"I'm a person who participates in cooking competitions, not as a hobby."

These days, cooking at home is so popular that I think I need to introduce myself to this extent to get some interest.

The cooking competition I participated in this time is a beekeeping cooking competition. It is a cooking competition that uses beekeeping products such as honey, propolis, pollen, and even bee larvae.

The dish I developed is Danghoru Soup. It is not [Tanghoru], but [Danghoru] soup made with carrots, pumpkin, and rhubarb.

The pumpkin is pre-processed by baking it in the oven, and then half of it is cut into carrots, onions, and rhubarb and stir-fried together.

Rhubarb is an unfamiliar ingredient in Korea. It is red in color, but the shape of the cut stem looks similar to celery.

It has a very strong sour taste, but when mixed with something sweet, it becomes sweet and sour.

Usually, sugar is used to make compote or jams and used in high-end desserts, but this time, I used it as an ingredient in a soup with honey.

Once it is slightly fried, add a little butter and fry a little more, then pour in white wine and deglaze.

Then pour in vegetable stock and boil until softly cooked.

Make avocado oil by blending avocado and cooking oil in a blender, then add crushed herb called [sage] and steep in cold water.

I think the soup is lacking in green, so I'm thinking of sprinkling some sage oil at the end to add some herbal flavor and a hint of color.

Honey pickled pears and miljeonri, which are used very well in every cooking competition.

In my heart, the number one Joseon scholar is not Jeong Yak-yong, but Seo Yu-gu, the famous scholar of Pungseok.

In addition to the wheat pancakes, you can also make glazed carrots by frying thinly sliced carrots in butter, lemon juice, and honey.

Then, cut them into flower shapes to complete the garnish.

Put the remaining half of the pumpkin in the soup and turn it in a food mill, mix it with honey and apple juice, and fry it in a pan to make pumpkin puree.

Mix cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and salt to make cheese mousse. This will make it not only sweet and sour, but also salty.

Put it in a piping bag and pipe it into shapes.

Drizzle with [sage] oil, add garnish, and finally sprinkle with [bee pollen].

Put the boiled soup ingredients in a blender and grind them finely, then pass them through a sieve.

Boil this again and season with honey, salt, pepper, butter, and lemon juice.

Pour it over the plated ingredients and you're done.

And the day of the long-awaited cooking competition. Up until last year, the competition was held in Seoul, but this year, it was held in Daejeon, so I had to drive through a snowstorm from the morning and barely make it there.

The team name is [Mildang Masters]

Since the seven judges couldn't take turns eating from one bowl of soup, they brought small bowls to make seven portions in bite sizes and submitted them on a separate plate for plating.

Still, I won a prize

The funny thing is, since it's a beekeeping cooking competition, they give out honey instead of money.
