I love the idea of fusion food. Taking the best aspects of two or more culture's cuisines and combining them into one. Today we are combining Italian and Korea food to make Bulgogi Spaghetti.
We used mainly Korean ingredients, but used Italian cooking techniques to make one of my favorite childhood dishes. By undercooking the pasta and finishing the cooking in the sauce, we are treated with a creamy texture. Salty, sweet, and savory. Pasta lovers will enjoy this dish!
