Bulgogi taco

East meets south.  Mexican meets Korean.  A bulgogi taco with kimchi!  A delicious combination of the best of two cultures! My favourite kind of fusion food! This is more of a leftovers lunch then a real recipe per se; cheaters bulgogi using the marinade with ground beef, kimchi and cheese all wrapped up in a pan fried tortilla shell.
I was making tacos for the kids for lunch and knowing that my yobo doesn’t love Mexican food, I wanted to find a way to make it appealing to him so he wouldn’t resort to making ramyun!  How do you make something appealing to a Korean?  Add kimchi!  If the food is bland, add kimchi!  Their least favourite?  Add kimchi!  Yesterday’s flop?  Add kimchi!

As I was thinking about this dish, it realized that it kinda reflects our intercultural family.  Well… except I’m not Mexican!  But the idea that mixing cultures can lead to something fabulous.  Mexican food, delicioso, Korean food, mashi-e-sawyo… but together they are something so good that was weirdly made for each other.  Fusion food, just like fusion friendships, are like that… weird but wonderful!  Now I just need to dream up a combination of dutch cuisine with some kimchi…
