XO Soused - The (r)evolution in Chinese desserts
Manage episode 298418066 series 2939988
Why should dessert go at the end? Why have western and westernised restaurants embraced this structure of cooking and eating, while in some Asian cuisines, sweet and savoury dishes are served together? More importantly, why do western professional kitchens barely use sugars in their savoury dishes? Meanwhile chefs cooking some Asian foods use sugars - cane sugar, beet sugar, honey, and maltose - in equal quantities as savoury ingredients for taste, colour, viscosity, and depth and balance of flavour.
So where does that leave Chinese desserts? What are their levels of sweetness and creaminess? How does Andrew create desserts for A.Wong that navigate these Chinese norms and the expectations of his Chinese and non-Chinese diners?
A video and accompanying recipe for Dragon’s beard candy: https://www.tastemade.com/videos/dragons-beard/

Intro and outro music: 遊子 [wanderer] by mafmadmaf.com
