Qh3, white cannot do anything there, then Qg2 would be checkmate

Qh3 was the first thing I thought of, threatening mate on g2, other moves taking the pawn on g3 look strong but I don’t see a reply to Qh3

Yeah, Qh3 is the first thing I thought of, like a few of the commenters above, but that overlooks white’s reply of Nxf4. The correct line is 1. …Qh2- totally forced mate.
Qh3 is bad because of Nxg4 and all is equal.
fxg3 leads into a mate in many moves, Qxh2 is by far the quickest and easiest way to mate white.
