The Delicious Emergence of Fusion Sushi in Idaho

One of the best things about Idaho, particularly the Treasure Valley, is how many surprises it still holds, even for longtime residents. A great example is the quality, variety, innovation, and most importantly, deliciousness of the cuisine supported by the Gem State. Part of our state’s reason for culinary excellence is likely a result of its diverse history of incomers. Idaho and, again, the Treasure Valley specifically, has hosted large populations of Chinese, Basque, Irish, and Hispanic immigrants (among a number of others).


 

That rich cultural, social, and historical legacy is no doubt responsible for our modern-day community being so receptive to both excellent food and culinary inventiveness. The Treasure Valley is now home to a thriving fusion movement and some of the most exciting examples of it are Asian fusion restaurants. It’s why the prospect of looking for the best sushi Meridian Idaho offers is now not only reasonable but will also yield some incredibly rewarding examples. The following represent some of the examples of sushi fusion varieties found at Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill, just one of the fusion contributors to the Treasure Valley.

Sushi From South of the Border

Fresh hamachi, Pacific yellow tail tuna, is perfectly traditional, and delicious, sushi fare. But when hamachi is layered with jalapeño and topped with avocado, spicy aioli, cilantro, and lime zest to accentuate and complete the roll, it becomes the Bit O’ Mexico—and it’s anything but ordinary.

Bacon, for Sure

While engaging in the recent culinary cliché of declaring that bacon is the end-all-be-all pinnacle of all food experienced by humankind might be going a little overboard, there’s a good reason that cliché exists: Bacon is really good. And it turns out that applies to bacon on sushi too. When savory Applewood bacon is rolled with cucumber and avocado before being topped with fresh ahi and tempura flakes and finished with spicy mayo and eel sauce with a cilantro garnish you can expect some truly next-level sushi. If you’re looking for places to eat in Meridian, find the one offering The Baconator.

BBQ, of Course

When discussing delicious foods (particularly those beginning with “B”) like bacon that work well with sushi, we’d be remiss to leave out barbeque. And while barbeque isn’t unknown in Asian cuisine, it’s less common in sushi. Enter a freshwater BBQ eel roll with ebi, avocado, and red bell pepper, further enhanced by deep sea crab, eel sauce, and citrus aioli and you’re faced with The Caterpillar.
