Episode 826: Fish Sauce & Lemons

Guest Chef: Ken Oringer

One of the main sources of flavor in Southeast Asian cooking is fish sauce with lime.  Instead of using limes, Ming pairs fish sauce with lemons to create unique and flavorful dishes.  In the kitchen, Ming calls on fish sauce to lend deep flavor to his “All-In-One” Shrimp Scampi.  Ming draws inspiration from Blue Ginger's   crispy calamari when he prepares a variation on that theme: Crispy Marinated Scallop Coins.  Also on the menu are Cucumber and Smoked Salmon Summer Rolls, a delicious spin on the Southeast Asian favorite most commonly prepared with shrimp.   Guest Ken Oringer takes us to the Massachusetts coastline where he pulls lobsters to use with today’s master pair in his Grilled Lobster with Thai Curry Butter & Grilled Lemons.
