Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, saute in sesame oil the garlic, shallots, lemongrass, and ginger until slightly browned. Remove from heat and transfer to mixing bowl.

Place a small amount of the mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the edges of the wrappers up around the mixture and squeeze the edges to seal the dumpling.
• Deep fry dumplings in 350 degree F peanut oil until golden brown. Serve with Red Curry-Coconut Cream.
• In a small saucepan, add sesame oil and lightly saute the garlic, shallots, ginger, and lemongrass until translucent; do not brown. Add in kaffir lime leaves, cover with rice vinegar and mirin, and continue cooking, until liquid is reduced by half.
• Stir in red curry paste and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Thicken to sauce consistency with cornstarch mixture. Steep in cilantro and add lime juice. Strain through a fine seive.

SHOOTER'S SANDWICH

Steps:

• The steak should be about 2 inches thick, cut from some fine animal. Cut one end off the bread and remove as much center crumb as necessary to allow the steak and mushrooms to fit in snugly when cooked. Quickly sear the meat in a very hot pan, keeping the meat rare. Take from the fire and season well on both sides, then insert it into the hollowed loaf. Grill enough mushrooms to cover the meat and place them over the steak. Replace the removed crust end of the loaf.
• Wrap the whole thing in a double sheet of white blotting paper and secure with string. Then secure again with parchment paper and more string. (Or use foil and film). Place under a weighted board for 6 hours. When eating this sandwich just cut off a slice as required.
