>special snowflake for interpreting ''This round will go until May 20th.'' as ''Ends on may 20th at midnight''
why am I even replying?

>>7691705
The way I see it, we're the 19th right now, tomorrow (20th) is included.

Bubbles, If I misinterpreted the way you said it, Seriously, please delay the closure for a day extra... I don't want any crap with votes to happen now and since this is the last round, there won't be any impact on future rounds.

So yeah, for what it's worth, I honestly believe the round ends tomorrow at midnight, not tonight. I really don't want this to fuck up the competition.

Working on it atm, I finished cooking about 15 minutes ago.

ayyyyy lmao still one entire day left, plenty of time to vote.

Here's my final submission:
Yakisoba stir fry!


I'm a really big fan of stir-fry because of the simplicity of the whole thing: chop up your ingredients, cook on high heat, add your sauce and done!
Still, despite it being simple, it's super tasty and yields great results everytime.

I went for the classic Japanese stir fry as it's one of my favorite. The sweet and savory sauce packs a punch of flavor and the crunch of the vegetables make for a pleasant texture change.
Finally, I topped the noodles with Aonori for that classic look and taste.

It seems I can't take pictures for shit so I added a non-blurry close-up of the dish.


Thanks a lot to Bubbles for organizing this, I had a lot of fun making things I wouldn't normally do and I learned a lot. Thanks to all the contestants as well, you did a fantastic job!

Cooking atm, post will be up in a few. Sorry for the delay.

I'll be posting mine on thurday evening... Week has been busy

oh fuck, the stakes are raised

will definitively try to not let you down

>>7632938
oh, yeah that is a good idea I didn't think about. Thanks

>>7632913
that's fair criticism, thanks.

I wanted to use something like pic related, but I simply don't have one...

here's a closeup

Here's my submission based on orange:

Spicy alfredo with sopressata and peppers.

I made a simple alfredo sauce, spiced up with paprika and a bit of saffron. The sopressata cubes were sauteed with the peppers and a bit of garlic.

The rich taste of the alfredo was still great, but the spiciness of the meat and paprika made it better in my opinion.
For the pasta, I used cheese filled red tortellini.

Lastly, I decided to go for a small pallet of very similar colors instead of a single one since it adds a lot of visual appeal while still staying within the challenge goals.

Sad to see you go, really... Good luck in your future endeavours!

Here's my submission for this week:

Kimchi Spring rolls

Fillings include: Homemade kimchi, carrots, cucumber, rice noodles and imitation crab.

The whole thing is quite crunchy and fresh, plus the kimchi gives a good punch of spiciness without getting out of hand.
I served the rolls with a simple dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and a bit of fish sauce.

As for the prep, no heat was used. Both the noodles and the rice wrappers were soaked in cold water until soft.

Other pics will follow.

just for you

>>7585468
I'm not contesting your rating, but can I ask why you didn't think my dish respected the challenge goals? What would it have taken to get a 5/5?
I'm interested in what I could have done better.

Shit, just noticed that these pictures aren't from the same burger... My gf didn't want tomatoes in hers.

If anyone requires proof that the second one was made by me, i'll go take a picture of one of the leftover patties.

Here's my submission for this round:

Greek stuffed hamburgers
The patties are stuffed with chopped red onions, kalamata olives, tomatoes and feta cheese. I served the burgers with homemade tzatziki and a greek salad.

The flavor of the filling really changed the taste of the beef for the better, it was a great meal for what is pretty much the first spring day of the year!

Proof of stuffing will follow

How do you guys feel about dumplings/ravioli?

I'm not entirely sure they fit in the theme since it's stuffed pasta, but at the same time, it doesn't ''feel'' like a stuffed dish...

Really sucks so see you go man, but I understand the struggle of engineering exams, I'm lucky to be in an internship right now, otherwise, I'd be in the same boat.

Good luck for your exams!

>>7561691
Meh, I don't think you look like an idiot. The whole point of this is to try new shit and get better at cooking.
So yeah, even if it didn't turn out fantastic, who cares really? Hopefully you're having fun in the end.
