Description
This wonderful recipe first takes us to Asia. The base is kimchi, a white cabbage from Korea fermented with chilli and spices. It is served with classic fried green asparagus. And now comes the point where Asia meets Europe. A hollandaise sauce is refined with a Japanese miso paste. As the saying goes ... fusion cuisine? If that's the case, then this encounter has been a great success!

Zutaten für

For the dish

10 Bar(s) green asparagus
2 Tablespoon(s) canola oil
150 g kimchi
1 egg yolk
200 g butter, melted
15 g miso paste, light
1 Tablespoon(s) soy sauce
1 Tablespoon(s) water
1 Tablespoon(s) lemon
1 Teaspoon(s) chili sauce
salt, pepper, brown sugar

Preparation

  • Total time: 20 min

Prepare the dish

1
Drain the kimchi in a sieve and then arrange in the centre of a plate. Melt the butter if necessary.
2
In a bowl, mix the egg yolk, miso paste, soy sauce, water, lemon juice and chilli sauce and then whisk the mixture over a hot water bath for about a minute until frothy. Important: The temperature of the sauce must be monitored throughout the preparation of the miso hollandaise. If the sauce is too hot, the egg will curdle.
3
Slowly pour the melted butter into the egg and spice mixture, stirring constantly. Take care to ensure that no fat globules form on the surface or are immediately stirred into the sauce. Continue until the butter is completely absorbed into the sauce and a thick, foamy sauce has formed. Flavour with salt, pepper and sugar if necessary.
4
Set the sauce aside and heat a pan with a little oil. Remove the woody ends from the asparagus spears and then cut the spears to length.
5
Fry the asparagus on all sides until it is cooked al dente. Then arrange on the kimchi and serve with the miso hollandaise.
