Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Soup
Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Soup with Lobster, Scallion Purée, Yuzu & Coconut Milk Broth and Rice
Si: "I am doing a Vietnamese soup. It's traditionally made with catfish or shrimp, but today I'm going to elevate it a little bit, bring the millennial side to it, and just get some lobster in there. You know, cook it lightly, and let the lobster be sweet and have the proper texture."
Judge: "Does this dish come from a memory?"
Si: "Absolutely. I was eating a delicious soup that my dad made in San Jose, California, after we immigrated here. I'm going to bring all those childhood memories into this dish and hopefully bring it home for the millennials."
Judges, talking behind the scenes
"Si's going ahead and making this Vietnamese soup. It has lobster. The broth has a lot of potential. The rest of the dish maybe seems a little ambitious, and I hope he's not overcooking that lobster."

MasterChef ™ is an amateur American cooking reality television series derived from the British series of the same name. It features amateur and home cooks competing to win the title of 'MasterChef ™'.
Viewers typically see the final rounds of the selection process, and then watch 20 finalists cook off against each other over 15 - 20 episodes which include mystery box challenges, pressure tests, team events and elimination games. There is a final round, usually with the last three cooks creating an inspired three course meal.
At the time of writing, the judges are Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich, and Aarón Sánchez.
