Ingredients

• ✓ cilantro stem
• vegetable oil
• palm sugar
• lime juice
• rice vinegar
• fish sauce
• ginger
• garlic
• cilantro leaf
• thai chile
• water
• coconut juice
• green onion
• ginger
• salt
• chicken skin
• chicken thigh

Instructions

1. 1 Fill a large pot with 4 to 5 inches of water. Insert a large steam rack inside the pot.
2. 2 Season chicken thighs with salt and spread ginger slices over top. Arrange thighs in an even layer in a large, shallow, heat-proof bowl. Sprinkle white parts of green onions over top; pour in coconut juice and water. Place the bowl onto the steam rack in the pot.
3. 3 Cover the pot and bring water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4. 4 While the chicken is cooking, combine Thai chiles, cilantro stems, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and palm sugar in a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined. Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and stir in green parts of green onions.
5. 5 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until smoking, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour hot oil into sauce mixture, and stir to combine.
6. 6 Use an oven mitt or dish retriever tool to carefully remove chicken bowls from the pot. Transfer chicken to a plate; discard ginger and green onion pieces.
7. 7 Pour remaining cooking liquid through a sieve into sauce mixture; stir to combine.
8. 8 Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Ingredients

• ✓ cilantro stem
• ginger
• lime juice
• fish sauce
• sugar
• salt
• pepper
• olive oil
• garlic
• lime zest
• red chile pepper
• cilantro leaf
• tuna steak
• watercress
• cherry tomato
• red chile pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together the ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Slowly whisk in olive oil until incorporated. Set aside and refrigerate half of this mixture to be used as a salad dressing later. Whisk the garlic, lime zest, minced chile pepper, and cilantro stems into the marinade. Coat the tuna steaks with the marinade, cover, and let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
2. 2 Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is very hot, remove the tuna from the marinade, and place into the skillet. Sear the tuna until golden brown on both sides, and cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium, depending on thickness.
3. 3 Place the watercress in a large bowl with the cilantro leaves, cherry tomatoes, and sliced chile pepper. Pour in the reserved dressing, and toss to mix. Serve the seared tuna on a bed of salad.
