\nIt may come as a surprise to some that North Korea and Russia share a border: 11 land miles of \u201cterrestrial border\u201d and 12 nautical miles of \u201cmaritime border\u201d, and during the Japanese occupation in the 1920s\u201330s, some Koreans escaped to Russia via this route. Subsequently, Stalin moved all Koreans in Russia to Central Asia, mostly Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan; they self-identified as Koryo-Saram and their fusion-by-necessity cuisine is the focus of this post. You may have tasted some version of the spicy shredded carrot salad (morkovcha) offered by most Uzbek restaurants but it\u2019s khe that I\u2019ve come to crow about and Caf\u00e9 At Your Mother-in-Law, 3071 Brighton 4th St just off Brighton Beach Ave in Brooklyn, does a remarkable job with it. Meaty chunks of raw fish marinated in vinegar, onions and Korean red chili are the main ingredients (recipes vary) in this delectable dish; [2] a cooked beef version is also available with slightly different seasonings but equally delicious. [3] Pegodya, a steamed bun stuffed with cabbage and meat that comes with a special house sauce, makes a good accompaniment. Khe is the reason I take folks to this restaurant on my Little Odessa ethnojunkets and I\u2019m pleased to report that it\u2019s always a hit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also pleased to report, speaking of ethnojunkets, that now you can book a food tour with me at your convenience without waiting for the next one to be announced. During colder weather and the holiday season, I tend to do fewer scheduled <\/em>ethnojunkets, but that doesn\u2019t mean that I stop doing them! Simply click here<\/a> to find out how!
