Eagle Spreading Its Wings

Eagle Spreading Its Wings

　　　　Form the eagle base using strips of skinless goose breast meat, arranged on the bottom of the plate. Use narrow, long slices of skin-on goose breast meat to construct the eagle’s tail feathers. Slice pork liver, ham, and yellow cake into large, medium, and small willow-leaf shapes, arranging them in layers. Cut long strips of goose skin with a comb-like pattern and use them to edge and form the body feathers and wings. Trim shiitake mushrooms into the shape of the head and neck feathers, and carve white cake into eyebrows and eyes. Shape the goose legs into eagle legs and the yellow cake into claws. At this point, the eagle is fully assembled. Then, stack sliced nori rolls under the eagle to form a mountain shape.
