INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

This dish is like a hug in a bowl – a refreshing and vibrant mix of flavors that will take your taste buds on a little adventure. Perfect for when you’re craving something light yet satisfying, this bowl is loaded with fresh veggies like juicy mango, crisp red cabbage, and tender edamame, all sitting on a bed of fluffy rice. And the kicker? A drizzle of spicy mayo sauce that ties everything together with just the right amount of heat.

How to serve
To serve, grab a big, beautiful bowl and start with a generous layer of rice. Arrange the colorful veggies on top – think creamy avocado, bright mango, and that gorgeous purple cabbage. Lay your protein of choice (like tender salmon) over the top, and then drizzle on the spicy mayo sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a little wakame salad for that extra touch. Serve it chilled and watch your guests (or yourself) light up with every bite!

How to store
Got leftovers? Store each component separately in airtight containers to keep everything fresh. The rice and veggies will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Just keep the sauce in a small jar and give it a good shake before using it again. It’s best not to store thawed raw salmon. If you can’t finish it, cook it and enjoy it the next day or later the same day.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 tbsp edamame
  • 1 tbsp avocado
  • a quarter of a lime
  • 1/4 mini cucumber
  • 2 tbsp wakame salad
  • 80 grams farmed salmon, sushi-grade, frozen and then thawed
  • 2 tbsp red cabbage
  • 1 radish
  • 1/4 mango

  • 80 grams sushi rice or long grain white rice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp white sugar

SPICY MAYO SAUCE

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (I used the one with coconut flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp ginger, grated

  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/8 tsp sesame oil
  • pinch of white pepper

TOPPINGS

Instructions

  1. For the spicy mayo sauce, peel the ginger and garlic, and grate them into a bowl. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and mix everything together until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Wash the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in a rice cooker or small pot. Keep it warm. Place the edamame in a small bowl, cover with hot water, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Drain the water afterward.
  3. Wash and dry the cucumber, then slice it thinly. Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, cut it into quarters, and finely grate it. Wash the radishes and slice them thinly or use a mandoline. Peel the mango and cut it into pieces. Scoop the avocado out of its skin, drizzle it with lime juice, and cut it into cubes. Arrange the sliced fruits and veggies on a plate for later.
  4. Once the rice is done, mix in rice vinegar, salt, and sugar. Keep the rice warm.
  5. Rinse and pat dry the salmon, then cut it into cubes with a sharp knife. Set the wakame salad aside.
  6. In a deep bowl, start by layering the rice. Place the wakame salad in the center, then arrange the other components around it in a circle on top of the rice. Sprinkle the salmon with black and white sesame seeds and add a bit of cress. Place nori sheets on the side.
  7. Serve the sauce in a small bowl on the side, or drizzle it directly over the bowl.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

When you’re craving a taste of the tropics but want something subtle and sophisticated, this mango-infused oil is the perfect addition to your kitchen. It’s like capturing the essence of a sunny day in a bottle – bright, fresh, and slightly sweet. Whether you’re drizzling it over a salad or adding a dash to grilled veggies, this oil brings a gentle mango touch that’s not overpowering but oh-so-delightful.

How to serve
This mango oil is your go-to for adding a hint of summer to just about anything. Try drizzling it over a fresh spinach or arugula salad for a light, fruity kick. It’s also fantastic as a finishing touch on grilled seafood, where its subtle sweetness complements the smoky flavors. Or, for a quick and easy twist, toss it with pasta or use it as a dip for crusty bread—simple yet satisfying. I like to incorporate some of the oil into my Cajun Shrimp with Honey Glaze & Cheesy Polenta.

How to store
To keep the vibrant flavor of your mango oil fresh, store it in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and it’ll stay good for 1-2 weeks.

Mango Oil


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 60 min
  • Yield: 1 cup / 250 ml 1x

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • blender
  • medium-sized saucepan
  • whisk
  • a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
  • 2 medium-sized bowls
  • 2 fine sieves
  • oil bottle
  • ice cubes
  • coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150 grams fresh mango
  • 250 milliliters cold-pressed rapeseed oil

Instructions

 

  1. Peel the mango and cut the flesh into large chunks. Put them into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until it becomes a thick consistency and no pieces of mango are longer visible.
  2. Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat, constantly stirring, to a temperature of about 102°-103°C (215°-217°F). Then, let the oil simmer with the lid partially on for the next 20 minutes. Stir only occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned. The cooking time is essential for all the water to evaporate. You’ll know all the water has evaporated when the oil in the pot barely bubbles anymore – so if it’s still bubbling vigorously, keep it simmering.
  3. At the end of the cooking process, prepare a bowl large enough to fit the medium-sized pot, filled with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine mesh sieve strainer over a medium-sized bowl.
  4. Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to stop the cooking process. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the first fine mesh sieve to catch the coarse particle.
  5. Then, pour the oil into the second fine mesh sieve, which you before equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
  6. Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe more depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.

Instructions

PREPARATIONS
This dish is made with my Jalapeño Oil. If you want to replace it, you can use olive oil instead and for the pulp in the cilantro-yogurt sauce, use 1-2 fresh jalapeños + 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a small bowl, add cumin, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cayenne, and Cajun seasoning. Finely chop half of a fresh chili and add it to the spices. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil and the juice of half a lime, and mix everything into a creamy paste. Wash the shrimp, pat dry, and place in a bowl. Add the creamy marinade and mix well to evenly coat all the shrimp. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. Wash and let your rice cook according to the package instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, in a tall container, blend yogurt, the pulp from making the Jalapeño Oil, 1-2 peeled garlic cloves, cilantro, parsley, salt, and pepper with an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Next, peel the mango, avocado, and red onion. Chop everything into small pieces and put in a medium bowl. Mix with the juice of half a lime and a little salt, and set aside.
  5. Wash and pat dry the mung bean sprouts and set aside.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil in a frying pan and add the shrimp along with the remaining marinade. Briefly fry the shrimp on both sides and let the sauce reduce at the same time.
  7. In a deep bowl, distribute the rice, place mung bean sprouts on one side and the mango-avocado salad on the other. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the green cilantro-yogurt sauce to the sprouts, then lay the shrimp on top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. You can also top it off with fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, and fresh chili.
