Asian Fusion Poutine
We've been holding weekly staff lunches at the Karma Sauce factory, which is not only a great way to unwind but the perfect opportunity to work creatively with our own sauces.
We went for a loose Chinese New Year theme for the lunch, so in addition to an extra tall stack of Cosmic Dumplings and some Curry Karma stir-fried Bok Choy, we experimented with an Asian fusion poutine recipe that used Huhu Pina and soy sauce as a base for the 'gravy'.
Any excuse to have Cosmic Dumplings is a good excuse to have Cosmic Dumplings.
The unusual blend of umami and citrus notes paired with the salty fries astonishingly well, and it was quickly declared GOAL before the last batch of Los Calientes Rojo had even begun to cool (Greatest Of All Lunches, for the uninitiated).
Bone Apple Teeth, as they say (disclaimer: may not be what they say).
