cooking, i’m putting some glass plate for that purpose.

My homemade ponzu is made by simmering rice vinegar, mirin, , katsuobushi (dried smoked bonito or skipjack tuna flakes), and seaweed (kombu) over medium heat. The liquid is then cooled, strained to remove the katsuobushi flakes, and finally the juice of one or more of the following citrus fruits is added; local kaffir lime called jeruk jungga. Commercial ponzu is generally sold in glass bottle, you can purchased it in any Asian-Japanese groceries store, but i guess it’ taste even better if you made it from scratch.

Recipe Scallops Rockefeller (Broiled Half Shell Scallop with Cheesy Spinach Herbs Crust & Spinach Puree)

Recipe Scallop Rockefeller (Broiled Half Shell Scallop with Spinach Puree & Cheesy Herbs Crust Topping. This dish is  a scallops version of oyster rockefeller. Scallops Rockefeller is consists of scallop on the half-shell, topped with various ingredients (often parsley, basil and other green herbs, a rich butter sauce and bread crumbs) and are then baked or broiled

The scallop rockefeller was named  after John D. Rockefeller, the most whealthy American multi billionaire at the time, for the intense richness of the sauce. Though the original recipe is a secret, the sauce is known to be a puree of a number of green vegetables other than spinach. It consists of oysters on the half-shell topped with the sauce and bread crumbs and then baked. Scallop rockefeller topping is similiar to it’s relatives  french dish; Escargot ( baked snail with herbs butter)

My scallops rockefeller got a little bit kick from the chili that i used within the topping. I can’t help it, my Indonesian licking always need some chillies for almost every dish. I make some dry chili relish by sauteeing the chopped shallots and garlic until browned and caramelized first, then i add finely chopped fresh bird eye chilli and stirred it well until all ingredients soften a little bit. The final touch is  add some anise flavoured liquor, eversince it’s not easy to get here in Indonesia, i’m using some white wine instead and add freshly grated star anise into it.

Though many restaurants around the world serve dishes purporting to be oysters Rockefeller, chef Antoine’s claims that no other restaurant has been able to successfully duplicate the recipe. well, since the sighnature dish recipe is seems so sacret, competing restaurants have had to formulate their own recipes.

Now, forget the authentic rockefeller sauce recipe, we’ll gonna made Dentist Chef scallops Rockefeller. The fresh, plump and representative size US scallops seared first using blowtorch flames to make a nice crust in the outside layer without any chance to cooked the internal meat. You can use a sizzling skillet too for searing the scallop, but it tend to cooked the scallop and it’s more likely to be overcooked once it baked or broiled.

This is the scallops rockefeller topping ingredients; breadcrumbs, butter, chili relish, grated parmigiano reggiano cheese and green herbs. The green herbs is mixture of very finely chopped parsley, basil leaves and garlic chives. The chili relish is made of sauteed garlic and shallots with olive oil until browned and caramelized, finely chopped deseeded chili then added and sautee until nice and throughly cooked. The authentic rockefeller sauce usually contain anise flavoured liquor but i replace it by glazing the chili relish with dry white wine and a little bit of freshly grated star anise and let all the moisture evaporated before mix it with the breadcrumbs topping.

The scallops rockefeller crust basic ingredients for making a crispy and crumbly topping for the baked half shell scallop is a finely chopped herbs, butter and breadcrumbs. All ingredients must be dry and had a very little amount of moisture, so it’s important you wiped away the fresh green herbs before chopped; in the other hand, the chili relish must be dry enought before added into the breadcrumbs  unless the crust topping will become soggy.

I add extra grated parmigiano-regiano cheese to the topping to finish it before putting the half shell scallop rockefeller into the broiler oven. I love grated parmigiano-reggiano for topping any crust because it’s melted easily and act as a bonding agen for the topping. The grated parmigino reggiano cheese allow the moisture evaporates from the topping once it broiled in the oven. Do not to eager to add too many parmigiano reggiano cheese to cover the breadcrumbs topping, unless the moisture is locked and the result is soggy and pale topping covered on cheese crust.

The authentic recipe for rockefeller sauce is remain as a secret eversince the founder chef Antoine’s refused to publicised the recipe, including denial the using of spinach on it. This secrecy even intrigues William Poundstone in Bigger Secrets in 1986 to analised it and found that primary ingredients were parsley, celery, scallions or chives, olive oil, and capers, hence i add spinach and also the fragrance green herbs for Dentist Chef version of scallops Rockefeller.

My version of scallops rockefeller got a base of scallops on the shalf shell, then a bed of butter favoured  chopped spinach placed on it. The plump and juicy scallops which is previously seared with blowtorch flames place, then topped with a mixture of green herbs infused butter and breadcrumbs that later broiled until crusted.

Veal is the meat of young cattle (calves), in contrast to the beef from older cattle.  Veal is a gourmet ingredients and more expensive than beef from older cattle simply because it’s delicated and tender. I apreciate veal very much, my first veal recipe on my blog was a classic French dish Veal Teanderloin Escalopes, a thin sliced veal loin, lighly floured and fried with a little bit of butter then cooked with green peppercorn, stock and muchrooms. Because veal is lean or lower in fat than many meats, care must be taken in preparation to ensure that it does not become tough. Veal is often coated in preparation for frying or eaten with a sauce.

