Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • RHUBARB MARGARITA:
  • Kosher salt, for the rim
  • Lime wedge, for the rim
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 3/4 ounce orange liqueur, such as triple sec or Cointreau
  • 3/4 ounce lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce rhubarb simple syrup
Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. To make the rhubarb syrup, in a large saucepan, combine rhubarb and water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer; cook 15-20 minutes or until the rhubarb is very soft and pale in color. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface; discard. Remove from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into another small saucepan; allow to drain thoroughly to yield the most juice. Measure the strained liquid; it should be about 3 cups. Stir in the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat; let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container; refrigerate.
  2. To make the margarita, pour a thin layer of salt onto a small saucer. Rub a lime wedge along half the rim of a rocks glass; dip the moistened edge into the salt to coat. Fill the rocks glass and a cocktail shaker with ice. Add tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and 1/2 an ounce rhubarb syrup. Shake well until thoroughly chilled. Strain into the prepared rocks glass. Serve immediately.
  3. Store remaining rhubarb syrup for a later use.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 slice good-quality toast
  • 1/2 large Haas avocado
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chili crisp and thinly sliced green onions, optional
Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add butter to a skillet, place it on the stove over low-medium heat.
  2. Crack an egg in a bowl or ramekin, then gently drop it in the pan so the egg stays in shape. Allow the egg to cook on low-medium. When the egg white looks like it's dancing, it’s ready. If you like a more cooked egg, feel free to put a lid on the pan for just 10-15 seconds. That way, the yolk is still jammy, but the overall look is still preserved.
  3. Thinly slice the avocado—tilt your knife to a 45-degree angle and slice precisely using the tip so it’s clean-cut and does not stick to the knife. Press the avocado for a beautiful wave of green.
  4. Layer the avocado slices onto the toast. Season with salt and pepper; layer the egg on top.
  5. Top with 2-3 teaspoons of chili crisp and garnish with green onions, if you like.

    3. Crack one egg with a splash of water and whisk until smooth. Then, brush the egg wash onto the rolled pigs in blankets.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound tuna steaks, cubed
    • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
    • 1/4 yellow onion, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon sliced shallot
    • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
    • 1 package rice papers
    • 1 avocado
    • Oil for frying
    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. Slice the yellow onions and shallots and chop the green onions, then set them aside. Pat dry the tuna steak and cut into 1-inch cubes (or half-inch cubes; remember to reduce marinade time if it’s smaller).
    2. In a bowl, assemble the tuna cubes and onions. Season with mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours (if the color turns from pink to grayish, don’t be alarmed; it’s just the soy sauce and onion breaking down the enzymes and marinating it more).
    3. Cut 3-4 pieces of rice paper in quarters (you can stop here or cut them again to make them smaller; they'll fry beautifully either way).
    4. Pour 1-1/2 cups of oil in a fairly deep pot and heat it on high. To tell when the oil is hot enough, stick a wooden utensil into the oil. When the oil bubbles quickly, it’s time to fry. Fry 1-2 pieces of rice paper at a time. As soon as the rice paper goes from a hard plastic feel to a puffy white chip, immediately remove it from the oil (it will be quick!) and set it on a drying rack over paper towels to catch the excess oil.
    5. Remove the poke from the fridge and add cubed avocado. Enjoy with a light, airy, crunchy rice paper chip.
