ASIAN-SPICED DUCK BREASTS WITH GINGER-CHILI GLAZE
Steps:
- Heat grill to medium-high. Score the skin-side of the duck with a knife in a lattice pattern, being sure not to cut through to the flesh. Season each breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Rub the skin side of each breast with a few tablespoons of the rub and place on the grill, rub side down, and grill until slightly charred and the skin begins to get crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the breasts over, brush with some of the glaze and continue grill to medium-rare doneness, another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the duck from the grill and brush with more of the glaze. Let rest for 5 minutes then slice 1/4-inch thick on the diagonal. Place the grilled green onions on a platter and top with the sliced duck breast. Serve with warm tortillas.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and cook until soft. Add the chili paste and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the honey and soy and cook until just combined and the honey has melted. Let cool before using.

ASIAN SHRIMP AND GINGER FRITTERS WITH SWEET CHILI DIPPING SAUCE
These tasty morsels are always popular as an appetizer and team well with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Add more chilies to the sauce if you like it hot! You can obtain fish sauce (and also a sweet chili dipping sauce, if you prefer not to make your own) in an Asian food store. The fritters can also be served with my Thai Sweet Chili Sauce, posted separately.

Steps:
- Shrimp and Ginger Fritters: Place the breadcrumbs and coconut milk together in a bowl, and set aside.
- Place the shrimp meat, ginger, cilantro, egg and fish sauce into a food processor bowl, and pulse until the mixture is combined.
- It is important not to over-mix or otherwise it will turn into a paste!

- Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, or to 350 degrees F (180 C) in a deep-fryer.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
- Do this in batches.
- As the fritters cook, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm in a low oven.
- Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until blended and sugar is dissolved.
- Serve in a small bowl (it yields 1 cup) to accompany the Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters.
ASIAN BROCCOLI SALAD WITH TANGY CHILI-GARLIC DRESSING
With broccoli's high levels of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and pro-detoxification compounds, easy-to-absorb calcium and soluble and insoluble fiber, it's definitely a vegetable you want to be eating more of-and I'm not talking just the usual side of steamed broccoli. It's also a great base for super-tasty meals like this salad.

A change of pace for you chili lovers. This is something I've developed over the years as a way to use up hoisin sauce. Can be made in crock pot...just throw everything in and cook on low for 6 hours. This makes very thick chili, if you like it thinner, just add water or broth.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish, so it's important to use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
- Use a variety of chilies: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of chilies to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular chilies for Asian cooking include serrano peppers, Thai chiles, and habanero peppers.
- Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before using them will help to release their flavor and aroma. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a mortar and pestle: A mortar and pestle is a great way to grind your spices and herbs into a fine powder. This will help to release their flavor and aroma, and it will also help to create a smooth, consistent paste.
- Don't overcrowd your pan: When cooking Asian chili, it's important to not overcrowd your pan. This will cause the food to steam instead of fry, and it will also make it difficult to get a good sear on the meat.
- Use a high-quality oil: When cooking Asian chili, it's important to use a high-quality oil that can withstand high heat. Some good options include grapeseed oil, avocado oil, and coconut oil.
- Season your dish to taste: Once your chili is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You may also want to add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Asian chili is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its bold flavors and variety of ingredients, it's sure to become a favorite in your household. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, Asian chili is sure to please. So what are you waiting for? Start cooking!
