SmokinAussie said:
Time for some end of Summer MSU fusion fun! Combine TWO(or more if you like) different cuisines for a single fusion food item/entree. You could combine Mexican with Asian, Korean with Japanese, Thai with American - there’s MANY possibilities! Please identify the cuisines which are the inspiration for your entry.

FYI, Roy Choi is one of my fave chefs out there, and brings so much to Mexican / Californian food with a Korean twist.

Here is something I did a while back. Pork Kalbi, Roy style.

Make it Fusion and make it TASTY!

You may submit entries that are cooked from 9/2 through 9/19.

Entry pictures must be submitted by Noon Central US Time on 9/19/22.

Oh man....perfect timing for a fusion dish I was going to cook this weekend anyway.

LYU370 · Sep 2, 2022

Hmmm.. Pierogi filled with some Korean Kalbi, served with Phil's Italian sauce.

So Korean Polish ravioli. :noidea:

SMOKE FREAK · Sep 2, 2022

Can I mix Tex with Mex? Does that count?

LYU370 · Sep 3, 2022

Or maybe one of the Pizza Hut pizzas from Hong Kong... Possibly fusion, or possibly an abomination.

TexMex would qualify as a single cuisine. So...

I've already got my entry planned if I can pull it off in time - an Armenian/Mediterranean/Yemeni creation is what I'll be cooking up.

I can almost guess what it will be, and all I can say is, I want some:-D

I'm gonna start this off by saying that I had not imbibed one single sip when I came up with this idea. That said, I made German tacos. From the bottom up I went with flour tortillas since they seemed more reminiscent of a bratwurst bun. Next was some Johnsonville brats that I liberated from their casings. Then sauteed peppers and onions. Topped with chilled sauerkraut seasoned with cumin as my slaw. Finally a couple pickled jalapeno slices. They were actually quite good. This was all done on my Blackstone.

This will be an entry for now until I come up with some other goofy idea.

This is a common thing in Hong Kong. I don't get it. It makes no sense. I'll never order one. A fruit salad pizza is plain crazy, yet they sell.

Well I guess I've got myself a two-fer with the burger challenge that is also going on. Here's my take on Indian/Americana fusion.

How about a spicy Tandoori Chicken burger with Kachumber salad. Sounds tasty, right? I assure you it was delicious!

I started off with 2 chicken leg/thigh quarters that I deboned and ground. Mixed the chicken with scallion, ginger, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, turmeric, and S&P. They were grilled over charcoal and pecan for a little smoke.

Had to have some kind of sauce so I went with a mix of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh mint, a touch of cumin, and S&P.

The Kachumber salad was cucumber, tomato, red onion, mint, lemon juice, and S&P.

Plating started with a round of garlic Naan that got a little toast on the grill, topped with a spread of the yogurt sauce, then the burger patty, topped with sliced cucumber, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Finished off with another round of garlic Naan and, of course, some more yogurt sauce.

Sorry about the quality of the photo. I know it's terrible but check the cook thread to see what went into this Korean / Mexican thang!

It tasted pretty good and it was also an excuse to drink a bottle of Soju!:mrgreen:

Cheers!
