Korean Fried Chicken with Aceto Balsamico di Modena and sesame PREPARATION
• 2 cups of rice flour • 2 cups of simple club soda • Pepper and salt for the batter and the chicken • • • • • • • • • • • •
seasoning Chicken wings Shallot Olive oil Sesame seeds oil Ginger 2 cups of gochujang A quarter cup of soy sauce A quarter cup of Worcestershire sauce A quarter cup of mirin Maple syrup Aceto Balsamico di Modena White and black sesame seeds
First create the batter. Mix up together 2 cups of rice flour with 2 cups of simple club soda. The result should be a wet batter not a thick one. Season it with a little bit of pepper and salt and the batter is done! This watery batter will give the chicken the perfect crispiness. Then season the chicken with salt and pepper and mix the chicken around. Season the rice flour (same one used for the batter) with salt and pepper and drench the chicken all around. Dump the chicken in the batter and make sure the batter covers every part of the chicken. Finally comes the cooking of the chicken: after dipping it into the batter it needs a double frying. 5 minutes at 300° and another 5 minutes at 375°. In the meantime, create the sauce for the chicken. The sauce is made of 2 cups of gochujang, a quarter cup of soy sauce, a quarter cup of Worcestershire sauce, a quarter cup of mirin, add a little sweetness with maple syrup, then add Aceto Balsamico di Modena, shallot, olive oil, sesame seeds oil, ginger. Once the sauce is done and the chicken has been cooked the chicken needs to be brushed with the sauce, not tossed in it. Top everything off with chives or scallion, white and black sesame seeds and a drizzle of Aceto Balsamico di Modena. You can enjoy this dish by sharing it at the table with a glass of wine or beer.

Risotteria Melotti Risotto with pumpkin, ricotta cheese and Aceto Balsamico di Modena, and a taste of Aceto Balsamico di Modena with their home-made rice focaccia
\ INGREDIENTS
• • • • • • • • •
400 g Vialone Nano Melotti Rice 0.8 liters vegetable broth 120 g ricotta cheese 1 pumpkin 2 shallots 1 sprig of rosemary Aceto Balsamico di Modena Salt, pepper, Extravirgin olive oil to taste 50 g Parmigiano Reggiano for baskets
PREPARATION
Basket
To make a cheese basket you need a burner, Grana Padano, a pristine non-stick frying pan about 9 inches/22 centimeters in diameter, a pair of Teflon tongs that won't scratch the frying pan, and a cup or bowl to lay the cheese over. Heat the pan over a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. You want it to be hot but not searing. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pan. By the time you have finished sprinkling the cheese it will have begun to melt, especially around the edges. Wait a few seconds until the cheese in the middle of the pan will begin to tan , then tip the skillet so the cheese flows out, it will come as a sheet, and drape it, browned side up, over a bowl or cup. Risotto
In a pan, fry the shallot with a drizzle of Extra virgin olive oil, add the cleaned and diced pumpkin, the sprig of rosemary and let it brown for a few minutes, season with salt and pepper and leave to cook, adding a few ladles of broth during cooking. In a saucepan, boil the broth, add the rice, mix, cover and leave to simmer. When cooked, add pumpkin, half of Ricotta cheese and mix. Stuff the Parmigiano Reggiano basket with Risotto with the remaining ricotta cheese on top and garnish with a drizzle of Aceto Balsamico di Modena. Enjoy your meal! By Chef Mauricio Molina
