Cornmeal Pancake with Scrambled Eggs
Shuai: "I'm making a johnny cake. Like a cornmeal pancake. Buttermilk topped with some scallion, some cheddar, some lap cheong in there."
Shuai: "I plan to put this grated cheese on one side of the pancake so when you flip it, you get this cheese layer. To make a pancake handheld, you want to create a vehicle similar to a sandwich or taco, where you pick it up, nothing falls down."
Presenting to Judges
Shuai: " I did a cornmeal pancake, a little scallion, also a bit of lap cheong, a little cheddar on the bottom as well to give that little crisp. Topped with scrambled eggs and the sauce is chili crisp, avocado aioli."
Judges
"Lots and lots of flavor that you had. The cheese on the outside, so it kept it really crispy, and it was a nice, hefty portion."
