Fried scallop and yellow croaker with yam mashed potato and okra with lemon grass and kumquat sauce

Introduction:

"Yesterday, I had the honor to chat with a well-known local gourmet who came to the hotel for dinner. When I talked about the French cooking method, I always felt that there was only" free riding horse "to describe it. Really, only you can think of it. There is nothing he can't do. It seems that several unrelated ingredients can become exquisite dishes comparable to works of art in their hands. Seeing the western food competition in the gourmet world, as a professional Western food caterer, how can he not show his hand? Ordinary, the Internet has already been everywhere to follow, you food God has already done their best, can only be imitated, it is difficult to be surpassed. He decided to make a creative dish of his own. The scallops in the pond are not bad, and the small yellow croaker is also very fresh. These ingredients are already very delicious. Just a little frying is enough to present its flavor. This is also the most common way to deal with seafood in French food. In the basket, I saw yam, the most traditional Chinese food, because it is very suitable for making mud after being cooked, and the mud like root vegetables are just the most suitable for the most side dishes. If you think about it carefully, the white yam mud on the white Western food plate has no color to speak of. Suddenly, I was inspired to think of purple potato, which is very colorful. The white yam just reconciles the deep color of purple potato Color, in addition to some cream, can make my dream of lavender light purple. Sweet potato was found in the basket of purple potato. Yellow and purple are perfect match, two kinds of potato, two kinds of "harmonious but different" flavor. The taste of mashed potato is too soft and glutinous, with some crispy okra, which enhances the color level of the dish. As for sauce, it's really a blessing in disguise. Before I saw someone using kumquat sauce with Foie Gras on Weibo, I couldn't help but want to use this very Chinese style fruit to make some sauce. I really don't want to use the rich milk sauce to suppress the original taste of the food. Kumquat is more sour and sweet, but when it is boiled into sauce, the flavor is unavoidably insufficient, and the taste tends to be monotonous. Add some lemon grass with clear fragrance, honey as sweetener, add orange juice, think it's not bad. But in fact, the sauce became the biggest highlight, but it was because I made a mistake in the operation. Because I didn't stir enough after adding honey, and I didn't add enough orange juice, I finally boiled very dry, almost showing a caramel color. But when I tasted it, it was sour and sweet with a bitter taste, and the aftertaste had a faint aroma of lemongrass, a taste of memory. "
