Vietnamese Shrimp & Pork Arayes, Puffed Rice and Herb Salad

Chef Michelle (during preparation): "Pitas can turn out dry, and so I need to make sure that my meat mixture is cooked nicely and that it's nice and moist when it arrives to the judges. 15 minutes on these."
Chef Michelle (presenting to judges): "A Vietnamese shrimp and pork areyas, puffed rice, herb salad, a little bit of sweet hoisin, and ginger.
Judging
"Meh. I felt Michelle's dish was very Vietnamese focused. I didn't really get anything much else coming out of it."
"Yeah, I know. I took one bite, and then I stopped eating."
"Mine's burnt. That's what I'm getting. The stuffing seems to be overcooked."
