COCONUT RED CURRY WITH SAUTéED BOK CHOY AND JASMINE COCONUT RICE
Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with kosher salt; it should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with kosher salt. Add the bok choy stems and leaves to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they're tender but still have a crunch. Remove the bok choy and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside. Drain the water - you can reserve the pot for the curry sauce!
- To a medium saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, half of the garlic and half of the ginger. Turn on the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir, making sure it's fully coated with the oil, garlic and ginger. Turn up the heat to medium-high and toast the rice for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 can of the coconut milk, 1/3 cup of the chicken stock and kosher salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to a simmer and cook for 18 minutes. Turn off the pan and let sit, without opening the lid, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the chopped cilantro leaves.
- To make the curry sauce, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in the same pot that was used to blanch the bok choy. Add the remaining garlic and ginger, the onion and minced cilantro stems. Cook until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallion whites, red curry paste, 2 tablespoons of the fish sauce and the palm sugar. Stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining can of coconut milk and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring back up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced and slightly thickened. Add the lime juice and zest.
- Pat the skin dry on the red snapper and sprinkle with kosher salt. Heat a large nonstick pan with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the snapper skin-side down into the sauté pan. Place another oiled pan on top of the fish to weigh it down so the skin gets crispy. Cook until the skin is crisp, about 4 minutes, then remove the oiled pan on top and flip the fish. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from the pan onto a sheet tray skin-side up. Add the shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until pink, then remove from the pan. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan, then add the bok choy and the remaining 1 teaspoon fish sauce. Stir to combine and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to warm through.
- Plate the rice and top with the sautéed bok choy. Place the fish and shrimp over the top of the bok choy. Spoon the red curry sauce around the rice, being careful not to cover the fish skin so it stays crispy. Garnish with the sliced scallion greens and cilantro leaves.

SAVORY COCONUT RICE
I love coconut rice, especially as a side for spicy grilled meats, but when I order it out, it's usually too sweet for my tastes, and more closely resembles dessert than a side dish. So, I decided to create a more savory version at home, which I eventually did, after a few short decades of testing.

LOBSTER CURRY
Cape Malays were the first to braise lobster in spices, which resulted in this delicious curry, for which many variations exist. Earlier writers specify tamarind juice; more recently this has been replaced by lemon juice. For a simpler recipe, use lobster tails instead of whole lobsters and omit the first step in the method.

Steps:
- Kill the lobsters by plunging the tip of a large sharp knife straight down behind the lobsters' eyes. Separate tails from bodies. Wash well. Cut off fanned tail shells; set aside. Pull out the alimentary canal. Slice tails through lengthwise (first snip through the under-shell with scissors).
- Bring the fish stock to the boil in a large saucepan, add lobster bodies and tail fans and boil for 6 minutes (no longer or you will overcook the legs). Remove from the pot. Pull off legs and claws, cover and set aside with the tail fans (they will later decorate the completed dish). Strain and retain the stock for the sauce.
- Heat a little oil in a large saucepan and lightly cook the lobster tail pieces for about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Lightly brown the onions and garlic in the same pot (add extra oil if necessary), then add the chilli, curry leaves, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom and cinnamon. Sizzle the spices for about 30 seconds, then add the chopped tomato, lemon juice, stock and a little salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Just before serving return the lobster to the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes until cooked. Add the yoghurt and heat through. Tip into a warm bowl, or serve directly from the pan. Garnish with the reserved tail fans and legs, and serve with Yellow Rice and Quince Sambal.
