Tahdig, Yuzu Kosho Sauce, Quail Eggs, Salmon & Seaweed Salad
Chef Laura: "I'm going to crust the tahdig in ring molds. This dish, I serve it at my restaurant. People love it, and I call it Californian Tahdig."
Chef Laura (presenting to judges): "What I made for you is a tahdig. So it's a crispy Persian rice with Asian flavors. Yuzu kosho sauce, quail egg yolks, salmon seaweed salad on top. Mixing those two completely different ideas, that's the chaos that I wanted to create on the dish."
Judging
"Laura's dish, I just wish it was a little more flavorful."
"A lot of the persian flavors felt like they were side by side on the plate rather than coming together harmoniously."
"Also, it's very contemporary plating, very orderly. Yeah, like, it's sort of the opposite of chaotic."
