A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
Wafu Butter Basting
Emulsifying cold butter into savory Japanese broth to coat seafood and vegetables in a light, silky glaze.
Notes from the kitchen
- Tearing wild mushrooms by hand instead of slicing absorbs broth much better.
- Swirl the butter in right at the end to create a silky emulsion with the umami dashi broth.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Japanese; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
