There are many dishes suitable for presentation on a hot sizzle plate. Some
There are advantages to serving food on these. The food generally has that "just
cooked" aspect, something that usually dies after a few minutes on a cold plate,
and certainly something that is valued with many Asian dishes.
Fried noodle dishes are a surprising possibility with this style of serving. Fried
noodle dishes generally have the best flavour served straight from the wok to
your plate. Slower eaters and large serves do change in flavour as the time
passes but served on a sizzle plate, the flavour keeps that fresh nuance. I've
mentioned that drying may be an issue with such dishes and the preventative
trick is to make the sauce just a little wetter and serve the dish just before you
normally would. This allows for a little drying on the hot server and also should
prevent over-cooking of the dish.
The plate can be heated in an oven at 200
oC to
260
oC (400F to 500F) for say 20
minutes prior to serving or more easily and generally greater energy saving on
a heat source, gas ring or hot plate until it just begins to smoke (from the thin
oil layer on the plate).
