Dish it out.


Recently, we had dinner at Pan-Asia on County Line Road in Ridgeland, where the old Brick Oven restaurant used to be, and we were pleasantly surprised to find such an authentic menu of Thai dishes (served on beautiful black and red Gall Pittman pottery!). Our favorite thing, however, was the Miso-Glazed Sea Bass. Could you see if chef Grant Nooe would share his recipe? I would love to re-create this dish for our friends in Denver.

Denver, Colorado
MISO-GLAZED SEA BASS

1 cup Miso paste
1 cup Mirin sweet rice wine
4 (10-ounce) sea bass fillets
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3 ounces butter
2 cups jasmine rice
2 cups coconut milk
cup water
2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for sauteing

Combine Miso paste with Mirin, and emulsify until completely
mixed. Marinate sea bass in Miso mixture for at least 1
hour before cooking.

For balsamic glaze, in a small saucepan, simmer balsamic
vinegar until it is almost completely dry, then remove from heat
and slowly add butter until it is emulsified. Set aside.

Thoroughly rinse rice until most of the starch is removed.
Place rinsed rice in a medium saucepan. Add coconut milk and
water. Add curry powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for
20 minutes or until rice is fluffy. Set aside.

In a medium skillet, add a small amount of oil, enough to lightly
coat the bottom of the skillet. Heat oil until it is almost smoking.
Add marinated fish, and sear on both sides until flesh becomes
brown and caramelized. Transfer seared fish to a pan for baking,
and place in a preheated 350-degree oven. Cook for about 3 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove, and set on
plates with rice. Place about 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze around
fish to accent the presentation. You may add steamed asparagus
and broiled tomatoes to plate if desired. Yield: 4 servings.


Pan-Asia chef Grant Nooe has created a wonderful menu that has something for every palate palate (păl`ĭt), roof of the mouth.

Traveling back home, I had the opportunity to eat lunch at Back Door restaurant in Columbia, and the appetizer we tried was outstanding! Any chance you could get chef Fran Ginn to give up the recipe for her Mushroom mushroom, type of basidium fungus characterized by spore-bearing gills on the underside of the umbrella- or cone-shaped cap. The name toadstool is popularly reserved for inedible or poisonous mushrooms, but this classification has no scientific basis.  Bruschetta bruschetta

MUSHROOM BRUSCHETTA

4 diagonal-cut slices French bread, grilled
cup mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sherry
1 small sprig fresh tarragon, chopped

2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Truffle oil, chopped fresh parsley, and
grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Place sliced French bread on a hot grill

absence of a grill, bread can be toasted in
the oven or in a grill pan.

In a skillet, saute mushrooms in olive

mushrooms has evaporated. Add heavy
cream, sherry, tarragon, and green
onions, and boil for about 2-3 minutes
