Beef Rib Pâté Chaud
beef that melts off the bone into a fusion of kimchi umami, pâté, and a flakey, golden crust.

To me, most foods are fusion foods – unless you’re talkin’ caveman food, cause I dunno what they ate.
Vietnamese food is no different. I’d be remiss if I didn’t highlight the huge French influence that is integral to so many dishes – bánh mì for one. That’s French bread staring you in the face…
… and this – pâté chaud.
… which literally has a French name – but typically, pâté chaud is filled with pork patty. So I thought, what better substitution than an all-natural beef patty. I’m talkin’ about beef rib. On top of that, or should I say below as well, I added actual pâté and Komo’s Kimchi Paste, so it’s truer to its namesake than ever before.
Could this be the most honest pâté chaud ever created? Jokes aside, this is somewhere between a beef wellington and pâté chaud – a fusion of a fusion if you will.
What about y’all? Did you know that Vietnamese food has so many fusion elements?
