Method
- To make the filling: mix ground pork, Kikkoman Hoisin sauce, Kikkoman Soy Sauce, ginger, garlic, green onion and cilantro until combined. Refrigerate
- To make the Hoisin Mayo: whisk mayonnaise and ½ cup hoisin until combined and transfer to squeeze bottle.
- Cook off the scallion pancakes on a griddle over medium low heat, flipping several times until golden and crispy.
- Gently smash 1 portion of pork filling in a thin even layer across 1 side of the pancake covering as much as possible. Cook on a griddle on medium heat for approx. 4 minutes until pork is cooked throughout.
- Toss cucumber and carrot with chili crisp.
- Drizzle Hoisin mayo onto cooked smash taco and top with chili crisp seasoned veggies.
Variation: Shrimp of beef can but substituted for the pork.
Note: Viral internet trends are very appealing to Gen Z but aren’t always applicable in foodservice, however this recipe takes the viral smash burger taco to a whole new level. I’ve taken the filling for a pork dumpling and used a scallion pancake as the vessel for this mash up of an East meets West handheld delight that is put over the top with Hoisin mayo and chili crisp seasoned veggies!
