Steps:
- Make the poaching liquid: In a medium pot, over medium heat, add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and add the soy, ginger, star anise, fish sauce, and orange peel. Reduce the heat and simmer until the broth absorbs the seasonings, about 15 minutes. Strain and keep the broth over low heat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the bok choy and blanch for no more than 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the bok choy from the water and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to shock it and stop the cooking. When cool, drain and set aside. Finely chop the green onion and cut the shiitake mushrooms into julienne slices. Slice the nori into thin strips.
- Put a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the shrimp to the hot oil for about 1 minute per side, just until they turn pink. Put the shrimp and clams into the hot poaching liquid and poach them for about 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and mushrooms and cook for 1 minute more.
- Remove shrimp and clams from the broth and put them into a shallow bowl. Surround them with the bok choy and shiitakes. Pour 1 or 2 ladles of broth over the dish and garnish with chopped green onion and nori strips.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring the red wine to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the figs, orange juice, honey, cayenne, rosemary and star anise and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the figs soften and the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom. Cool to room temperature before removing the anise and rosemary.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, ginger, mustard seeds, lemon zest, cinnamon stick, salt, allspice, and cloves and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until mixture is thickened and reduced by 2/3, forming a thick syrup. Add the figs and cook gently until the figs are very soft and beginning to fall apart and most of the liquid they've given off has evaporated, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chutney to a non-reactive container and allow to come to room temperature before serving. The chutney may be made up to 3 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. (Alternately, hot chutney may be ladled into hot sterilized canning jars and processed in a hot-water bath according to manufacturer's directions.)
ZESTY CHILE TIGER PRAWNS
This stir-fry is full of flavour and can be served up in a matter of minutes. The dish was inspired by all the cheap and cheerful seafood places in Hong Kong that I visited, where some of the most amazing seafood was served! I was particularly taken with a garlic prawn dish I ate - the prawns were butterflied (cut in half down the middle of the spine), topped with generous amounts of butter, garlic and spring onions and steamed. My tangy chilli and garlic prawns is inspired by that memorable dish. Make sure you buy raw tiger prawns because if you buy cooked, they will be too chewy when cooked again in this dish.

- Add the French beans, and mix together. When the prawns have all turned pink, season with the salt, and chile flakes, and serve immediately.
