Nectarine Salad with Coconut Nuoc Chom Sauce
Shuai: "Having four people using similar ingredients, you might be cooking dishes that are very similar. No one's gonna be making this crunchy salad that I make at the restaurant. I love a good nap of cabbage in a salad instead of, like, greens. I like the texture much better. Nice. Plus, I can very easily incorporate the ingredients that we have the right answers to."
Shuai had 30 minutes for this challenge and his ingredients were;
Shiso
Ginger
Eggplant
Nectarines
Chili Crisp
Lamb
Scallops
Panko breadcrumbs
Presenting to Judges
Shuai: "I made a nectarine salad of Napa cabbage, radish, jalapeno. There are two different types of shiso in there, and the sauce itself is a coconut nuoc chom."
Judge: "Are you happy with how it turned out?"
Shuai: "Yes, I like to use a nectarine that's slightly more tart because I really like that acid and crunch."
