亞洲料理競賽節目《廚神當道 亞洲版》強勢回歸!集結各地頂尖廚師,在一道道高壓挑戰中爭奪冠軍。評審陣容包括曾參與《黑白大廚》的美籍韓裔名廚艾德華李、泰國名廚「Pam」Pichaya S. 與主廚 Kelvin Cheung,3人接受訪問時分享評審參賽者的標準,直言除了味道與技巧,能否透過料理展現個人特色,更是決定勝負的關鍵。
談到評審時最重視的條件,艾德華李表示,味覺、技巧、風味與文化傳承都是基本要求,參賽者還必須具備說出自身故事的能力,「隨著賽程推進,他們必須展現出更多創新、創意與個人特色,才能脫穎而出。」皮查雅則認為,除了料理的味道與文化影響,也要看選手如何面對不同挑戰,在符合比賽標準的同時,仍能端出具有原創性的作品。
Kelvin Cheung指出,由於不少參賽者過去已經在《廚神當道》的廚房累積經驗,因此這次的標準自然更高,「基本的錯誤是無法被接受的」,真正能拉開差距的,是料理中的細節,以及選手能否展現出冠軍級的水準。
3位主廚也分享拍攝期間最難忘的時刻,艾德華李表示,參賽者的才華不斷帶給評審驚喜,每天都能接觸到過去從未品嘗過的風味;皮查雅則最難忘選手們各自不同的故事與背景;Kelvin Cheung則認為,看著參賽者隨著賽程一路成長,是相當難得的經驗,也期待看見他們最後能走到哪一步。
至於「好料理」與「致勝料理」的差別,艾德華李認為關鍵仍在味蕾,「這道料理必須讓我的味蕾感到驚喜,並讓我想一吃再吃。」皮查雅則強調料理的完整執行,從風味、口感到技巧都不能出現短板;Kelvin Cheung則認為,料理從第一口開始就應該帶來驚喜,同時展現出色且鮮明的風味。
面對亞洲豐富多元的飲食文化,3人也認為參賽者不能只停留在自己最熟悉的領域。艾德華李表示,評審必須保持開放與客觀,即使遇到過去從未品嘗過的料理,最後仍要回到風味平衡。皮查雅認為傳統風味固然重要,但創新與創意同樣不可或缺;Kelvin Cheung則提醒,既然是《廚神當道 亞洲版》,參賽者想要獲勝,就必須踏出舒適圈,勇於挑戰自己不熟悉的事物。
談到亞洲餐飲近10年的變化,艾德華李認為,現在正是讓世界看見亞洲飲食深度與多樣性的時刻,不只經典料理值得關注,每道菜背後的故事也同樣重要。皮查雅則觀察到,愈來愈多廚師重新運用發酵等流傳已久的傳統技法;Kelvin Cheung也很高興看到亞洲料理受到更多重視,從技巧、風味到製作工藝,都展現出豐富可能性。
對於如何在高壓賽事中脫穎而出,艾德華李認為最重要的是「個人特色」,因為按照食譜做出一道好吃的料理並不困難,真正困難的是創作出能夠反映自身特色的作品。皮查雅則認為,選手在挑戰中的活力與態度同樣重要;Kelvin Cheung則看重毅力、韌性,以及面對錯誤時隨機應變的能力,「最重要的是,他們要有自信和熱情。」
3位主廚也期待觀眾能透過節目重新認識亞洲料理。艾德華李希望大家因此對整個亞洲料理產生興趣,也能看見廚師圍裙背後的個性;皮查雅認為節目除了帶來刺激,也融合食譜、故事、文化與傳統;Kelvin Cheung則希望觀眾看見亞洲料理真正令人驚嘆的多樣性。
面對想踏入廚房的新進廚師,艾德華李建議「不斷試吃自己的料理」;皮查雅則認為有時候「簡單反而更好」,先把料理確實做好,再專注於風味;Kelvin Cheung則鼓勵後輩用心烹飪,相信自己的直覺。
