How to make black bean sauce

Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix well with a whisk.

How to cook sunchokes,

Wash and dry the sunchokes. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Then take 1/3 of the black bean sauce and spoon over the sunchokes. Place in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes, moving them around the pan in the sauce periodically during the cooking process. Take and let them cool slightly. You can remove any crusty fragments that might have formed on the bottom of the sunchokes, but don't remove the crust completely.

For the guacamole,

Place all in a bowl and mix with a whisk until somewhat smooth. I like to have chunks of avocado in my guacamole and not a smooth puree. Season with salt and set aside.

To Finish,

Dip each one of the sunchokes in the leftover bean sauce and place back on the sheet pan. Place the sunchokes back in the oven for about 10 minutes. Take out and place one more tiny spoonful of sauce on each one. Then add a little bean sauce to the plate. Spoon a few spoonfuls of guacamole onto the plate. Add a sunchoke on top of each one. Add the orange supremes along with radish slices. Finish with cilantro and korean chili. Serve and enjoy!
