In a heavy skillet cook the carrots and the leeks with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are crisp-tender, add peppers and bok choy, the lime zest, the gingerroot, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold 2 pieces of 20- by 12-inch foil in half by bringing the short ends together, unfold each piece, and arrange a swordfish steak, seasoned with salt and pepper just to one side of each fold line. Top the swordfish the vegetable mixture and dot it with the remaining oil. Fold the foil over the swordfish steaks with the vegetable mixture to enclose them, fold the edges of the foil together to form tightly sealed packets, and bake the packets on a baking sheet in a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 minutes. Open the packets carefully, transfer the swordfish steaks with vegetables mixture to plates, and pour the juices over them, discarding the foil.
Mix all ingredients for meatoloaf together in a large bowl with a wooden spoon. Bake 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through. Check internal temperature. If done in muffin pans, cooking time will be cut in about 1/3.
Make the glaze: Reduce the juice, stock and ketchup down to a very thick glaze consistency (this takes about 15 minutes), add the five spice powder and cook for a few minutes. Pour half over meatloaf fifteen minutes before it is done and the drizzle over finished meatloaf.
Cook beans in a 3-qt. saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes, and drain.

Add almonds and cook, stirring, until they begin to color slightly, about 2 minutes. Add beans and cook, stirring, until tender and heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
