You can’t beat today’s SIMPLY MING intersection of East and West —Tamari and Chipotle Chiles.  With its big dose of umami, that elusive flavor, Ming works wonders from both sides of the globe with his Broiled Chipotle-Tamari Chicken Wings with Zucchini Sticks, Tamari Slow Braised Chipotle Pork Stew, and his Seared Scallops with Chipotle-Soy Syrup and Sweet Potato-Onion Homefries.  Finally, from deep in the heart of New Orleans, Chef John Besh takes Ming’s master pair down south to make Tamari-Chipotle Glazed Alaskan Kin Salmon with a Chipotle Vinaigrette Salad.

Tamari & Chipotle Chiles

Drying foods to keep them preserved is a technique that dates back hundreds of years. On this episode of Simply Ming, host Ming Tsai and special guest, Gordon Hamersley, show how the technique of reconstituting - bringing a dried ingredient back to life by simply adding liquid – can be used to cook up two unique dishes: Poached Salt Cod with Porcini Broth, Pancetta & English Peas and Bird's Nest Black Bean Chicken and Wasabi Cream.
