This is our smoke powder-infused egg cooked in the style of an onsen egg. It sits nestled in a bed of scrambled peas (a spontaneous result from yesterday’s class) and is surrounded by a draping of hot mozzarella. This dish brings together a number of ideas and tastes in a delicious combination while also acting as a springboard for spring dishes. Of course, after we started eating the dish, Aki suggested some crushed wasabi peas for a bit of texture and heat. Some days you have to taste the dish a few times before you can actually finish it.
