Siesta Co.’s Tuna Belly with Yuzu Kosho and Green Pepper in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Siesta’s offerings don’t appear regularly on shelves in my corner of Virginia. I grabbed several that did pop up recently, and this yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) belly is the first I’ve cracked open. I was drawn mostly by the inclusion of yuzu kosho, which is a fermented paste of citrus peel and hot peppers. It often delivers a solid, stinging punch of heat and a strong citrus aroma in Japanese cooking. Plus, tuna belly is the best of the tuna, right? Right?? I might be having second thoughts on the belly front. It’s certainly among the priciest bits of the tuna. I think this can was $12.00. But I’m not convinced any longer that the fatty cut is, in the case of yellowfin, at least, super delicious. This can, in fact, was not delicious. The aroma was fishy. Not bad fishy, just strong fishy. The yuzu kosho did not contribute any tangy sharpness; I got no citrus aroma wafting from the can. No peppery heat neither. Just tuna. (Oh, the olive oil, I ought to say, is quite good. Find a use for it—brighten it up with lemon, lime, or both, and go to town.) In the end I stacked these belly bits onto a sammy with very lime-forward guacamole and very serrano-forward pickled red peppers. Even then, I squeezed half a lemon on the tuna. All that just about wrestled the tuna’s taste into some semblance of being reasonable. It was a good lunch, but it wasn’t a $12 sandwich for lunch I’d make often. submitted by /u/DreweyD to r/CannedSardines [link] [comments]

My first time making ramen properly - Yuzu kosho tamari broth
Made a spicy yuzu kosho tamari broth chicken broth after boiling some chicken thigh bones for hours. Used tamari as I have a wheat allergy. Was pretty tasty, and the noodles are in there somewhere. I just did a smaller portion of noddles cause I wouldn't be able to finish it otherwise. Made a dashi and soy sauce tare, and green onion and sesame aroma oil. submitted by /u/k3anuw3aves to r/ramen [link] [comments]

Siesta Co. Small Sardines in Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Yuzu Kosho
This is the third of three Yuzu Kosho cans I tried from Siesta Co. Like the mackerel and tuna belly before them, these small, tender sardines are in excellent EVOO. The "hint of Yuzu Kosho" is the real star for me -- subtle but more distinctive than a typical "lemon" flavoring, the light citrus gives the sardines a nice sparkle. This one seemed to have slightly less green pepper than the mackerel. I had these with my green salad dressed with the can's EVOO and a drizzle of Carandini orange balsamic glaze. (I put only 4 in the salad; can contained 7 fish.) All three Siesta Yuzu Kosho varieties are winners!

Siesta Co.Tuna Belly in EVOO with Yuzu Kosho 😋
This tin moves right up near the top of my all-time favorite tuna bellies! The meat is very tender, rich and easily flaked, which makes it ideal for adding to salads. The "hint of yuzu kosho" is truly delicious! I've had stronger yuzu kosho in small dabs on sushi, but this was a milder, citrusy flavor that didn't overpower the tuna. I dressed my salad with the excellent organic EVOO from the can and a drizzle of (unfortunately bottled) lime juice. Best salad I've had in a long time (and I eat salad almost daily)! I can't remember who I learned about this tin from (maybe u/DreweyD or u/Tinned_Fish_Tyler ?), but whoever it was had referred to Bernal Cutlery as a source, where I paid $17. Even as I ate it 😅, I was already searching Siesta's website to see what else they made. I discovered they also have small sardines and mackerel, both with yuzu kosho! I immediately ordered a Yuzu Kosho Trio Pack, plus a 3-pack of the tuna belly. Direct from the shop, the tuna belly is less than $14/can. submitted by /u/Grouchy-Cat1584 to r/CannedSardines [link] [comments]

Ideas for Yuzu Kosho
I just found out about yuzu kosho a month ago. If your not familiar it’s fermented ground yuzu and chili peppers with salt. It’s great in an aioli for burgers, sandwiches, or just as a dipping sauce. I’ve tried cooking with it in a curry and the flavors kind of were hidden in the mix. How else are you using yuzu kosho? Any recipes I should try submitted by /u/GooseRage to r/Chefit [link] [comments]

Miyagi oysters with persimmon vinegar and yuzu kosho mignonette
Last year we were gifted about 20-30 hachiya persimmons so we fermented them into vinegar and just recently finished the batch as a base for a mignonette, along with a yuzu kosho made from yuzu and jalapeño from the farmers market. Made for a nice fall/winter twist on mignonette! Highly recommend The process we followed for the persimmon vinegar was basically to wait until they were super ripe, then took the mush and put it in a glass jar with air lock, stirring once a day until the fermentation took over. After the primary fermentation was done I strained out the solids, then let the fermented juice sit in a jar covered with cheese cloth for a couple months. submitted by /u/smellgibson to r/fermentation [link] [comments]
