I came across this dish during a random cooking competition. I was not participating, just tasting. One team made this undercooked-looking mess, but it was delicious. I tracked them down and they said, “We made it up this morning.” I tried to copy it based on what I remembered.

I failed twice but then I nailed it. It is now something I make for fun—like a dare to myself to break rules and still make something amazing.
