size:40% 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame oil. 20:00.600 --> 20:06.733 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% 1 cup of white wine vinegar, and you see how 20:06.800 --> 20:10.333 align:start

1 cup of chicken broth. 20:27.466 --> 20:31.300 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% Then that's it, the sauce will cook over low heat for about 20:31.366 --> 20:35.166 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% 3 minutes, and now I'll get my 5 peppers 20:35.233 --> 20:36.900 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% to be dressed with that sauce, 20:36.966 --> 20:40.433 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% and I already have 1 yellow bell pepper. 20:40.500 --> 20:43.300 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% I'm not a super fan of green bell pepper, 20:43.366 --> 20:45.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% but when I'm using both red and yellow, 20:45.866 --> 20:48.233 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% I bring in the green for a pop of color, 20:48.300 --> 20:51.100 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% and I think the sweetness of the red and yellow 20:51.166 --> 20:55.900 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% balances the bitter aftertaste of the green bell pepper. 20:55.966 --> 20:59.533 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% And we'll add more peppers you guys! 20:59.600 --> 21:04.333 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% 'Cause this has no heat, we'll add a jalapeño. 21:04.400 --> 21:07.500 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% You love the jalapeño just like I do. 21:07.566 --> 21:09.800 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:22.5% We'll use a whole jalapeño. 21:12.133 --> 21:13.666 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:20% And then a manzano chile 21:13.733 --> 21:16.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% which you have to get to know. 21:17.000 --> 21:19.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% It is absolutely stunning, it is fiesty, 21:19.866 --> 21:23.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% it is spicy, it is a lot spicier than the jalapeño. 21:23.533 --> 21:26.466 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% This makes me so happy, because when I moved to the U.S. 21:26.533 --> 21:29.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% 20 years ago and I moved to Texas, 21:29.766 --> 21:34.233 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:35% you could find jalapeños and serranos, 21:34.300 --> 21:37.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:55% and if you were lucky, poblanos and that was it, 21:37.300 --> 21:42.566 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% and today you can find most of the chiles you find in Mexico. 21:42.633 --> 21:45.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% That makes me happy because you guys are getting 21:45.833 --> 21:49.800 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% to have a lot more tools in your kitchen. 21:49.866 --> 21:53.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% Then we'll add more color and flavor. 21:53.666 --> 21:58.600 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% We'll sliver a red onion into what we call "plumita" 21:58.666 --> 22:01.300 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:47.5% or little feathers. 22:01.366 --> 22:05.066 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% So I know the manzano sounds intimidating, 22:05.133 --> 22:11.500 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% but this sauce is going to tame the heat in here. 22:11.566 --> 22:14.866 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% 2 tablespoons of freshly-squeezed lime juice. 22:14.933 --> 22:17.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% Just a little bit more salt, 22:17.166 --> 22:21.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% and it'll keep getting better as I cook the fish. 22:26.000 --> 22:29.866 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% I have my super fresh halibut 22:29.933 --> 22:33.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% because I'm friends with my fish monger. 22:33.200 --> 22:38.233 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% All I'll do is add some salt and pepper, 22:38.300 --> 22:41.866 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% then continue with the peanut oil, 22:41.933 --> 22:45.000 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% I'm adding about 1 - 2 tablespoons. 22:45.066 --> 22:48.766 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% I'll cook my fish skin side down first so the skin 22:48.833 --> 22:52.066 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% has the opportunity to crisp really nicely, 22:52.133 --> 22:55.933 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% and also I'll be able to see as it cooks from the bottom up 22:56.000 --> 22:57.900 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% so I'll know when to flip it. 22:57.966 --> 23:01.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% This is a really nice sight because you can see 23:01.533 --> 23:05.500 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% how the color of the fish starts transforming from 23:05.566 --> 23:09.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% raw and more pinkish to a white cooked color. 23:09.933 --> 23:12.166 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% It's really good to read the signs. 23:12.233 --> 23:14.466 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% The fish is telling you when it's cooking and 23:14.533 --> 23:19.600 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% up to where it's cooking, so when it gets to halfway, 23:19.666 --> 23:22.533 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% I'll flip it and then I know 23:22.600 --> 23:25.766 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% I'll cook it for 1 - 2 more minutes. 23:28.300 --> 23:31.133 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% What we do in Mexico with the crispy skin that's 23:31.200 --> 23:34.566 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% already flavored is we take off the skin, 23:34.633 --> 23:37.900 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% grab a corn tortilla, and turn it into a taco, 23:37.966 --> 23:40.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and in fact that's what I'm gonna do. 23:41.000 --> 23:44.533 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:37.5% Just watch this come together, okay? 23:44.600 --> 23:47.066 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% I'm gonna garnish my coconut rice with some 23:47.133 --> 23:50.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% sweetened coconut flakes that I seasoned with 23:50.333 --> 23:51.866 align:start position:22.5% line:84.67% size:55% some cinnamon and salt 23:51.933 --> 23:54.500 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% and baked in the oven a few minutes. 23:54.566 --> 23:57.833 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% Grab my fish, mmm. 23:57.900 --> 24:00.866 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:35% So you can see it's very pretty, 24:00.933 --> 24:05.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% and I'll add my 5-pepper salsa. 24:05.533 --> 24:09.233 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:30% Garnish with a little basil. 24:13.333 --> 24:19.566 align:start
