CRISPY SQUASH CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a vegetable peeler to peel squash skin as thinly as possible. Chop peels into 1-inch square pieces; you should have about 1 cup squash peels. Reserve squash flesh for another use.
• Mix olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, cumin, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add squash peels and stir until evenly coated. Spread peels onto 2 baking sheets.
• Roast in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes; watch closely as thinner chips can burn quickly.
• Season roasted chips with salt as needed.

SWORDFISH WITH CRISPY EGGPLANT CHIPS, TOMATO AND EGGPLANT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: To a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat, add the blended oil. Add the garlic, shallots, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and the baby eggplant to the saute pan. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the peeled tomatoes, squashing the tomatoes in your hand as you add them. Add about 2 cups chicken stock and allow to simmer, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the cinnamon stick and strain the sauce through a food mill placed over a bowl and pass through. Place back into the same pan and place over medium heat. Whisk in the butter until melted.
• For the eggplant chips: Add about 1/4-inch blended oil to a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Heat the oil to 360 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
• Once the oil is heated, coat the eggplant in the rice flour and shallow fry until golden brown, on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the eggplant chips on a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the fish: Season each swordfish steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the blended oil and add the seasoned fish. Cook on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside.
• For each serving: Place a piece of fish on a plate. Spoon some of the sauce alongside the fish. Garnish with a pile or "shortstack" of eggplant chips and freshly torn basil. Drizzle the plate with extra-virgin olive oil and garnish with the orange zest.

CRISPY STUFFED LOTUS ROOT WITH PORK

Steps:

• To stuff the lotus roots: Peel each lotus root and then wash well. Remove both ends and cut the lotus root into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 32 slices, if possible). Soak the slices in a large bowl of cold water to prevent the lotus root from turning black and remove some of the starches.
• Add the ground pork, Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon of the potato starch, 4 teaspoons of the soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of the toasted sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, the ground white pepper and the chicken bouillon powder if using to a large bowl. Add all the scallion white parts and half of the green parts and 3 tablespoons cold water, and stir in one direction until the mixture is combined and very sticky, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the filling aside.
• Drain the lotus root slices and arrange them in pairs of similar-size slices on a sheet of paper towel. Pat dry with a second paper towel. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the pork filling on 1 piece of each pair of lotus root slices. If there is leftover pork filling, evenly divide it among the slices. Top the filling with the remaining lotus root slices to make sandwiches. Gently press them together so the pork fills the holes of the lotus roots on both sides; smooth the filling around the edges.
• To fry the lotus roots: Fill a wok or a Dutch oven with about 1 1/2 inches frying oil (about 4 cups for a wok) and heat it over medium heat to 300 degrees F. Set a cooling rack in a baking sheet. As the oil is heating up, lightly dust the outside of the stuffed lotus roots with flour.
• Mix the batter by whisking the flour, baking powder, baking soda, five-spice powder, 1/3 cup potato starch, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly drizzle in the seltzer and whisk until the batter is just smooth and resembles the consistency of a crepe batter. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of cold seltzer at the time until it reaches the right consistency. Stir in 2 ice cubes to keep the batter cold.
• When the oil is ready, one at a time, dip a stuffed lotus root into the batter to coat and then carefully lower it into the hot oil. Repeat with more stuffed lotus roots so you are frying 7 to 8 pieces at a time, regulating the heat to bring it back to 300 degrees F. Cook, gently moving the lotus roots so they don't stick to the bottom, until light golden, 5 to 6 minutes (you aren't cooking them all the way through because they will be fried again). Remove from the oil using a spider or slotted spoon and set on the prepared baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining stuffed lotus roots. (The lotus roots will turn soggy after a few minutes, that is normal.)
• Increase the heat to high heat and bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Fry half the stuffed lotus roots until dark golden brown and very crunchy, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove them to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining stuffed lotus roots.
• To make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add the white vinegar, chili crisp, sesame seeds, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil and green parts of the scallions.
• Serve the lotus roots warm with the dipping sauce.
