Sobrassada amb mel
Toasted bread with sausage and honey
Sobrassada amb mel: toasted bread with Mallorca's soft paprika pork sausage, grilled and drizzled with honey
SpanishSweet and salty sobrassada toast is the snack Mallorcan bars put out with a cold drink, and it often closes a winter meal at home. Sobrassada is the island's soft, spreadable cured sausage of pork and paprika. This contains pork. Spread on country bread, warmed until it melts and sizzles, and finished with a thread of honey, it takes five minutes. Sobrassada is a raw cured meat, so eaten unheated it is not for pregnant women, young children or anyone with a weakened immune system; this recipe grills it until piping hot. Chef's tip: spread it thinly right to the edges, so it crisps instead of pooling in the middle.

Method
0/4 doneStep 1: Heat the grill to high. Toast the 4 slices country bread under it for 1–2 minutes a side until crisp and golden.
4 minStep 2: Spread the 4 oz sobrassada (soft cured pork sausage) thinly over each slice, right to the edges.
1 minStep 3: Grill for 1–2 minutes until the sobrassada melts, sizzles and its orange fat bubbles at the edges; it should be piping hot all through (160°F). A common mistake is grilling too long; the paprika scorches and turns bitter in seconds.
2 minStep 4: Drizzle with the 2 tbsp honey, add a little 1 pinch black pepper if you like, and eat straight away.

Yaki onigiriGrilled rice balls
Yaki onigiri (焼きおにぎり) are rice balls grilled until they form a crisp, toasty crust, then brushed with soy sauce glaze. They are eaten all over Japan, at izakaya, at barbecues and from the freezer section, as a snack or with miso soup. The inside stays soft and steamy while the outside crackles. Best eaten hot, straight from the pan. Chef's tip: let the shaped rice balls dry for 10 minutes before they go in the pan. A drier surface forms a better crust and won't stick, and the glaze goes on only at the end so it doesn't burn.

Taiwanese grilled corn
At Raohe and Shilin night markets the grilled-corn stalls are easy to find: look for the queue and the smoky, sweet smell. Cobs are par-cooked, then turned slowly over charcoal while the cook brushes them with a dark glaze of sacha sauce, thick soy paste, garlic and chilli, layer after layer, until the kernels are sticky, slightly charred and deeply savoury. It is eaten hot from a paper sleeve while walking the market. Sacha (shacha) sauce, a Taiwanese barbecue paste, usually contains dried fish and shrimp; vegetarian sacha is sold in Asian shops. Contains soy, wheat and fish. Chef's tip: brush thin coats and turn often; one thick coat burns before the corn chars.
