Asian Flavored Aioli Recipes

SRIRACHA AIOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Add mayo, sriracha, lime juice and garlic to a medium bowl, whisking to combine. Season to taste with salt and more sriracha if needed.
• If you're sensitive to spice, start by just adding 1 tablespoon of sriracha to the sauce, and increase to taste. I like a good amount of spice, so I used the full 2 tablespoons of sriracha in the aioli shown above. Store aioli in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

HOMEMADE AIOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small food processor or cup using an immersion blend, whisk together yolks, lemon juice and zest, and mustard. Pulse, scraping down the sides, until it becomes a pale yellow paste.
• While whisking or while the immersion blender is on, very slowly pour the oil into the yolk mixture. It should start to thicken and combine, but if it it does seperate, stop adding the oil and continue to whisk until it combines again, then resume the oil.
• When fully combine, add the garlic and salt, either giving a few more quick pulses or folding in by hand. If you plan to add chives or black pepper, fold them in as well.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors marry.

FISH AND CHIPS WITH CHINESE BLACK VINEGAR AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare a fryer or large stock pot filled 1/3 with oil at 375 degrees. First, blanch the taro, sweet potatoes and potatoes in the fryer for about 6 minutes until they are soft and slightly tan. Drain on paper towels and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, white pepper, oil and sesame seeds. Slowly add the beer while whisking. The batter should resemble pancake batter. Dip each piece of fish in the batter and gently drop in the fryer. Fry until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Take out with spider or tongs and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with fleur de sel. Turn fryer up to 450 degrees and fry the fish a second time, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with seasoned salt.
• In a food processor, add the yolks and garlic and puree at high speed. Slowly drizzle in the oil until in comes together (emulsifies). Then add the oil a little quicker until you have a thick mayonnaise. Add the 2 vinegars and season. The aioli will be much lighter and thinner once the vinegars are added. Fold in the chives.
• Plating: Using an Asian newspaper lined with parchment, roll a large cone and fill with fries. Top off with fish and serve the aioli on the side in a small decorative dish. Garnish with chives.
• Beverage: Very cold English Bitter
