Using a deep, central soup bowl to create layered height through stacking, the dish plays with varying shades of red from the ingredients to add depth and interest. Finally, a mint leaf is placed as the finishing touch, drawing the eye and highlighting the overall focus, while the colors enhance the delicious appeal of the ingredients.
Ingredients: lobster, tomato, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, olive oil, etc.
Method: Blend the tomato, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, and olive oil into a liquid using a blender, then strain the mixture to extract the soup. Dice the tomatoes and peel the boiled lobster, setting them aside for plating.
Scene 1: Layered Gradients of Color and Composition
Plating Method
①Place a round mold in the center of the soup plate. Fill it with diced tomatoes to the desired height, then carefully remove the mold.
②Use tongs to place a peeled prawn on top of the tomato tower. Lay another prawn on top, overlapping in the same direction.
③Garnish the top with a fresh mint leaf to add a pop of color.
④Finally, gently pour the chilled soup around the tomato tower, filling it halfway up the height of the tomatoes, so some remain above the surface like a small island. Drizzle a circle of olive oil on the soup for the finishing touch.
Plating Tip: When packing the diced tomatoes into the mold, press them down gently with a spoon to ensure they stay in place and don't scatter when placing the prawns or pouring the soup.
Scene 2: Shrimp Surrounding with a Floral Motif
Choose a larger soup bowl to allow for more creative arrangement. Position three prawns side by side, floating on the soup's surface, resembling a freshly blossomed flower—vibrant and delicate.
Plating Method
①Use a spoon to scoop a portion of diced tomatoes, stacking them in the center of the soup bowl to form a small mound.
②Slowly pour the strained cold soup around the edge of the bowl, filling it up to halfway up the mound of tomatoes.
③Arrange three shelled prawns with their inner sides facing the center, allowing them to partially emerge from the soup, creating a blooming flower-like presentation.
④Finally, place a few croutons and some parsley on top of the diced tomatoes, and drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the soup to enhance its sheen.
Plating Tip: Freshly made cold soup may have some foam. Gently swirl the bowl while pouring the soup to minimize the amount of foam entering the bowl.
