TAMARIND MAHI MAHI WITH HERB SALAD AND PURPLE JASMINE RICE

This dish might be Thai or it might simply look vaguely Thai. A Thai impostor. A mock Thai. The mahi mahi was marinated in a mix of tamarind paste, black soy sauce and Vietnamese caramel sauce, then cooked in grapeseed oil. The salad is a mix of Thai basil, coriander, mint and Asian micro herbs, fresh eschallots, ground roasted rice and fried eschallots, with a dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, crispy prawn chilli paste and sugar. Purple jasmine rice is interesting. In its uncooked state there are grains of various colours - white, mottled and purple. The whites outnumber the other colours, and yet when cooked, they purple guys have coloured the rest of the grains.
