Three steps, one plate, three judges.
Cook.
Pick three to five of today’s nine ingredients and a technique: braise, sear, grill or steam. Proven pairs like pork + gochujang earn pairing points. Then choose the cut, the sauce, up to two garnishes and how to plate it.
Survive the twist.Twist
Mo drops a surprise into every basket (today it’s kimchi). Use it for +3. On the clock, the twist pauses time for three seconds.
Pour.
Wine, beer & cider or zero-proof. The best match earns +4, a good one +2, a risky one 0. On the clock it’s your call; ask Mo and the best pour is capped at +2.
The judges.
Ines, Dev and Mo score your plate out of 100 against Kofi’s, with every point explained. Win and keep the recipe.
The two-minute challenge
Kofi cooks live beside you; the judges react to every move; “One minute, chefs!” and “Thirty seconds!” are called out; the gold line at the top of the screen turns red for the last 20 seconds.
