Fort Collins, CO
The Round Trip created by Jimmy Ellis
Meat: Pork, Beef, Chicken, Spicy Sausage
Noodles: Chinese Noodles
Veggies: Broccoli, Mushrooms, Tofu, Bean Sprouts, Potatoes, one black bean
Sauces: 2 ladles Samurai Teriyaki, 2 ladles Black Thai Peanut, 5 ladles Kung Pao... Yow, 1 ladle lemon juice, 2 ladles hot chili oil (scrape the bottom to get the bits of red pepper)
Secret weapon: Only use one bowl. The key is to put the noodles in after the meat, veggies, and sauce, to maximize the amount of food you can have in the bowl and avoid excess displacement of the sauce (no overflowing).
The most important aspect of this whole process is the one black bean.
You add this one black bean not for flavor or taste, but to see if the black bean can survive the fire and cooking process. Once back at the table you check to see if your bean made the "round trip" and if it survived the battle on the grill. You can either use a new bean for each trip, or take your bean back up to see if it can survive again.
Delicious!
