Notes from Diego Oka, Executive Chef at Mandarin Oriental, Miami:
“We created umami with the Organic English Breakfast tea as foam, then formed ‘earth’ and ‘dirt’ with Mexican blue corn tortilla. Add in blue crab and a salad of fava beans and piquillo peppers. Then dress it all in Peruvian Aji Amarillo sauce— bold.” -Diego Oka, Executive Chef at Mandarin Oriental, Miami
