The Perfect Egg

I was never able to attract customers to try this at Chinese Spoon. I always thought customers didn't like runny yolks. I gave it a second attempt at my noodle shop, making a Chinese mushroom fluid gel to go with it. I topped it with some Serrano ham and put a wonton wrapper on the side and called it the Perfect Egg. This time - everyone loved it.

Instant noodles

It always seemed like it was too gimmicky to play around with making your own instant noodles. But when I served it to friends, it was received vet well. Everyone liked squirting the liquid into their soup and watching it turn to noodles.

Here I used a mixture of hard tofu with water. I added a bit of Metil and voila- instant noodles before your eyes.

Beef tartare

I got hold of a nice piece of beef tenderloin and wanted to know if it worked as tartare. Sprinkled some organic shoots in top, drizzled some extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and my favourite lemon zest salt. It was good except it lacked some grated Parmesan.
