6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Cooking demonstration and tasting dinner at the Mexican Cultural Institute.
Asian demographic influence has a long and storied past in Mexico: Filipinos came through the Pacific trade on huge Galleons, Chinese communities worked to build Mexican railroads, and Japanese settlers found work on coffee plantations. Mexico’s culinary heritage is no stranger to this influence—dishes have benefited from their steaming, drying and salting techniques, as well as the spices. Join me as I explore the heritage of Asian cuisine in Mexico through dishes like Dried Shrimp Soup, Green Beans with Salted Peanuts and Chile de Arbol, Mexican-style Mongolian Beef, Spicy Tofu, and Sticky Rice Playero.

While much has been made of Mexico’s influence on American cuisine, this session aims to take a creative look at its converse. Sampling iconic dishes that represent the evolution and diversity of Mexican cooking in the US (Tex-Mex combo platter, anyone?), I cross the country for the best in Mex-American cuisine, from Los Angeles Taco Truck Style Tacos Acorazados to Modern Mexican dishes a la New York.
