    Fusion food at the highest level

    These smash tacos are the perfect embodiment of modern fusion cuisine. Soy chunks are seasoned with oriental spices and blended with chickpea flour to create a protein-rich mass, which is pressed onto tortillas and fried until crispy. The Korean sauces make this dish special: Spicy mayo with gochujang and a sweet and sour gochujang glaze with sesame provide bursts of flavor. Fermented kimchi and fresh cilantro round out this Korean-Mexico fusion. The secret lies in the 'smashing' process – the mixture is pressed firmly onto the tortillas and then fried until crispy. This creates a unique texture that harmonizes perfectly with the intense flavors. A 30-minute dish that pushes boundaries.
