Result of Singapore Qualifying Tournament

Singapore Qualifying Tournament was held on 1th October 2019 at SHATEC and 9 chefs competed for their technical expertise and passion for Japanese food.

The first section was cooking technique (basic knife skills) test for 15 minutes.

From one 10cm long daikon radish, contestants had to make Daikon katsura muki (30cm-long peel with no breaks), Daikon ken (for roughly five people).

The second section was cooking their original recipe for 100 minutes. Using scallops and three or more out of the five designated additional ingredients provided by the contest organizing committee (pumpkin, carrots, green beans, daikon and spinach), prepare a dish for four people, utilizing one of the five ways of Japanese cooking (cutting, simmering, grilling, steaming, and deep-frying).
