wasabi and panko crusted talapia
Patch & Sara Cook has laid dormant for months now. Partly because I've been busy and partly because writing out recipes is kind of boring sometimes. Especially when there's exciting stuff to blog about like fake toe injuries and tearing up tile. I finally got off my A double dollar signs and decided to post something. I also decided to cross post the recipe over here. Enjoy. Or don't. I don't care. I really don't. You're all just props in a movie about my life anyway:
Sara and I were watching the Next Food Network Star the other night and one of the contestants used panko in a recipe. Panko, apparently, is a Japanese bread crumb. Sara claims a friend of our fixed a dish once breaded in panko. I don't remember it, though. At any rate, we decided to try using it in a dish. Here are the ingredients:
Two talapia filets
1 tablespoon wasabi paste
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Sesame seeds
First up, mix the wasabi paste, the water, the vinegar, and the soy sauce in a small bowl. Coat the talapia in the mixture. Next coat the fish in the breadcrumbs. Press the filets down a couple of times on each side to really make the breading stick. Once both pieces are coated, put them in the fridge and let them set for about twenty minutes.
Next, heat your oil over medium heat and add your talapia. Cook them on each side for three to five minutes depending on the thickness of your fish. Once they're nicely browned, take them out and let them set for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with Sesame seeds.
Sara and I served our fish with sushi rice. We thought it would go nicely with the lightwasabi flavor of the fish (which is very light in case you're worried about setting your nostrils on fire). I had trouble getting the rice to the right consistency, though. I'm gonna blame it on the fact that it was sushi rice instead of user error, but come on, we all know...
This is my favorite!!
