Considering that this dish comes with some sauce, the chef chose to use a round soup plate. The sauce gathers at the bottom, making it easy to dip while eating. The plating focuses the ingredients in the center, creating a strong contrast with the wide empty space around the edge, which echoes the decorative patterns on the rim. The ingredients are arranged with alternating textures, reflecting the dish's diverse mouthfeel—allowing you to enjoy both tenderness and crispness. This interplay of contrasting yet closely aligned textures is where the charm of this dish lies.
Ingredients: King oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, chicken, chicken broth, onions, butter, lecithin, etc.
Preparation: Soak the boneless chicken, king oyster mushrooms, and mushrooms in chicken broth and braise for four hours. Once the flavors are absorbed, place the chicken broth on an iron plate and lightly sear. Sauté the mushrooms and onions until softened, then add vegetable broth. Heat for 10 minutes, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for an hour. Strain the mixture, then add butter and lecithin. Heat to 80°C, cool, and use a blender to create a mushroom foam.
Scene 1: Geometric layers that echo the texture of the ingredients
Plating method
①Arrange the seared chicken pieces in the center of a soup plate, forming them into a star shape.
②Place mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms in the gaps between the star-shaped chicken.
③Pour the simmered chicken broth sauce over the arrangement, then add crispy toasted bread slices to enhance the height and texture variation on the plate.
④Finally, add a mushroom foam and some arugula to elevate the taste and visual complexity.
Scene 2: Contrasting Impressions in Elegant Tableware
In the second plating design, the chef chose an egg-shaped soup bowl with an irregular, jagged edge, giving the dish a unique and elegant look. Although the plate is large, the chef deliberately concentrated the placement of ingredients, leaving a significant amount of empty space to create a pure yet striking impression.
Plating Method
①Arrange the chicken in two staggered rows on an oval-shaped soup plate, positioning them toward the rear, leaving more space at the other end.
②Fill the gaps between the chicken with mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms, alternating between the two types to create a balanced pattern.
③Stand thin slices of bread upright in the spaces between the chicken and mushrooms. Drizzle chicken jus over the dish, gradually adding more wine, but be careful not to overwhelm the flavors by adding too much at once. You can increase the amount gradually if needed.
④Finally, garnish with mushroom foam and sprinkle a bit of paprika on top to add color variation. Add a few sesame leaves, and the plating is complete!
