Bringing together culinary inspiration from the flavors and techniques found throughout Asia, chef Tim Raue serves cuisine with his own unique Asian flair at his 2 Michelin starred Restaurant Tim Raue, based in Berlin. Here, we have one of his true signature dishes, Wasabi Langoustine – a blend of Chinese techniques and Japanese ingredients, topped with a Thai-style vinaigrette. Sound delicious? Read on to discover his recipe.
First, a quote from the chef:
“I had wasabi prawns for the first time more than 13 years ago, when they were served in Singapore’s Jade restaurant at the Fullerton Hotel. The dish was amazing – crispy hot wok fried prawns with creamy & rich wasabi sauce, a blend between Chinese cooking techniques and Japanese products. Based on that dish, I invented my version – substituted the prawn with a more juicy and sweet langoustine, enhanced the crunchiness with crispy green rice flakes topped on the wasabi sauce, and below a spicy yet ultra fresh Thai-style vinaigrette. The dish is more complex than the original version, and it’s a true signature dish of mine.”
