My mental V said one week would not be enough to master this cuisine.

I know about to find out if she was right.

I'm in Hanoi to cook dinner for V on other top tutors I've met this week.

Mr Rice.

How I said Oh, yeah.

How you doing?

Yeah, well, thank you.

This place looks amazing.

Let me show you around here, please.

It's beautiful.

Mrs Ducks friend Mr Rice has given me the use of his fine dining restaurant.

A success is built on authentic Vietnamese cooking.

And so it's a great honor.

The rest is beautiful.

Thank you.

Who designed it?

I designed myself a good job.

Worryingly for me, Mr Wright has invited along 30 discerning diners.

You got a huge, huge challenge.

And you know, tonight so many people here just waiting for your cooking.

And I say about 67 people.

Very tough, really.

In three hours, the rest room will be full on a need to quickly get used to these unfamiliar surroundings.

Well, this is the kitchen.

Yes, Everything here tonight.

Yours?

Yeah.

Gas burners and well, um, complete.

Different layout off kitchen.

Not like working with a gas ring burner.

A lot more instance.

So on the fly yet again you tonight my menu will be drawn on everything I've learned.

I'm cooking pig seven ways.

So starting with pork and shrimp, Fresh spring roll way served at room temperature Pig's ear.

Sell it.

Blanched in a nice sort of spicy broth BBQ pork skewer on his drilled over charcoal.

Then we're gonna go to the sweet and sour pork ribs.

Okay, after them, you got a picture of a curry after that caramelized pork belly finished with fish source half that pork noodle broth.

Let's get my nose to tail.

Menu is a tall order.

I start with barbecue pork skewers inspired by Mrs Duck the shoulder of pork sliced thinly, marinate it and then cooked on charcoal.

That doesn't look anywhere near like Mrs Ducks.

Times like this.

I wish you'd just give me the recipe properly.

I think it secretly because she had a massive crush on me and she had visions of her.

And I set up a Russian together next time I pick feast a curry that I hope will satisfy the Vietnamese appetite for texture.

Normally, we're used trotters at home in the UK We boned them out and stuff them.

But these are cooked on the bone on very gelatinous.

Nice first uber garlic, ginger fish source A little bit of fermented rice wine vinegar almost like a sort of like spicy curry.

The pressure is on on already.

I've made my first mistake.

So this is my broth.

Remember my singing your deal down the river?

I'm just struggling for that nice sort of lightly sort of pinkish color.

I'm beginning to wish I kept things simple, said our fucking for the things that take fucking out downstairs.

Hanoi's most accomplished foodies have arrived along with my mentors, Mrs Duck on Madame V all here to pass judgment on my efforts challenging because something completely new very different to what you have a home bees Premonition is coming true.

At last dinner is served.

This has been one of the toughest nights of my cooking career.

Hi.

I think what I want to say is very brave.

That was a nightmare.

Struggled across the whole three hours.

I'd like to think I don't it justice, but I let myself a bit short.

But my ordeal isn't over yet.

I need to face my mentors to find out if I've impressed them.

How will you recognize you without a hat on a pig?

I'm a fan of that way.

So crunchy, crispy, soft and silky smooth pig Trotter is perfect pictures.

The most difficult MIT to cook.

So it's really, really impressive what you have done with that.

I think it's a very different to do it.

I think that I can eat it with no problem.

Madam, Don't look.

Finally, I want to know what?

The doyen of nose to tell cooking things of my efforts.

My goodness, what happened?

It's amazing.

Wait there, please.

It's like the best the realm Solder on, secure on the chuckle.

If it wasn't for you, this shoulder wouldn't have tasted as good as it did.

Trust me.

I'm so glad that you like that one.

You see, Mr Rice has always serve in Amish people is very hard to place so But tonight, Gordon, I think it does.

Well, it passes for me.

One of most thrilling seven days I've ever spent in my cooking career.

Honestly, if you want to eat well, give her your fridge.

It forces you to buy ingredients twice a day and cook in a completely different way.

Challenging week.

Yet for me, one of the most inspirational country.

Truly soft and silky right.
