Chef Steve Chooses McCormick
Chef and Co-Owner Steve Chu of Ekiben in Baltimore, Maryland knows that to serve guests the best food, he needs to use the best ingredients possible. That’s why he uses our McCormick Culinary Smoked Paprika Seasoning as a key ingredient in his most popular menu item, Duck Fat Garlic Chili Noodles. It offers high-quality flavor you can see, smell and taste.
Meet Chef Steve Chu
What started as an LTO, quickly turned into a permanent menu item for Ekiben. Chef Steve’s spin on this noodle dish uses duck fat and our Smoked Paprika to intensify the flavor. Tender homemade noodles are tossed with a flavorful combo of garlic, chili oil, ground pork, and robust herbs and spices. The result is a flavor bomb of a dish, with notes of sweetness, rich smokiness, and caramelization throughout.
