Quince Calvados Crêpe Souffles

Ingredients:
2/3 cup whole milk
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
11/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus additional for brushing skillet
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
4 (3-inch-long) strips of fresh lemon zest (1/2 inch wide)
1 1/2 lb quince (2 medium), peeled and halved, then each half cut into 6 wedges and cored
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Calvados
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Confectioners sugar for dusting

Instructions:
Whisk together all crêpe ingredients until smooth, then chill, covered, 30 minutes.
Combine water, sugar, zest, and a pinch of salt in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add quince and simmer, covered, until fruit is very tender but not falling apart, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Discard zest.
Lightly brush an 8- to 9-inch nonstick skillet with butter, then heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Holding skillet off heat, pour in a scant 1/4 cup batter, immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly.) Return skillet to heat and cook crêpe until just set and golden around edges, 10 to 15 seconds. Loosen edge of crêpe with a heatproof rubber spatula, then transfer crêpe to a plate. Brush skillet with more butter and make 3 more crêpes in same manner, stacking crêpes on plate.
Measure out 3/4 cup poached fruit with a slotted spoon and 3 tablespoons cooking syrup (reserve remainder in saucepan), then purée in a food processor with vanilla and 1 tablespoon Calvados until smooth.
Transfer remaining fruit from reserved syrup with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl, then return to saucepan and boil until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and remaining tablespoon Calvados and cool.
Measure out 3/4 cup reserved fruit, then chop and set aside. Stir remaining fruit into reduced syrup and set aside separately.
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
Beat whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer at medium-high speed until they just hold soft peaks. Add granulated sugar in a slow stream, beating, and beat at medium-high speed until whites just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into quince purée, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Gently fold in chopped fruit.
Brush bottom sides of crêpes with some melted butter and put in a 15- by 10-inch shallow baking pan (about half of each crêpe will hang over). Divide soufflé mixture among crêpes, spooning it in center and spreading it over half of each crêpe. Gently fold other half of each crêpe over filling to rest on top. Bake until filling is puffed, set, and pale golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
Dust crêpes with confectioners sugar and serve immediately with reserved quince and syrup.

Black-Bean Shrimp with Chinese Broccoli

Ingredients:
3/4 cup homemade chicken broth (reserved from winter melon soup ) or store-bought chicken broth (reduced-sodium if canned)
3 tablespoons Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
3 teaspoons light soy sauce (preferably Pearl River Bridge brand)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 lb gai lan (Chinese broccoli)
1 1/2 lb large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per lb), peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 fresh jalapeño chile (including seeds), or to taste, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Instructions:
Stir together broth, rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved.
Remove any bruised or withered outer leaves from gai lan, then trim and peel stalks, halving thick ones lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 2 1/2-inch pieces, separating leafy parts from thick stems.
Cook stems in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add leafy parts and cook until all of gai lan is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry. Transfer to a large dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
Pat shrimp dry. Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly. Pour peanut oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side. When oil just begins to smoke, add ginger and stir-fry 5 seconds. Add black beans, garlic, and jalapeño and stir-fry 1 minute. Working quickly, add shrimp, spreading in 1 layer on bottom and side of wok. Cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes, then stir-fry until shrimp are just pink on both sides, about 1 minute more. Stir broth mixture, then add to shrimp and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil, then stir to combine.
Pour shrimp and sauce over gai lan.
Bacon-Wrapped Salmon with Wilted Spinach

Ingredients:
4 (5- to 6-oz) center-cut pieces skinless salmon fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons whole-grain or coarse-grain mustard

2 tablespoons olive oil
10 oz baby spinach (16 cups packed), rinsed but not dried
4 (10- to 12-inch) metal skewers

Instructions:
Preheat broiler and put broiler pan under broiler so that its rack is about 4 inches from heat.
Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then spread curved sides with mustard. Lay 1 bacon slice lengthwise along top of each fillet, tucking ends of bacon under fillet (ends will not meet). Thread 1 skewer through length of each fillet, entering and exiting fish through bacon to secure it.
Arrange fish, bacon sides down, on preheated rack of broiler pan and broil 3 minutes, then turn over and broil until fish is just cooked through and bacon is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes more.
While salmon broils, cook shallots in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until spinach is just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve salmon with spinach.
