“Saffron Road understands the desire for authentic world cuisine that captures cultural tastes and encourages culinary exploration,” says Adnan Durrani, founder and CEO of Saffron Road. “Our new Korean products will excite taste buds and fulfil Americans’ appetite for high-quality food they can trust and feel good about.”
The frozen meals, including Beef Bulgogi, Bibimbop with Beef, Gochujang Chicken and Bibimbop with Tofu, are influenced by traditional Korean recipes. Two dishes use pasture-raised beef with no artificial hormones. The third dish uses vegetarian-fed and humanely-raised chicken, and the fourth – a vegan option – uses organic tofu.
“Saffron Road’s new Korean-style products are American cuisine at its best – each dish forges together diverse international flavours, spices and sauces from different corners of the globe to make something truly memorable and uniquely American,” says Jack Acree, executive vice president of Saffron Road.
The frozen tacos include a Korean-style chicken taco and a Korean tofu taco.
