Sergio's 106 Seafood Underground

Americas - USA West Los Angeles

Great shots you guys!!! So sad to had to wave and run. Especially missing a chance to chat with the cool kids at the end of the table…

But we had a fabulous time and even in all the years of going to Sergio’s restaurants, we had never tried the Camarones de Mojo de Ajo. It’s a common dish in Yucatan, and so I felt like I probably had enough good ones in my life to skip it here. BUT MAN. Sergios was as delicious, but also different. Unlike some of the other preps, the shrimp are fried (So extra delicious shrimp heads!) and the sauce is wonderfully garlicky, citrusy with a kick. It had be my favorite of the night even though I LOVE those Camarones Culichis.

So glad so many enjoyed this place, it truly is special and just one of those… only in L.A. experiences, especially for the value! Hope to do this again. Maybe at a BBQ place?

So sad I missed out. Is that @moonboy403 tamaki gold California Koshihikari at 1:0.92 rice to water?

It was actually a @PorkyBelly rice special…I think the crew polished off most (if not all the rice).

It was a great way to enjoy all the sauces from Sergio’s kitchen.

Thank you @PorkyBelly for such a great treat!

@PorkyBelly 1:0.92 “White Rice” or “Sushi” mode on the Z?

sushi mode with a 30 minute presoak

I’ve been doing 1:1 with a ~1 hour presoak on sushi mode. I’ll try the adjustment.

I tend to increase the water proportion slightly depending on the age of the rice. If I find Tamaki (or any premium rice) on sale it generally means last year’s crop so it’s lost a bit of moisture.

n.b. all ratios by weight not volume
