SOFT, SPICY, HEAVENLY GINGER COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
• Stir in the molasses.
• Mix the water and baking soda and stir.
• Sift together the flour, salt, and dry spices; add gradually to the sugar-margarine mixture.
• Gradually stir the sifted ingredients, along with the ginger and raisins, into the molasses mixture.
• Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• (The dough may be too soft to handle at this point- I suggest either adding a bit of flour, or refrigerating for 20 minutes[or even overnight]).
• Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.
• Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

SPICY GINGER CHILI NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot (350 degrees F), 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the scallions, garlic paste, ginger, red pepper flakes and salt in a heatproof bowl. Stir well.
• Remove the oil from the heat and carefully add to the mixture. Stir to combine and set aside. Let the flavors sit to combine for 20 minutes. (This mixture can be made ahead of time, cooled completely and stored in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 days.)
• Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain and add the hot noodles to a large bowl.
• Add the flavored oil, honey, soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss well to combine. Add more soy or salt to taste.
• Garnish with sliced scallions and sriracha to taste.

SPICY GINGER SUNDAES WITH FIVE-SPICE CRISPS

Steps:

• Divide the ice cream between two bowls or sundae glasses. Top with the ginger caramel and coconut chips. Add the crisps to the edge of each bowl or glass and finish each with a dollop of whipped cream. Dive in.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and sambal and cook for a minute to release the flavor. Add the coconut sugar, cream and salt. Cook while whisking gently until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use warm or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the sugar and five-spice powder together in a small bowl.
• Add the tortillas to a sheet pan and brush the tops with half of the melted butter. Sprinkle the tortillas with half of the sugar mixture. Flip and repeat with the remaining butter and sugar mixture.
• Bake until very crisp and golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Break apart and eat as a snack or with your favorite ice cream.

SPICY GINGER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Blot chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, and place the flour in another bowl. Dip chicken wings into the egg, then into the flour to lightly coat, shaking off the excess.
• Melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Pan fry the chicken wings until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, gently boil the cider vinegar, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, monosodium glutamate, salt, serrano chile peppers, and ginger in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Toss the browned chicken wings in the sauce to coat, then transfer the wings to large baking dish with a slotted spoon. Reserve remaining sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes, rotating and basting with the reserved sauce after 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds on the chicken wings before serving.

EXTRA SPICY GINGER SNAPPERS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or use a hand mixer.
• Add the sugars and mix well.
• Add the molasses and mix.
• Add the egg whites in 2 bathes, mixing to combine after each addition.
• Add the dry ingredients in three batches, mixing to combine after each addition.
• Heat the oven to 350*.
• Spread the last cup of granulated sugar on a small plate -- Roll the dough into 3/4" balls -- then roll each ball in the sugar until lightly coated.
• Transfer to the cookie sheets, leaving 1" of space between the cookies.
• Bake until browned, 8-10 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool on wire racks and store in an airtight container.

GINGERBREAD WHOOPIE PIES

• Drop dough in balls onto prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart, using a 1-ounce cookie scoop.
