Korean-American Fusion

My mind has been thinking about coming up with a simple fusion recipe that is easy, scalable, and delicious. So I decided to make Korean BBQ sliders in brioche buns. It’s kind of funny how the lab’s Christmas parties have become a test bed to bring out everyone’s culinary A-game. I settled on spicy pork and marinated bulgogi (thinly sliced beef) for the two kinds of meat. The miniature brioche buns were from a wonderful and easy no-knead recipe from <https://pinchandswirl.com/brioche-slider-buns/>.
