CRISPY WHOLE THAI FRIED FISH WITH GINGER TAMARIND SAUCE AND COCONUT-CILANTRO RICE PILAF

Steps:

• Special equipment: A large Dutch oven or deep wok, deep-fry thermometer and two 12-inch bamboo skewers
• Prepare the ginger tamarind sauce: In large saute pan over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of the canola oil and allow to heat. Add the garlic, shallots and fresh ginger and saute until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar, tamarind paste, fish sauce, sambal and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and cook until the mixture is slightly reduced and has a maple syrup-like consistency, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Preheat 4 to 5 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven or deep wok. You need enough oil so the whole fish can be submerged.
• Prepare the fish: Make 3 diagonal slices into the flesh of one side of the snapper, cutting all the way to the bone and spacing the slices 2 inches apart. Repeat with the other side of the fish.
• Combine the cornstarch, rice flour, granulated garlic, ground ginger, salt and pepper in a large baking dish. Lightly dredge the fish all over with the seasoned flour, including inside the cuts. Shake off any excess flour, then form the fish into an "S" curve by threading two 12-inch bamboo skewers through the tail and body so it holds its wavy shape.
• Carefully place the fish into the hot oil so it is almost completely submerged. Fry the fish until deep golden and very crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. As it cooks, use a large metal spoon or ladle to carefully pour hot oil over any exposed part of the fish to ensure it cooks evenly. Carefully remove the fish from the oil and place on a wire rack to drain briefly. Season immediately with salt and lime juice. Carefully remove the skewers from the fish, and place it upright on a platter of Coconut-Cilantro Rice Pilaf. Pour the ginger tamarind sauce over the top. Garnish with the chilies and scallions.
• Rinse the rice by running it under cold water 2 or 3 times until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures the rice comes out light and fluffy.
• Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chili flakes and rice and stir well to coat the kernels evenly with oil. Add the coconut milk, salt, sugar and 1 cup water. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook until all the liquid has absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat, keep covered and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes to steam. Before serving, add the cilantro and fluff with a fork. Yield: 4 to 6 servings

• Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover again and keep warm until ready to serve. For drier rice, leave the lid off after fluffing. Sprinkle with the chopped cilantro before serving.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN WITH COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and marinade. Stir fry until the chicken is nicely browned, about 3 minutes.

• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and allow them to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and simmer hard, stirring often, until the mango breaks down and thickens to a jam.
• Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the mango jam and the sweet chili sauce, and bring to a hard simmer. Reduce the mixture by 1/2 the volume, stirring occasionally, as the sugars can settle and burn. Remove 1/2 of the marinade to a small bowl and set aside for service.
• Sweet Ginger Rice:
• Cook the rice according to package directions. Coat the inside of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

• (When the pork loins have been put on the grill) gently turn the set rice cake out onto a cutting board. Cut the cake corner to corner to make 4 triangles. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the 4 rice cakes. If a part of the cake breaks away, gently press it back into shape. Saute on the first side until the cakes have caramelized, about 15 minutes. Carefully turn the cakes over, add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Saute the second side until you can hear the caramelized cakes gently scratching the bottom when the pan is jiggled, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Grilled Pineapple:
• Cut the pineapple lengthwise into logs or wedges, then cut in half and put them into a large bowl. Combine the rum, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and pour it over the pineapple. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• When the tenderloins have been removed from the grill to rest, grill the pineapple on medium-high heat for a couple minutes per side turning and basting with the rum sauce to achieve caramelized grill marks.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill with 1 side medium-high heat and 1 side medium-low heat. Sear the loins on all 4 sides on medium-high for 3 minutes per side. Move the loins to the medium-low heat side. Baste with the marinade, close grill and cook, basting every 5 minutes, until the loins reach medium-rare or to desired doneness.
• Remove the loins to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving on the diagonal into 1/4-inch medallions. Transfer the medallions to a serving platter and serve with sweet ginger rice, grilled pineapple and reserved marinade.
