Based on a recipe that he learned in his mother's kitchen, Ming's 3-2-1 Saute Sauce, a combination of soy, rice vinegar and aromatics, perfectly balances sweet and savory to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. Ming's first dish, Mom's 3-2-1 Shrimp, is a mixture of shrimp, tomatoes and edamame over a bed of jasmine rice. Ming heads over to the Legal Seafoods processing plant on Boston's waterfront to get a lesson on the best way to select shrimp. Back in the studio, Ming whips up a Seared Monkfish with Sweet Onions and Peppers. Proving the versatility of this master ingredient, Ming makes a batch of Crispy Chicken Livers and Scallions tossed chicken- wing style with the 3-2-1 sauce. Then, Ming visits uber-chef Emeril Lagasse in the Food Network's test kitchen to see how the sauce can be used to create Saut?ed Shrimp and Udon Noodles. Back in his own kitchen, Ming determines which wines best match the flavor of the sauce.
