Gastronomy knows no borders: in this recipe, the sweet and savoury world of Japanese teriyaki chicken meets the practical form of the Mexican taco. This dish is a celebration of 'umami', the fifth taste: the depth of soy sauce, the character of seared meat and the freshness of pickled vegetables are in perfect balance. A modern, cosmopolitan dish proving that different cultures not only coexist but strengthen each other.

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut the carrot and cucumber into matchstick-thin strips. Mix the rice vinegar with the sugar, then toss in the vegetables. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Tip: This quick pickling softens the vegetables and provides an acidic contrast to the sweet and savoury meat.
2 ✓

Mix the mayonnaise with the Sriracha sauce. This will be the 'spicy mayo', adding creaminess to the dish.

Tip: The fat (mayonnaise) helps mute and distribute the capsaicin in the chilli pepper, making the taste experience more harmonious.
3 ✓

Cut the chicken into bite-sized strips. In a hot frying pan with a little oil, fry until whitened, then pour over the teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat.

Tip: The sugar in the sauce caramelises under heat, forming a glazed coating on the meat.
4 ✓

Warm through the tortillas. Fill with the sticky meat, top with drained pickled vegetables, drizzle with spicy mayo, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tip: The sesame seeds release their oils best when toasted, adding a nutty aroma to the dish.

Recipe FAQ

The meat turned out too salty, what should I do?
Teriyaki sauce can be concentrated. Add a little water or lime juice, and don't salt the meat separately before frying.
What tortilla should I use?
More neutral wheat tortillas suit Asian flavours better, but it works with corn too.
