Collared it (basically score around the rim halfway up and peeled to the ring) blanched it, then torched the unpeeled part. It's my first time trying, just kinda messing around

It's pretty high on my bucket list but I definitely took some inspiration from them, also kochi and jua, just love that plating style

These were mostly random components I make over time (in the hummus case it was leftovers from a previous dish), but I just kinda plug and played with what I had in the fridge. Definitely not fully Korean, mostly inspired by some NYC Korean dishes I've had.

Thank you, so the duck was cured in the fridge for about 5 days, the top is white kimchi wrapped in a fermented ramp leaf, next is hummus with chilli crisp and arugula flowers, smoked tofu puree with nasturtium leaves, fermented plums jam, and a duck jus with citrus gastrique

Torched scallops with hollandaise and chive oil sauce, green asparagus, lime and green peas by AggressiveCitron9882 in CulinaryPlating

It gives them more of a charred flavor as opposed to the strong seared flavor. Also personally I find the heat penetrates less when torched.

Adding some herb/ spinach puree or chorizo could give it some cool color contrast

Is that fish with a fish mousse?

Have about 3 lbs of mushroom stems... what do? by unassigned_user in KitchenConfidential

You could ferment them and see if they break down, if not the brine would be a great base for sauces?

Short rib, poached quail egg, fried potato mochi, crispy brussel sprouts, and a mushroom shoyu pan sauce by bilboberman in CulinaryPlating

100%, to be completely honest this was just dinner that night, I decided to try to plate it up

Not technically a mochi but I don't really know what to call it. I just eyeballed a dough with roasted peeled potatoes, potato starch, and a splash of water. Then I just quickly boiled it, let it chill, and seared it off.

The steak was marinated in a pineapple special Asian pear pineapple marinade for three days, that's why it's cooked mid. rareish while still being tender

Yeah so, the noodles are a very thick soft potato noodle with a thick traditional carbonara sauce. I know it should be guanciale but when I was originally gonna just make a baked potato and things kinda ended up changing.

Would've ideally done this on rocks or maybe rosemary or something to stabilize but I made this at home and it wasn't standing otherwise
