Curry Tea Rub

Overview

Ming Tsai kicks off the second season of SIMPLY MING with a once-in-a-lifetime culinary expedition to South Africa with lifestyle guru Colin Cowie. First, Ming is in the studio to create his Curry Tea Rub — an exotic mix of fruity blackberry-tea and curry powder that will add the taste of India to everyday cooking. Just rub it on and cook — what could be simpler? Ming demonstrates this easy technique by preparing Curry Tea-Rubbed Butterfish with Dried Mango Couscous. Then, Ming and Colin are off to South Africa to explore the famous spice markets of Durban and discover how 11 ingredients come together to create a wonderful house curry. This edible masterpiece is immediately put to work with the help of local chef Rachel Buchner who prepares BBQ Curry Tea-Rubbed Ostrich with Grilled Sweet Potatoes and Fruit Salsa. Back in the studio, Colin whips up the mouthwatering dish of Spiced Cod with Tomato Sauce.
