Tips
In case you do not have some of the ingredients mentioned above, here are some suggestions for substitutions. If you don't have matcha powder, you can use green tea powder instead to attain a similar flavor profile. Instead of blood orange reduction, you can use a citrus syrup or even a raspberry puree for a fruity and tangy element. Caramelized pineapple can be replaced with roasted or grilled peaches or even sliced mangoes for a tropical twist. If nougatine is not available, crushed pistachios or almond brittle can be a great substitute for that delightful crunch. And if edible flower petals are not accessible, garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of powdered sugar will still add a touch of elegance to the dish.
