The Olympic Motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger). The Summer Olympics start this weekend in Beijing, China. While some of the world’s greatest athletes will be gathering in the Beijing Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremonies, we will welcome some of the world’s greatest chefs into Kitchen Stadium. The theme this week is China. Of course, all of the battles this week feature a Chinese ingredient, a Chinese challenger, and/or Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi.
- Tofu (314) – Chen vs. Cho – the challenger is the owner of a Chinese restaurant that was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1995.
- Bok Choy (641) – Chen vs. Yaginuma – Instructor for famed Chinese restaurant Hei Chin Rou.
- Chinese Cabbage (712) – Chen vs. Cui – This challenger is a certified Culinary Craftsman in China.
We also would like to add two Iron Chef Chen videos to Beyond Kitchen Stadium.
- Chen Kenichi shows you how to make his signature dish Mapo Tofu.
- Chen Kenichi from a Japanese television show watching an actress attempt to create his signature dish.
Both of the BKS videos are in Japanese with no subtitles.