The veal steak cooked and served with spicy rendang sauce. Beef Rendang Daging Sapi is Indonesian dry curry dish made of cutlet of beef that slowly cooked for several hours in a spicy curry until the spices and the coconut cream darken, dried and caramelized. This is simply why Beef Rendang along with Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) in one of the most popular Indonesian dish through out the world. CNN even established rendang as number one of from World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods’ list. So today i make beef  steak with rendang sauce, so it’s a sort of fusion of western cooking techniques with Indonesian traditional dish. If you’ve got lazy about making rendang sauce like i did, you can purchased the Indonesian beef rendang spice paste at Amazon, there are several brand, but i really love Kokita brand rendang spice paste. But if you really got the patience, you should made this homemade Authentic Indonesian Beef Rendang Sapice Paste Recipe.

Sous-vide steak is a gourmet restaurant  popular preparation now. Sous vide is French cooking technique, the food sealed in airtight plastic bags in a temperature-controlled water bath for longer than normal cooking times for up to 96 hours, in some cases; at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 50°C (131 F) to 60°C (140 F) for meats and higher for vegetables. I’ve been try to Black Angus Striploin Sous Vide and it turn out good, even tought cut of Beef Brisket Sous Vide created a tender and succulent meat. Sous vide also used to pasteurized egg, beef and other meat to made it save to be eaten raw without cooking it. I pasteurized my beef tenderloin to make Yukhoe (Raw Korean Seasoned Beef Steak Tartare with Asian Pear).

The sous vide veal steak got evenly medium rare pinkish color from edge to edge eventhough i’m using rice cooker waterbath and ziplock bag instead of vaccum machines for making it. Damn i love sous vide cooking technique ! i can imagine if i got the real thing. Eversince i marinated the veal with the instant rendang dry spice paste overnight, the spices penetrated the veal all the way through and it’s taste pretty damn good even eaten itself without the rendang spice paste gravy. The delicate and tender veal beef striploin is marinated and packed with spicy rendang sauce spice paste. The hot and spicy instant rendang sauce blend well into a stunning dish, i can trace the chili, ginger, garlic and shallots, cardamon, caramelized coconut milk and many more spices in the middle of the veal steak once i chew it out. I guess marinating the veal beef with the spices is a very important step for making rendang flavoured beef steak.

I served the rendang spiced veal steak with crispy deep fried yam or taro french fries. Beside, i also add Mashed Japanese Purple Sweet Potato and sweet potato chips. The baby carrot cooked sous vide method in 90°C waterbath, eversince my rice cooker can’t retain that kind of temperature hence i’m using my beer cooler, just like my previous recipe Sous Vide Eel Fillet.

Once you’ve purchased instant rendang spice paste, please read the instruction within the package, one sachet (60 grams) used to be seasoned 500 grams beef, so count yourself how much to season and marinade your beef steak. Watch the ammount of salt you’ve add to seasoned the veal steak because the rendang spice paste is quite salty. I marinade the veal sirloin steak ovenight in the fridge by putting it in a ziplock bag and then vaccum sealed it by submerging the ziplock bag in the water partially and then sealed it once the air is completely pushed out of the bag. I’m not adding any butter or oil into the beef steak because the instant rendang spice paste is already contain coconut cream.As usual, i’m using my old rice cooker for sous vide this veal sirloin steak for about 1 hour in 57°C. Rice cooker is a very cheap consistance tools to mantain the waterbath temperature. My rice cooker sous vide waterbath temperature was 56.6°C , but it’s actually fluctuated from 56 to 58°C if i didn’t put the lid on and lighly cover 2/3 of the metal pot mouth with alumunium foil. This is learning by doing things, if you had a thermometer, you can adjust the temperature to your preference in by covering the metal pot mouth with alumunium foil partially; the more you cover the pot, the temperature will be nearer to the maximum temperature. The heat source of my rice cooker is on the bottom of the metal pot, so the temperature in the bottom and the surface of the the water bath is different with about 0.5°C range, so it’s necessary to flip it every 20-30 minutes to made the sous vide steak evenly cooked. Do not forget to submerged the vaccum packed beef sirloin completely on the waterbath during the sous vide cooking, putting some weight may help.

Right after i sous vide the rendang spice marinated veal for 1 hour in 57°C  rice cooker waterbath, i take it out of the ziplock bag, drained a little bit and then seared it with blowtorch until the outside layer in both surface is slighly charred and browned.

Sorry guys, i had to make this teasing photograph of veal steak first cut, it’s evenly medium rare from edge to edge with delicious and charred outside layer and also very thin overcooked gray band mess. The veal steak is beautifully pink and very juicy eversince sous vide method is slow cooking process which the best wat to retain the moisture within the steak. Almost none of the moistutre loss during the sous vide method, there’s only flavour exchanced inside the vaccum packed ziplock bag.
