List of Ingredients




Ahi Katsu
1/2 lb fresh ahi fillet, 8-inch in length
1 bunch spinach
4 sheets sushi nori
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup flour, plus extra flour for dredging
2 eggs
1 cup water
2 cups panko
Salad oil for deep frying

Wasabi-Ginger Butter Sauce
1 shallot, chopped
1-inch ginger root, chopped
1 tablespoon wasabi
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed

Recipe



Ahi Katsu:
Cut ahi into four 8 x 1 x 1-inch strips. Discard spinach stems; wash and dry leaves. Line nori sheets with half of the spinach. Place a strip of ahi crosswise on leaves, top with remaining spinach. Roll and seal with water. Combine the 1 cup flour, eggs, and water to make a batter. Dredge rolls in flour, batter, and then in panko. Heat oil to 375 degree F; fry rolls until evenly browned. Slice each roll into 6 pieces. Place 2 tablespoons Wasabi-Ginger Butter Sauce on 6 individual plates; arrange 4 pieces ahi on each. Makes 6 servings.

Wasabi-Ginger Butter Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine shallot, ginger, wasabi, vinegar, and wine. Cook on medium heat until liquids reduces to 1 tablespoon. Add cream and soy sauce, continue to cook until cream mixture reduces to 1-1/2 tablespoons. Lower heat; whisk in butter cubes one at a time. Remove from heat and strain. Makes about 1 cup.
