Chicago's Mott Street is an American restaurant, but its menu takes a lot of inspiration from chef/owner Edward Kim's Korean heritage. Check out this week's episode of K-Town where host Matthew Kang tries out a couple kimchi pasta-style dishes like a stuffed cabbage and a kimchi udon with bonito flakes.

That stuffed cabbage is really interesting! When I heard stuffed cabbage I immediately thought of the sweet and sour savory cabbage rolls I grew up eating at Simchas Torah celebrations and at the delicatessen. I’ve actually thought that using kimchi in stuffed cabbage would really increase the flavor and would compliment what is there nicely partially because it is a cuisine which works well with fermented foods

That past is more Japanese than it is Korean. Mentaiko and bonito flakes, udon noodles are all Japanese. The only Korean thing about the dish is the kimchi, which Japanese people also eat, imported from Korea.

@davidmmad1714 3 жыл бұрын

Every Korean fusion dish that incorporates cream into Korean dishes that I’ve had was always somewhat off. It’s something that one eats with the eyes but once it hits the palate it’s just flat out weird. I’ve never ever said that I want to try again. If you want fusion just have traditional pasta with kimchi as ban Chan . But it’s always cool to try something once. Almost all these fusion restaurants that were in vogue in nyc r all dead now, they realize it’s not sustainable, better to focus on traditional cuisine because that’s still very novel to most Americans

How is this Italian exactly? If you're talking about noodles, udon is a Japanese noodle by way of China. Marco Polo brought the noodle concept back from China much like how it brought tomatoes from the Americas. To be exact, this is Korean American (aka American food like American Chinese, those crazy rolls, along with the California roll).

History fact here. Pollock roe known as meitaiko is not specifically Japanese food. Fermentation tech was given to Japan around 1400~1500 from Korea. And some of that fermentation skill is from China. I'm Korean and hate to say we got it from China, well even chilli peppers are from china and made red Kimchi from then. Before, Korea only had white Kimchi. Korea China and Japan are culturally related but somewhat different. Don't just say something is from one contry.
