SPICY CHILI AIOLI



Spicy Chili Aioli image

Originally inspired by a local sushi restaurant, I went through a number of different aioli recipes until I finally found a basic combination of ingredients, all of which have become the foundation for this and a couple of other recipes. We enjoy this on just about everything - crab cakes, fish tacos, sushi, vegetables, you name it... If you enjoy this, please also try my curry and saffron aioli recipes for a different twist... A couple of notes with respect to ingredients. Avoid substitutions where possible - I tried a number of different recipes before I arrived at this one, and some of them weren't so pleasant... Please consider using Hellman's original mayonnaise when making this recipe - avoid using Kraft, Miracle Whip, and sweet mayonnaises at all costs. If you use a low fat mayo, I also recommend Hellman's. Chili garlic oil can be found at just about any asian grocery - the main ingredients are garlic, chili, and oil. It is very thick in appearance and looks like the result of dried chilies, garlic, and oil being pureed in the food processor. This isn't to be confused with Sriracha or chili sauce. While chili garlic oil is a great condiment, it tastes very different than chili paste. If you need a photo example of chili garlic oil to assist you in your shopping adventures, z-mail me.

Steps:

  • Rice Cake: Bring sugar and vinegar to a boil in a small pan. Remove and let cool. Wash rice in running water for 5 minutes. Transfer to a pot with 1 cup water, salt, and ginger. Bring rice to a boil then turn down to the lowest flame and cover. Cook rice until tender but a slight bite is left. Transfer rice to a wooden bowl and mix with sugar/vinegar mixture. Let cool slightly and press the rice into four small cakes either with a mold or by hand. Sauté rice cakes in 1 Tbs. peanut oil over high heat until crispy. Transfer cakes to 350-degree oven to heat through. Salad: Peel and blanch asparagus in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then quickly plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Quickly sauté mushrooms in hot pan with butter and set aside to cool. Trim asparagus to make all equal size and cut in half. Mix asparagus with shallots, chives, sliced green onions, and tomatoes. Season mixture with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Chili Aioli: Combine all ingredients in blender except oil. Blend until smooth and strain through chinois. Discard solids. Add back into blender and drizzle oil in slowly. Tuna: Cut seaweed paper to fit the exact size of tuna steak and wrap it around the fish. Tempura Batter: Whisk together flour, soda water, baking soda, sea salt, and sesame seeds. Heat oil in a small deep fryer to 350 degrees. Dip nori-wrapped tuna in soy sauce, then dredge in flour mixture. Fry for 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with fine salt. To Finish: Arrange salad on side of plate. Slice tuna thinly and place next to salad. Drizzle some of the chili sauce around and serve.
