Don't attempt to floss with pork floss
Chinese meals that are coursed always begin with an array of cold dishes. Depending on the restaurant, cold dishes might be free. This century egg with tofu dish | 凉拌皮蛋豆腐 is one such dish, and it's also easily the fobbiest recipe I've posted.
For one thing, it contains an ingredient that was actually on Fear Factor—the century egg. It's made through a curing process that involves caking the egg in clay, ammonia, salt, and other ingredients for weeks. The egg becomes something that, to me, is the equivalent of a stinky cheese. When you first put it in your mouth you might think it's repulsive, but the more you chew the more delicious it becomes. Disclaimer: This might not be the case for everyone.
The second ingredient is something I actually had to google the English word for and was disturbed to discover that it's "pork floss". I have vivid memories of having pork floss in my dorm room in undergrad, which caused much to-do and was dubbed "furry pork" by my suitemates. Neither name sounds appetizing, but I can assure you that pork floss is like the cotton candy of meat...that is to say, delicious (duh).
The rest of the ingredients shouldn't raise any eyebrows—just some green onions, cilantro, and garlic all neatly prepped and chopped.
Mix those together with all the wet ingredients and you've got the sauce done easy peasy.
The final step is just assembling the ingredients and eating your masterpiece all by yourself, because White Boyfriend wouldn't touch this dish with a ten-foot pole. It's also good practice in case they revive Fear Factor again.
