TUB TIM KROB (RED RUBIES)

Steps:

• Dice the water chestnuts into chunks and toss with the red food coloring until evenly coated. Throw the colored water chestnuts into a bowl. Sprinkle with the tapioca flour and mix well to coat.
• Pour out the contents into a colander and shake off the excess flour (make sure there's not too much flour or the texture will be too gummy and you will lose the water chestnut flavor).
• Put the floured chestnuts into a pot of boiling water. Boil until the flour turns translucent and the red of the water chestnuts is all that's left, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain the water chestnuts. Toss into a bowl of ice cubes and water.
• To serve, scoop the Red Rubies into small glasses. Drizzle Jasmine Simple Syrup and coconut milk or cream on top. Serve immediately.
• Boil the sugar and water with the jasmine essence to flavor your syrup. Pour into squeeze bottles. Refrigerate.

POTATO GNOCCHI WITH VEGETABLE PEARLS

Steps:

• To make the gnocchi: Take the potatoes (unpeeled) and cook them in boiling salted water. Cook the potatoes until they are soft when pierced with a fork. Remove from the water and peel the potatoes as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Puree the potatoes through a food mill and make sure there are no lumps. Once the potatoes have cooled a bit more, add the egg yolks and incorporate. Then add all of the other ingredients and gently work the dough until all components are worked in. Divide the dough into equal parts and start to roll the dough into thin logs. Dust the table with the flour to make rolling easier. Cut into small pieces across the dough with the back of the knife or a bench scraper and store the gnocchi on a pan with more flour on it.
• To make the sauce: Melt butter in saucepan. Add vegetables. Saute for 1 minute. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese and chives. Reserve.
• To assemble: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add gnocchi. Cook for approximately1 minutes. Drain well and add to finished sauce. Toss gnocchi with sauce, add cheese and chives and serve.
