All right, here's my entry, and my colour was 'earth tones'.

My dish is a steak-style hong shao rou. I marinaded pork shoulder steak in hong shao sauce, then pan-fried the steak and reduced the sauce to use as a glaze and finished it with chilli oil (chilli flakes heated in sunflower oil). The tudousi are stir-fried julienned potatoes with soy sauce and vinegar. The tomato 'cup' is a peeled tomato that I cored and soaked in black rice vinegar overnight, and the hard-boiled egg was halved and soaked in soy sauce. And then I just added a little black wood ear that I happened to have which was cooked with chicken stock.
