RE: Aubergine Escalopes with Coconut Rice and Peanut Sauce

in #vegan6 years ago

Another great inspiration for tonight. Interesting peanut sauce with that tiniest hint of tomato + plenty of parsley, not a combination I would have thought of. I'll see if it works for sunflowerpaste (or maybe almond paste?) since I can't eat peanuts.

Been trying to get two of your ingredients forever: Kaffir lime leaves and grapeseed oil. Can only find some for facial treatment in a cosmetic line... Will try with Rapeseed oil instead (but not sure if this is ok heated to a high temperature, I'v heard it's a delicate oil best reserved for salads, but the abundant, common plant always suggests a more robust variety to me! Otherwise maybe sunflower oil? What alternative would you recommend? ).

I might have to venture to an exotic part of town for the lime leaves one day as my one non-organic ingredient. There are too many recipes piled up for me now requiring it, I am curious what it adds and how come nothing else (lemon grass or bayleaf) can replace it (it always seems to be used in combination with those two.).

Oh, and what do you mean by "white" miso paste? Is this with the rice or barley or without? Hard to tell from photo, too. I never know which to take, tried them all but forget which tastes best for which recipe.

Sort:  

You can use rapeseedoil for frying, no problem, top chef Virgilio Martinez uses it too. It took me a while too to find kaffir lime leaves, was surprised when i finally saw it in the exotic department of my main supermarket, they have the grapeseed oil too, the difference is just in the "g" anyways :)

You can't compare kaffir lime leaves to bay leaves, they have a very strong lemon flavor.
Now I only need to find asam pepper which I search for for ages needing it for a specific dish.

White miso is still fermented soy beans but with more rice, the color is light beige and it tastes slightly sweet.
