We hope you enjoy learning about Southern-Korean Fusion recipes!&nbsp;When cooking together in our household, my husband and I consistently rediscover over and over that southern and Korean flavors mingle and marry well together. We often combine the ingredients of our two food cultures and delight with surprise at how well they blend–There is something special about the merged spices, fermented and pickled produce, and local vegetables.&nbsp;Of these fusion dishes, we love making Southern-Korean ‘grits bowls.’ Instead of the usual southern grits topping options such as ‘shrimp &amp; grits’ or ‘breakfast grits,’ we top this Lowcountry southern comfort food with typical Korean flavors.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here, we give a recipe for one of our favorite fusion ‘grits bowls.’ We combine grits with some Korean marinated ground pork, soy sauce sautéed spinach, and fried kimchi! Before the shared recipe, we give some helpful cooking tips &amp; tricks as well as answer some questions you may have about this recipe. So, let’s get started!&nbsp;Grits are a porridge made by rehydrating stone-ground corn, known as hominy. To do so, you boil the dried honey grits in water, broth, or stock, until they become thick and creamy. Usually, grits serve as the starchy base for entrees!The Muscogee Native American tribe first created grits before introducing them to the white settlers in Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. Originally, this stable was known as ‘Rockahomine’ before being renamed ‘hominy’ or ‘grits’ by these white colonists. Since this introduction, grits have become an integral part of the food culture and diet of southern ‘Lowcountry,’ otherwise known as coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Just remember, when eating grits, you are eating a Native American culinary and cultural invention!&nbsp;To make grits, you can either follow the instructions on the packaging or our classic southern grits recipe!&nbsp;When making grits, we recommend buying a brand from small southern farmers and producers. We list some brands available online in our classic southern grits recipe post. You can also find other brands in our gluten-free grits brands post. Finally, to make delicious grits, never use the instant versions, always buy the stone-ground varieties. The instant versions never taste like the real thing.&nbsp;Now that we learned about grits, we can answer some questions you may have about this Southern-Korean fusion grits bowl! If we did not answer your question, feel free to leave a comment below or email us at .&nbsp;These days, it’s easy to make Korean food, as well as southern food, allergen-free! To do so, you need to replace a few ingredients with some allergen-free alternatives. Below, we list some examples of how to replace certain ingredients.&nbsp;If there is an ingredient that you cannot eat, feel free to email us or leave a comment below. We will research the ingredient and find an alternative for you!Yes! You can easily make this dish vegetarian or vegan! To do so, you will need to substitute a few ingredients.&nbsp;First, we use pork in this grits bowl. Instead, you can use a type of meat replacement (such as Impossible Burger or Beyond Burger) or you can use pressed and crumbled tofu. Either way, the dish will taste different than the original pork version. Though different, it will still taste good!&nbsp;Next, people often use cream, cheese, butter, or broth to make grits.&nbsp;While you can make this recipe in advance, grits never taste as good reheated. I recommend making the grits right before serving this dish.&nbsp;To store the leftovers, place the individual parts of this dish in different storage containers. Place the grits in one container and the pork topping in another container. That way, you can heat them separately!&nbsp;You can store the pork and grits for up to three days in the refrigerator. The other topping, such as green onions, can be kept for up to a week. Finally, kimchi can stay for a few months in the refrigerator.&nbsp;To reheat the grits, place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, add and stir in a bit of cream, stock, or water into the grits before microwaving until hot. In another bowl, reheat the pork.You can add the pork as well as other toppings back onto the heated grits!

I was worried since I’ve never made grits before but I ended up with extreamly creamy and delicious grits. The pork in this thing is also really really tasty, and all the garnishes make it look and taste delicious. I didn’t include any Kimchi because I’m not sure if I or my family like it (will have to try all together later) but the dish was still scrumptious. Thanks Emily!Didn’t have the kimchi and used a spinach/arugula combo. Layered servings in individual bowls… was soooo delicious!!!Welcome to Carving A Journey!
