Recipe: Asian-style Nachos

Nachos are a great snack for sharing and can be made in under 30 minutes. This weekend, we made  nachos with an Asian twist - for the topping, we used minced pork cooked with kicap manis and light soy sauce. The results - a delicious, sweet and savoury pork topping.

The store-bought tortilla chips are then topped with generous amounts of mozzarella cheese, and placed under a hot grill to melt. Then they are topped with mashed avocado, sour cream and chopped tomatoes, as well as pickled green chillies and pork. An amazing combination of flavours and textures.

Asian-style Nachos
Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 3-4 as snack


Ingredients
1 pack (170g) tortilla chips
150g minced pork (or chicken)

1 tbsp cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp kicap manis
1 tsp light soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Salt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 ripe avocado
4-5 cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 tbsp pickled green chilies (or jalapenos)
150g shredded mozzarella

100 - 150g sour cream


1. Cut the avocado into half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Roughly mash the flesh with a fork, add olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

2. In a wok or frying pan, heat the cooking oil. Add the garlic and saute for 1 1/2 minutes, until lightly golden. Add the minced pork and break up using your spatula. Brown all sides, then add water, kicap manis and soy sauce and simmer for about 4-5 minutes, until the mixture is dry. Season with black pepper and scoop into a bowl, leaving any sauce behind. 

3. Arrange tortilla chips in a tray and sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese. Place it under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes, until cheese has melted. Alternatively, you may use a blowtorch to melt the cheese.

4. To assemble, spoon pork, mashed avocado and sour cream over tortilla chips. Scatter chopped tomatoes and pickled chilli all over and serve immediately.
