Ingredients
Togarashi Mayo:
Tempura Batter:
Avocado Sauce:
Tacos:
Directions
Special equipment:
a deep-fryer or deep-fry thermometer- For the togarashi mayo: Place the mayonnaise, sriracha, sugar, rice wine vinegar, togarashi, mirin and sesame oil in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
- For the tempura batter: In a bowl, combine the tempura flour, ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt, togarashi, beer and 1/2 cup water and mix thoroughly. Keep nice and cold, preferably over ice.
- For the avocado sauce: Place the cilantro (including the stems), tomatillos, avocado, serrano, lime juice, salt and 1 cup water in a blender and blend until smooth; adjust the seasoning if needed.
- For the tacos: Preheat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Dredge the fish in the batter and carefully drop it into the fryer oil. (Depending on the size of the pot, do not drop too much fish at once; it may cause the oil to drop in temperature, or even worse, overflow; be very careful when working with hot oil.) Remove the fish when golden brown and crispy with a slotted spoon to a cooling rack.
- In a pan or comal, place the tortillas to heat up. Garnish with a bed of cabbage on the tortilla, then drizzle the avocado salsa on the cabbage. Place your beautiful crispy fish on the taco and drizzle the togarashi mayo on top; garnish with cilantro and lime.
Cook’s Note
To make the best and juiciest fish tacos, head to your local fish market and request clean and pin-bones-removed rock cod. Portion them to the size of your liking.
