Our Korean/American Fusion Lifestyle

We’re a Korean/American couple, Gina and J.J. Let us briefly introduce ourselves. Gina is Korean and works as a translator and writer. J.J. is American and works as a professor of Communication. We met in a graduate school in 2004 and fell in love. Two years later we got married! We appreciate each other’s culture and integrate both cultural elements into our daily life. Food is a crucial part of our fusion lifestyle.

Although J.J. is American, he loves Kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage. Raw Kimchi smells strong, which sometimes turns off some foreigners. However, we discovered that sautéed Kimchi smells much milder and surprisingly tastes a bit cheesy. Since this discovery, we use sautéed Kimchi as a spice in most of our dishes. We have made Kimchi fusion tacos, Kimchi fusion BBQ burgers, Kimchi fusion tuna sandwiches, Kimchi fusion pasta and Kimchi fusion pizzas.

Our favorite among these is the Kimchi fusion taco. We introduced this special taco to our American and Korean families and friends. They all love the tacos. We would like to share our recipe with you. Fusion Korean food will prepare you to enjoy other authentic Korean dishes, such as Kimchi jjigae (Kimchi Stew) and Doenjang jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew). J.J. loves Doenjang jjigae.
