Smashed Dumpling Tacos
Smashed tacos are a recent trend that combines elements of both smash burgers and traditional tacos. These Smashed Dumpling Tacos are a fun and creative twist on the classic dumpling. They're made by taking the filling of a dumpling and pressing it into a tortilla, then frying it until crispy. Most recipes use ground pork, but I opted for the healthy option and used ground turkey. These are so good!

Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang
If three chefs, one Korean, one Japanese, and one Italian walked into a kitchen (bar)... This Stir-Fried Udon With Bacon, Parmesan & Gochujang is sort of a carbonara using Asian ingredients. I know it sounds a bit odd, but it totally works. The key to making this is to have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go because this dish is very quick to make. You should use frozen Japanese udon, which has a completely different texture than the dried version.
