Preparation

Sea urchin mousse

Heat the fish stock and add the cleaned sea urchin.

Stir well until the sea urchin is fully dissolved, then season to taste with salt.

Add the pre-soaked gelatin, strain through a fine sieve, and let cool until slightly thickened.

Whip the cream until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency, then fold it into the sea urchin stock.

Portion the mixture into sakura moulds and use a skewer to poke small holes around the edges to help release the mousse. 

Refrigerate, then freeze until firm and easy to unmould.

Spray the frozen mousse with orange velvet spray and store in the freezer until ready to use.

Mango-kimchi sorbet

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, then freeze in Pacojet cups.

Churn into sorbet à la minute using the Pacojet.

Kimchi tuile

Mix all ingredients together and blend smooth.

Lightly spray the moulds with baking spray, then press the mixture into the moulds.

Bake at 160⁰C in the oven.

Keep in a well-sealed tin with silica beads.

Sakura foam

Soak the salted sakura flowers in warm water for a few minutes.

Heat the fish stock and add the soaked flowers.

Stir in the Culinaire Original and reduce slightly.

Blend with a hand-held blender to create a light, frothy foam.

Marinated tremella

Soak the tremella in warm water and rinse well for 10 minutes.

Vacuum-marinate the tremella together with the kimchi liquid and the mango puree.

Leave to marinate in the fridge for a day.

Assembly

Arrange the frozen mousse on the plates and leave to defrost for 5 minutes.

Finishing touch

Finish with the kimchi liquid.

Place a quenelle of the sorbet next to the mousse and finish with the sea urchin gonads, tuile biscuit, and dried sakura leaves. 

Finally, spoon the sakura foam next to it.
