Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture.

(Can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.)
• Make meatballs: mix turkey, scallions, cilantro, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce and several grindings of pepper in a bowl. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, generously cover bottom of pan with vegetable oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding, place meatballs in pan and cook, turning, until browned all over and cooked inside, about 8 minutes per batch. Arrange on a heated platter, spoon a little sauce over each meatball, and serve with toothpicks. If desired, keep warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve. Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.

Garnish with scallions just before serving.

GRILLED OYSTERS WITH BUTTERY SOY-SAKE GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the sake, sugar and shoyu in a small saucepan along with the smashed garlic and ginger. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced into a syrupy glaze with large, dark bubbles, about 30 minutes. Using a spoon or strainer, remove and discard garlic and ginger. You should have about 1/2 cup glaze. Stir in the butter.
• After the sauce is prepared (or as it reduces), ignite a full chimney of coals and spread out under one side of the grill once they are fully covered in gray ash, or heat half the burners of a gas grill to high. Cover and let the grill heat for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut off a sheet of aluminum foil twice the length of a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet. Crumple it up so that it fits into the baking sheet. The crumpled foil should be able to support the cupped side of the oysters without allowing them to tip over.
• Using tongs, arrange the oysters over the hot side of the grill, placing them with the cupped sides down, doing your best to set them in the grates so that oyster juices don't pour out of the cups as they open. Cover and cook, checking on them every minute or so, and transferring any oysters that have begun to gape open to the foil-lined baking sheet. After a total of 4 minutes, transfer any remaining oysters to the foil whether they have opened or not. Place the saucepan on the cooler side of the grill.
• As soon as the oysters are cool enough to handle, pry off the top shells with a butter knife or oyster knife, severing through the muscle that holds the oyster to the shell and retaining as much juice in the shell as possible. For oysters that aren't already gaping open, the easiest way to pry off the lids is by inserting the tip of the knife into the joint and firmly twisting it until the joint releases.
• Spoon a generous teaspoon of the glaze into each oyster, then return the oysters directly onto the grates on the hot side of the grill. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce mixture is bubbling hot, about 1 minute.
• Return the oysters to the foil-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with scallions, and serve immediately.

RED SNAPPER WITH SPICY SOY GLAZE ON SAUTEED VEGETABLES AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Separately cut carrots and bell pepper into thin strips and diagonally cut snow peas into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop coriander. Peel sweet potato and, if desired, with a channel knife cut 4 lengthwise grooves (one every quarter turn). Cut potato crosswise into 12 slices (about 1/4 inch thick) and in a steamer set over 1 inch boiling water steam slices, in one layer if possible, covered, until just cooked through and tender but not falling apart, about 8 minutes.
• Remove steamer from heat and season potato with salt and pepper. Keep potato warm in steamer, covered. In a small saucepan heat glaze and keep warm, covered.
• Preheat oven to 275°F.
• In a non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté 2 fillets, skin sides down, pressing on fish with a metal spatula to help skin brown evenly, until skin is golden brown, about 1 minute. With spatula turn fillets over and sauté until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer fillets, skin sides up, to a non-stick baking pan and sauté remaining 2 fillets in 1/2 teaspoon oil in same manner. Bake fish in middle of oven until just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
• While fish is baking, in a large non-stick skillet heat 1/2 teaspoon remaining oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté carrots until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil, bell pepper, and snow peas and sauté vegetables, stirring, until just tender, about 30 seconds. Add cabbage and onion and sauté, stirring, until just tender, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer sautéed vegetables to a bowl and toss with coriander, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide potato among 4 plates and top with sautéed vegetables. Put fillets, skin sides up, on vegetables and drizzle with some glaze.
• Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve remaining glaze on the side.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SKEWERS WITH A HONEY SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Cook the honey in a medium saute pan over medium heat until golden brown and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, pearl onions, scallions and lemon zest and juice. Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 cup water and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions are tender and the sauce is reduced, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the onions and let them cool. Keep the sauce warm.
• Skewer the vegetables: Start each skewer with a pearl onion followed by alternating 3 pieces pepper with 3 pieces zucchini and finishing with another pearl onion. Arrange the skewers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Cook the vegetables: Preheat the grill for cooking at medium-high heat.
• Brush the skewers with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the skewers in a single layer on the hottest part of the grill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them on the other side and move them to a slightly cooler part of the grill if they are getting overdone.
