Alaskan rockfish fillets simmered with a spicy sauce (bplah dtom saep). Paste was pureed shallot, garlic, habanero chiles (sub for bird chiles), and white peppercorns. Sauce included slivered ginger, palm sugar, fish sauce, and water. Simmered the fish until done, removed, and cooked down the sauce by half. I will definitely make this again.
Cabbage with tomato and spices (cayenne, cumin, turmeric). Sauteed chopped onion, jalapenos, and ginger for 30 minutes until browned, added the cabbage and spices, and then simmered with crushed tomato.
Cucumber relish with slivered ginger and shallots, sliced jalapeno, and chopped cilantro. Syrup was diluted rice vinegar, palm sugar, and salt. Very clean and refreshing.
