WORTH THE TRIP

FLOUNDER CARPACCIO

After a visit to Italy, chef Koji Terano knew he wanted to do something with fragrant black truffles. He combined soft-flavored, white soy sauce with lightly favored grapeseed oil and added shavings of the expensive fungus. For his flounder carpaccio ($10.75), the sauce is spooned over paper-thin slices of the lean fish. For a touch of crispness, he tops the dish with a smidgen of fried carrots and greens.
