Episode notes
Fish Sauce Experimentation Journey
- Samin experimented heavily with fish sauce, starting with a bad overnight marinade that tasted like liver and then iterating to a Mexican-coke, lemongrass, and kaffir-lime-marinated roast chicken over rice.
- She finished with a fish-sauce dressing and herb salad with crunchy peanuts, celebrating the learning journey of failing and refining.
Specify Salt Type In Recipes
- Use a consistent salt type when following recipes because kosher salts differ widely in salinity and flake shape.
- Prefer fine sea salt in recipes if you need a universal substitute to avoid accidental over-salting from different kosher brands.
Choose Salt By Function
- Avoid iodized table salt for cooking because iodine adds a metallic note; choose non-iodized fine sea or kosher salt instead.
- Reserve specialty salts like fleur de sel for finishing where their mineral crunch and flavor matter most.
