Not for the faint of heart, these pieces of piquant poultry get their heat from Thai Sriracha sauce. A great base marinade of cumin, coriander and cinnamon grounds the fiery heat of these wings. Perfect for game time, or anytime you want a little change from the typical, and now wimpy, "wing." Temper the heat with a cool, yogurt-lime dipping sauce.

The Yin and Yang of many Chinese dishes, five spice powder is a magical blend of cassia cinnamon, star anise, anise seed, ginger, and cloves. The heating of these pungent ingredients transforms the powder into a smoky, nutty, sweet and savory condiment. The addition of coarse salt makes it the perfect dipping salt for Asian foods, but try it sprinkled on fried chicken or your next baked potato!

Cooking The Perfect Steak - Part Seven

Image

Number 66 at my parents' restaurant was a dish called Steak Kue. Open ordering, a ribeye was quickly seared on an old, flat, blackened grill. The steak was quickly cut into pieces and stir fried with celery, bok choy, mushrooms and onions. Thickened with a cornstarch slurry, the natural gravy was set apart by "a touch of oyster sauce." The heavenly marriage of oyster sauce and beef was the inspiration for this Perfect Steak recipe.
