Famed Hawaiian chef Alan Wong is renowned for his intriguing twists on traditional recipes. He serves this simple but uniquely flavored guacamole with taro chips. If you can't find them, substitute shrimp chips or blue or yellow tortilla chips for a great beginning to an informal Asian-inspired dinner. If available, use Hass avocados, which have a fuller flavor than other types.
