UFS is proud to be working together with restaurants to raise awareness of their new dishes. This is especially so with the Zhi Char restaurants who have recently gone into creating innovative dishes for their diners without compromising on flavour and flair. It’s through UFS, fast-paced chefs are given an avenue to be creative and the ability to come up with new and exciting dishes that would get diners come back for more. On top of the usual seasonings/ bouillons/ stock bases that are currently used in zhi char kitchens for Chinese cuisines, i.e. Knorr Concentrated Chicken/ Scallop Bouillon and Knorr Chicken Seasoning Powder, UFS also sells to these restaurants notably Knorr Mashed Potato.

Dried Oyster stuffed in Prawn Roll/黄金蚝事 (Available in set menu)

The traditional prawn roll, or more familiarly known as ‘hae-cho’, has been recreated to have mixed in dried oysters into the roll’s filling – and then coated with mashed potato flakes like how chefs usually coat cereals when preparing Cereal Prawns. The Knorr Mashed Potato mentioned earlier, is prepared from fresh potatoes and then dehydrated. Instead of adding liquids and seasoning to make it the Western Mashed Potato, Ming Kitchen stir-fried it and added spices to create a coating to wrap the 黄金蚝事. It is distinctly different from fried cereal or oatmeal and is discernible from its texture which is smooth and also has that melt-in-your-mouth sensation.

Chef Desmond has skilfully transformed the base stock of this traditional dish by using UFS’s chicken and scallop stock for a time-efficient prepared dish.
