Thai-inspired Yu Sheng
Inspired by Som Tam (Thai papaya salad), one-Michelin-starred Alma by Juan Amador has come up with a unique reinterpretation of Yu Sheng for the lunar new year. Instead of the usual salmon sashimi, one can look forward to the amply fatty chutoro, a prized part of the tuna belly, amongst other tasty ingredients such as green papaya, carrots, turnip, daikon (winter radish), myoga (Japanese young ginger) and seaweed from the coast of Brittany, France.
Beetroot adds a dash of auspicious red to the toss, and an indulgent drizzling of plum and black truffle vinaigrette enriches the flavours and brings it all together. To top it all off, the dish is adorned with cresses, edible flowers, as well as a yuzu kosho (a spicy yuzu mix) snow for that refreshing, zesty touch.
