💚RICE + GRAINS + PULSES, LESSON 6: CHOUX FARCI 💚💯😋 I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a choux farci before so I wasn’t quite sure what flavours to aim for. Altho I have eaten a Chinese stuffed cabbage dish before which I never really enjoyed coz it doesn’t seem very exciting. I watched a few French videos on YouTube to see how others make it as well to try and understand this dish better :) Interesting to see how the anime world mentions Choux Farci a lot. I used red cabbage . But because the red cabbage is very tough even after blanching for one minute, I had to boil it again for the second time so that I could fold it into place. For the Farci, I used: Shiitake Garlic cloves White wine Merlot Dried sage Mix of red rice & brown rice as my barley didn’t arrive 1Tbs White truffle oil Truffle salt Black pepper Almond meal (I was so tempted to put in some curry powder, but had to resist coz this is NOT an Asian dish, hahahaha) FOR THE VEGETABLE DEMI GLAZE I adapted to use what I had with me including: Cauliflower Carrots Red Beet Shiitake Garlic Tomato Water Kombu dried thyme 1 Bay leaf Mint FOR THE FINISHING DEMI, since I didn’t have xantham gum with me, I blended up the veggies from the stock to make it into a thick sauce. And then I added some leftover avocado mousse to make it creamy. Canned truffles are USD30 per tiny can here in Malaysia 🇲🇾, so I took a small piece of shiitake from the infused tamari and minced that instead to make it look like truffle peelings. After all, the shiitake had soaked up a lot of the tamari and had loads of flavour. I can totally see this can be made raw vegan with a few switchups and fermenting the cabbage leaves so it’s nice and soft. Fascinating 😃😃😃 Thank you @foodfutureinstitute team for an eye-opening lesson! Wanted to all take this opportunity to say hello to my fellow coursemates 👋👋👋: @iwenliu @nataliaagomezf @vanidoria . . . #chouxfarci #rcyffi #ffi #veganchoxfarci #foodfutureinstitute #cabbage #stuffedcabbage #redcabbage #veganfood (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAKbighCSk/?igshid=19kobz81fa1ar
