🧡 Golden Orb of the Sea 🧡
A golden sphere of crunchy perfection gives way to a savory filling and a jammy egg yolk center, all resting on a cool bed of radish and adorned with glistening jewels of the sea.
Ingredients:
For the Orb:
1 soft-boiled egg, peeled 🥚
1/2 cup ground chicken or scallop mousse
1 cup panko breadcrumbs 🍞
Oil for frying
For the Base & Garnish:
4 thin slices of daikon radish or kohlrabi
2 tablespoons salmon roe (ikura)
A few edible flowers (like pansies or violas) 🌸
A few sprigs of microgreens
1 tablespoon citrus vinaigrette
Preparation:
1️⃣ Form the Orb: Carefully mold the ground chicken or scallop mousse evenly around the peeled soft-boiled egg, creating a perfect sphere.
2️⃣ Bread and Fry: Roll the sphere in panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to ensure it's fully coated. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the orb for 4-5 minutes, turning gently, until it's deep golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
3️⃣ Create the Base: In the bottom of a wide, shallow bowl, arrange the thin slices of daikon radish in a slightly overlapping circle.
4️⃣ Assemble: Carefully place the warm, crispy orb in the center of the radish slices. Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the base.
5️⃣ Garnish Beautifully: Top the golden orb with a generous spoonful of salmon roe. Delicately place the edible flowers and microgreens around the orb for a stunning, garden-like presentation.
