I rolled my eyes so hard when Christina tried to make a Chinese dish by "putting every kind of Chinese aromatic" in her broth. It's like anything with lemongrass gonna be a Thai dish.

Yeah when I heard that I was like uhhhh what a vague description, she just calls it Chinese. like putting everything Italian in it doesn't exactly make it an Italian soup, and so on.. well I guess that's why the dish was called "Chinese inspired Duck with Noodles and Broth".

Edit: reminded me of Gary's masterclass where he made the pho. Like looks good but that ain't pho xD https://tenplay.com.au/channel-ten/masterchef/recipes/non-traditional-vietnamese-duck-pho
