Sweetcorn Semifreddo
Shuai: "I really love grapefruit a lot. Hardest part about serving cold dishes is that salinity, acidity, even sweetness changes when it's cold. You have to adjust that accordingly."
Shuai: " I really do enjoy semifreddo. If you don't know how to make ice cream, you make semifreddo."
Presenting to Judges
"Today I made a sweetcorn semifreddo with a sweet potato mochi, a cardamom creme anglaise, ginger graham cracker, and meringue."
Kristen Kish: "Shuai, are you normally a dessert person?"
Shuai: "I am terrible"
Judges
"I love that Shuai was honest about dessert. It's not a comfort zone for him, but I like the flavor of the semifreddo. I wanted the texture to be a little on the creamier side and less on granita. Like, iciness to it."
"He came up with a new dessert. Yeah, Granita Freddo."
"It was funky and weird and really playful."
