Amina Elshafei's Bulgogi Cups
This recipe offers a modern, interactive twist on Korean bulgogi. Featuring 300g of beef eye fillet marinated in a blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, and aromatics, the meat is seared and served in crisp gem lettuce cups. A julienned nashi pear topping and a spicy gochujang dressing create a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and heat, finished with shredded red shiso leaves.
Julie Goodwin's Cauliflower Soup with Burnt Butter Sauce
A comforting yet elegant soup from Australia's first MasterChef winner. The base is a velvety blend of cauliflower and full-cream milk, while the dish is elevated by a rich burnt butter sauce with crispy sage and lemon. Topped with golden speck batons and toasted pine nuts, this soup is a masterclass in texture and depth of flavour.
Laura Sharrad's Pork and Fennel Pie with Tomato Relish
This recipe delivers a hearty, flavour-packed pie perfect for any occasion. The filling combines 500g of pork mince with a sofrito of red onion, fennel, and fennel seeds, all cooked in extra-virgin olive oil. Encased in flaky puff pastry, the pies are served with a sweet and acidic tomato relish featuring brown sugar, red wine vinegar, and a hint of pepperoncini for a gentle kick.
Tommy Pham's Sweet Spicy Wings with Sticky Rice
For those who love bold Asian flavours, this dish is a must-try. Chicken wings are first steamed and then dried in the oven before being fried to a golden crisp. They are then tossed in a sticky, addictive sauce made with fish sauce, caster sugar, lemon juice, and bird's eye chillies. Served alongside fragrant glutinous sticky rice topped with fried shallots, it's a complete and satisfying meal.
