8 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 2016 Experiment with spicy international cuisine Experimenting with cuisine is one of the joys of cooking. It can be fun to prepare international cuisine at home, especially for those bold enough to try recipes that incorporate foods from more than one culture. Such is the case with the following recipe for “Korean-style Spicy Bouillabaisse Hotpot” from Takashi Sugimoto and Marcia Iwatate’s “Shunju: New Japanese Cuisine” (Periplus). Working with live seafood makes this dish particularly interesting, and the authors even include substitutes so those who have a hard time i nding many of the ingredients can still try their hands at this delicious hybrid dish. KOREAN-STYLE SPICY BOUILLABAISSE HOTPOT SERVES 4 5 quarts water 1 squid, about 111⁄2 ounces, cleaned (see note) 2 medium watari gani (blue swimmer crabs), about 61⁄2 ounces (substitute with dungeness or any other live crab or lobster), cleaned (see note) 5 pounds kinki (red snapper) (substitute with any fatty, white l esh i sh), cleaned, rinsed and heads removed, cut crosswise into steaks 61⁄2 ounces oysters (serve 1 or more per person depending on size), shucked 11⁄2 pounds scallops in their shell (serve 1 or more per person depending on size); (substitute with unshelled or frozen scallops) 5 ounces nagate ebi (similar to Italian scampi); (substitute with crawi sh, slice in half lengthwise and devein) 11⁄2 pounds hakusai (Chinese cabbage), roughly chopped Premium Burgers 5 ounces mizuna (pot herb mustard green); (substitute with any mustard greens or other green leaf vegetable, roughly chopped) 31⁄2 ounces naga negi (long welsh onion); (substitute with white part of scallion, roughly chopped) Seasonings 2 tablespoons Korean virgin sesame oil 1⁄3 cup koikuchi shoyu (soy sauce) 2 medium cloves garlic 2 tablespoons kochujang (Korean red chili paste), or to taste 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon Korean red pepper l akes 1.

Pour the stew into the earthenware or copper pot. Put the pot on the charcoal brazier or the portable gas stove at the table. Adjust heat to low to maintain a strong simmer throughout the course of the meal. 4. Add half of the chopped Chinese cabbage, thicker bottom pieces i rst. When the cabbage is thoroughly cooked, add half of the mizuna and welsh onion and, as soon as they have wilted, serve immediately, divided into individual small bowls. Or allow diners to serve themselves directly from the pot. 5.
