What is Asian fusion?
Asian fusion is about experimenting and creating new flavours and dishes by blending two or more cuisines, ingredients, or cooking techniques.
It is about taking some of the traditional, base flavours and ingredients of a specific cuisine and joining it with elements of a different cuisine or culture to create something new and exciting.
For example, the common flavours in Chinese cuisine are ginger, garlic, chillies and soy sauce.
Fusion cooking could then fuse these with typical ingredients found in Indian (curry, coriander, coconut milk, ghee, turmeric, Garam Masala etc.) or Japanese cuisine (fish, rice, mushrooms, seaweed, soy, dashi, wasabi etc.). Or you can even go further afield for inspiration with South American or European influences.
The sky's the limit in Asian fusion with unlimited Asian food ideas!
Where did Asian Fusion originate from?
It is impossible to pin down the origin of fusion cooking as blending traditional dishes has been around for thousands of years. However, the concept of fusion cooking was made popular in the 1960s-70s.
Asian fusion became popular in America in the 60s whereas it gained momentum in France in the 70s when French chefs started fusing French food with Vietnamese and Chinese cuisines.
Today, thanks to Asian fusion restaurants and inspiration for Asian fusion cooking on social media, Asian fusion is one of the hottest food trends around.
