Technique

  • Smoke Oil (with Lapsang Souchong Tea) & Smoke Oil–Poached Fish

    The recipe is completely scalable for any amount of tea or oil you have; I like to do an 8:1 ratio by volume. If you want it to be very concentrated, think like an enfleurage: infuse once, strain out the tea, and then infuse the oil a second time with new tea. And if you’re looking for avenues to experiment further, try some other oil you like the flavor of—perhaps a blend of grapeseed and sesame, some sweet and light olive oil, rich and dark-green pumpkin seed oil. 

  • Roasted Mushrooms to Die For

    You won’t believe how good mushrooms can taste. All you need is soy sauce, a bit of honey, and a dash of smoked paprika. After a quick roast, they’re crispy and packed with deep umami. You can serve these mushrooms as a main dish accompanied by cooked buckwheat, or use them in Miso Żurek with Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Mushrooms, and Dill.
