FISH WRAPPED IN RICE PAPER

Steps:

• Sauce: In a mini-processor, process the ginger, chipotle, garlic and soy sauce into a paste. In a nonreactive saucepan, boil the orange and carrot juices over high heat until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch and simmer until thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the ginger paste and keep warm. Fish & Spinach: Cut the fish into 4 equal pieces. Remove any bones. Season the fish lightly with salt, brush the top with 1 teaspoon of the ginger paste and top with the cilantro. Set aside in the refrigerator. Brush the rice paper wrappers on both sides with the egg white; let stand until pliable, about 2 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In batches, toss the spinach in a large hot skillet until barely wilted, transferring each batch to a colander. Let drain (or lightly spin in a salad spinner). Coarsely chop the spinach and add salt to taste. Sweat the garlic in a small amount of water in a saucepan. When cooked, add the spinach, tossing to distribute the garlic. Add water if necessary to keep the spinach moist. Cover and keep warm. Set the fish, ginger paste down, on the rice wrappers and fold the sides like an envelope to enclose the fish. Coat a smooth-bottomed nonstick oven proof skillet with nonstick spray and heat. Add the fish packets, seam sides down, and cook over moderate heat until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Spray the packets, turn and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the packets again seam side down and bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is firm when pressed. Presentation: Pour orange sauce on 4 plates. Arrange a bed of spinach on one side of the plate, and top with a fish packet. Spoon the rice on the other side, being careful not to cover all the sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

PAPER-WRAPPED FISH

Steps:

• Prepare all ingredients for assembly, starting with ginger. Put julienned ginger in a bowl with rice wine. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cut 6-inch squares of parchment (12). Divide fish slices equally among the squares, slightly towards a lower quadrant of the parchment square. Divide scallion strips evenly, lay on top of fish. Remove ginger from rice wine, divide and place on top of fish. Add sauce ingredients to rice wine, stir. Drizzle sauce over fish, taking care not to over-sauce. Place two cilantro leaves on top of each square. To close squares, fold near corner (the one closest to the fish) to cover fish, but not completely to the opposite corner. Now fold over the two side corners. The packet should look like an opened envelope. Take the top corner, fold down. There should be a flap that extends over the package. Tuck this flap into the fold made by the three other corners. You should have an enclosed rectangular package. Repeat for all twelve packages. Place in an ovenproof rectangular pyrex pan or on a cookie sheet. Put in heated oven and bake for about 5 minutes. Let guests unwrap the packages.
