About this Pre-Recorded Class:
What’s on the Menu:
Penang-Style Classic Assam Laksa
Modern “Dry” Assam Laksa Kering
Description:
What’s the best soup in the world? We think it may be laksa, which is an essential dish of Penang, the culinary epicenter of Malaysia. Join guest teacher Linda Tay Esposito at this pre-recorded livestream small group workshop that puts the lessons of an entire semester of culinary school into one single bowl. You’ll make a homemade chili paste that is a seminar in the fundamental tastes, balancing spicy, savory, tart, sweet and salty in perfect proportions. We cover the classic French technique of making fumet fish stock, then put a uniquely Malaysian spin on it with the addition of tart tamarind paste. You’ll be put through the paces with your knife skills as you carefully julienne shallot and cucumber, slice alliums, chiffonade herbs and trim pineapple. And you’ll learn how to perfectly cook rice noodles, poach fish and make smart substitutions. Not in a soup mood? Linda also shows you how to make a “dry” version of laksa, which combines the flavors of laksa with the techniques of wok cooking to make a speedy stir fry.
What's Included: You will receive a .zip file that includes the cooking school video as well as PDFs of the recipe instructions.
