With an oriental touch

Xavier Matarrodona gets inspired by products and techniques Japanese people are crazy about.

No wonder oriental cuisine (Japanese, to be more precise) is so successful in our country. After all, the obsession about product quality and a healthy balance of the dishes are features that are common to the Japanese and Mediterranean cuisines. The Cullera de Boix chef, Xavier Matarrodona, demonstrates this with this tuna sprinkled with soy sauce and accompanied by subtly sauteed vegetables in the wok. This is the example of a recipe that seems less and less exotic in our country. We like to adopt the good things!
