Cheesy Asian Fusion Kimchi Bulgogi Quesadillas

Bringing Cultures Together with Bulgolgi Quesadilla

Asian Fusion Food is something that I find represents me well; I grew up in Taiwan and moved to Canada in high school. When I moved to Canada, I started exploring food from all different cultures. Nothing is more fun than mixing recipes that I learned from fusion recipes all around the world. This Korean-Mexican fusion recipe is a great example of that.

The most beautiful thing about food is that there is never “one way” or “right way” or doing it. Everyone has their interpretation of what tastes good, and it is always going to be different depending on your culture, childhood, preference, and much more! That is why I decided to start a new series called Fusion Friday, where I create fun recipes incorporating food from different cultures. 

Inspired By Universal Studios Kimchi Tacos

For the first episode, I will be making Cheesy Kimchi Bulgogi Quesadillas. I love pairing cheese with spicy food; there is something so satisfying about it. This dish was inspired by my visit to Universal Studios last year, where I tried kimchi tacos; I thought to myself, IF ONLY this had more melting cheese … so I went back home started playing around with different ingredients, and BAM, this dish is CHEFS KISS.
