The ultimate fun fusion dinner, we’ve taken viral smash tacos and given them an aromatic twist with ginger, chilli and soy.
Ingredients
- 500g/1lb 2oz pork mince
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 15g/½oz fresh coriander, stalks finely sliced and leaves reserved
- 10g/⅓oz piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 12 small soft flour tortillas
- 4 tbsp sesame oil
To serve
- ½ cucumber, finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- chilli oil
- 2 tbsp crispy onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Method
Place the pork mince in a bowl with the garlic granules, coriander stalks, ginger, soy, fish sauce and rice wine vinegar. Use clean hands to knead all the ingredients together until well combined.
Divide the pork mixture into 12 equal portions and place one portion on top of each tortilla. Use the back of a spoon to spread the pork mixture to the edge of the tacos and heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat ready for frying.
Take a taco and place meat-side down in the hot oil and fry for 3–4 minutes until browned. Carefully flip the taco using a spatula and fry for a further 2 minutes to toast on the reverse. Cook the rest of the tacos in batches and add the remaining oil as needed. Place the cooked tacos in a very low oven to keep warm.
When ready to serve, place the tacos on a platter and sprinkle with the reserved coriander leaves. Serve the cucumber, spring onion, chilli oil, crispy onions and sesame seeds in bowls to top your tacos as desired.
