Brock’s Shrimp Soup/ by Eric Tanaka, Executive Chef
South Seattle Community College has an annual fundraiser which we always try to be involved in. This year Brock, Chef of the Dahlia, cooked a Balinese styled dinner for 20 lucky guests. The hit of the night for both our guests and our culinary interns was the Nasi Campur, which as a literal translation is mixed rice. The rice itself isn’t the star, but the accompaniments are. Our Nasi was saddled up next to a whole pig that Brock roasted at the event. The students were excited to see such an undertaking as most had never seen this done before.
My highlight, however, was Brock’s soup course. He made some spicy shrimp dumplings that were poached in a lemongrass and coconut water broth. each delicate flavor could be tasted with no one flavor dominating over another. My type of dish.
