Wednesday’s Helping: Bringing together elements

A fusion food standout

We suggest that cooks make some room for trial and error when creating or trying fusion recipes.  Our Broccoli salad w/ Ramen noodles made sense to our palettes but the dynamite combo – a fusion one – was merely just an idea until we tried it out for ourselves.  Remember how we recommended adding crushed Ramen noodles to regular cabbage coleslaw for an extra crunch?  This week’s dish evolved from that recipe.  The Asian noodles add a consistent nutty crunch to every bite of an otherwise traditional American veggie salad.  Plus the noodles tend to absorb and enhance this salad’s flavors.
