Oz-Asian Fusion
My husband grew up knowing nothing about Asian cooking or culture. He however loves his food and does not complain when I put together a range of cross culinary delights based on western food ideas fused with Asian cooking techniques. He is always hanging around in the kitchen making a nuisance of himself when I am cooking or cleaning up (not helping mind you). Below is a recipe I sometimes make based upon potato salad with a slight Asian style twist to it. They sometimes prepare this dish when having get-togethers and family gatherings.
