'Wok 'e press', the panzerotto filled with rice noodles that unites Naples and China

It's called “Wok 'e press” and it brings together Italian and Chinese cuisine. It's a panzerotto filled with rice noodles. The 'Italian-Chinese' product is a fusion of the two cuisines, chosen as emblems of opposite poles of taste that come together. Thus, at the table, distances are eliminated and borders are overcome, say the promoters of the gastronomic initiative. The initiative signed by Coca-Cola and chef Simone Rugiati was born from the idea of ​​rediscovering the taste of a world without borders. The event "A tavola senza confini" stops in Naples, today and tomorrow (Friday from 21 pm to midnight and Saturday from 19 pm to midnight) with a temporary restaurant, in via Giulio Cesare Cortese, where there is a typical Neapolitan trattoria and a Chinese restaurant, where the public can discover the taste of "a world without borders" by tasting the Wok 'e Press. Led by Simone Rugiati, a chef with a passion for travel and exotic flavors, the chefs of two restaurants, one Chinese and one Italian, in the city of Naples worked together to create an original dish: the Wok 'e Press. It was Rugiati who introduced the two chefs to the public: Lino and Mai. "Cooking often blends different cultures and in this case the mediation gave birth to a dish with an oriental heart and a Neapolitan coating," says Rugiati. "In front of the stove, what matters is the passion for food and the desire to meet each other, so differences become creative ingredients." The Wok 'e Press thus becomes a tool to eliminate distances and help people create relationships, because, as the organizers say, "there is nothing that unites more than eating together. A theme shared by Coca-Cola through the campaign "Let's find the taste of a world without borders," currently underway online and offline. “Coca-Cola has always brought people together and with this campaign we want to invite everyone to rediscover the taste of a world without borders,” commented Giuliana Mantovano, Marketing Director Coca-Cola Italy. “So we decided to try to really break down these borders and demonstrate that a simple ritual, like eating together, is able to reconcile tastes and cultural differences.”
