"This dish is so beautiful and awesome. I serve it with a large plate of cilantro, Thai basil, mint, thinly sliced green onion, cucumber, thin slices of avocado, and a big bowl of steamed rice. Makes me hungry just thinking about it."
Steamed whole red snapper with sambal paste
Ingredients:
- Sambal paste:
- 1/4 cup cilantro stems
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 shallot roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean fermented red chili paste)
- 1/4 cup sambal
- Juice from half a lime
Directions: With a mortar and pestle grind cilantro stems. Add garlic and shallot and pound well. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and set aside.
1 whole wild red snapper, 2-3 1/2 pounds, scaled and cleaned
Salt and pepper
Directions: Simmer a small amount of water in a wok or pan large enough to hold a bamboo steamer. Score each side of fish about a 1/4 of an inch deep three times. Season the fish inside and out with salt and fresh ground pepper. Rub the sambal paste on the entire fish as well as the inside. Place fish on a large plate big enough to fit inside the steamer basket. Place in the steamer basket and cover. Allow the fish to steam 8-10 minutes or until the flesh comes off the bone easily. Collect all the liquid from the steamed fish and pour it back over the fish.

"Working with Sriracha was a challenge, not because of its spiciness but because of the garlic. But I had a lot of fun with it. A little goes a long way and as a result the Cock's Comb definitely has a kick to it. I took inspiration from the flavor profile of Thai food and attempted to marry that with the time-honored cocktail formula of sweet, sour, bitter, and booze."
Cock's Comb
Ingredients:
- 3 healthy dashes Angostura bitters
- 1/2 ounce agave-Sriracha syrup*
- 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
- 1? ounces aged rum (Ron Abuelo A?ejo works great)
- Lemon twist for garnish
Directions: Add all ingredients (except lemon twist) to shaker. Add ice and shake. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist, making sure to express oils over the drink. Pairing suggestion: This drink would probably be delicious with mac and cheese.
*Agave-Sriracha Syrup: 1 part Sriracha, 2 parts water, 6 parts agave syrup (look for the lighter, non-amber kind).

"Lan Chi is my go-to Asian condiment. It has great depth of flavor and texture with chunky fermented garlic and ground chili peppers. I use it to make a dressing for a warm fish salad for family meal. When butchering fish you tend to get a few odd end pieces. I cook them off and flake them into a salad of Napa cabbage, red onion, cilantro, scallions and jalape?os. Add the dressing below and you have an awesome quick meal before the dinner rush starts! Lan Chi is available at Asian markets throughout Atlanta."
Lan Chi dressing
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lan Chi (if you can't find Lan Chi, sub sambal or Sriracha)
- 2 dashes fish sauce
- juice of 1/2 a lime
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Directions: Mix together in a bowl and adjust seasoning to your preference.

"Fish sauce is extremely different cooked than straight up. The pungent saltiness develops other flavors when cooked, but it tastes great right out of the bottle."
Crispy Pig Ears
Ingredients:
- 5 pounds pig ears
- 1 gallon of water
- 2 star anise pods
- 2 cloves, whole
- 2 cinnamon sticks, crushed
- 1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon coriander, whole
- 1/8 cup salt
- ? cup fish sauce
- ? pound ginger, smashed
- 10 cloves garlic, whole
- 3 large shallots, sliced
- 1 tangerine, halved
- oil for frying
Directions: Combine all ingredients, except frying oil, in a large pot and simmer on low heat for 10 hours. Strain the ears from the liquid and layer in a large casserole dish that has been lined with plastic wrap. Cover with plastic wrap. Apply pressure with another container of the same size weighted on top. This pressure will allow the ears to adhere to one another, forming a sort of sheet. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove ears from dish, ideally in one piece, and slice into thin strips. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry to goodness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
