Cooking tips

  • For the green chili in the salsa, remove all seeds thoroughly to prevent excessive spiciness.
  • Use purple onion for raw applications—it has less sharpness, more sweetness, and better crunch, enhancing the dish’s overall quality.
  • To maximize the crispy texture of the quesadilla, cook the beef over high heat like frying, ensuring all moisture is driven off.
  • Adding a splash of beer while cooking the beef is Chef Sung Anh’s unique twist inspired by Mexican taco truck vibes—adding a subtle barley aroma and rich umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a balanced, nutritious alternative to traditional greasy, heavy quesadillas.
  • Food lovers eager to experience Chef Sung Anh’s refined touch and the unique harmony of kimchi salsa.
  • Individuals managing their diet who want to enjoy a satisfying meal using brown rice and beef instead of chicken breast.
