Spice, Savour, and Umami: Unlock Fusion Flavours with Lee Kum Kee
Fusion cuisine just reached a whole new level! At the recently concluded Street Food Championships, Chef Vibhor Dayal of My Delhi Streetery claimed victory in the Umami Round, earning the title of Lee Kum Kee Ultimate Umami Champion with his showstopping Dragon Momos.
This dish is a perfect example of how Lee Kum Kee products transform recipes. By combining our NEW Premium Mushroom Seasoning Powder, a rich and aromatic umami booster, with the bold heat and depth of our Chiu Chow Chilli Oil, Chef Vibhor created a fusion masterpiece that wowed the judges.
Why It Works:
- Premium Mushroom Seasoning Powder adds a deep, savoury umami flavour that elevates broths, sauces, marinades and stir fries with just a small amount.
- Chiu Chow Chilli Oil delivers the perfect balance of chilly, garlic, and spice, making it an essential ingredient for fusion dishes that need an extra kick.
Chef Vibhor’s Dragon Momos highlights the versatility of Lee Kum Kee products in fusion cuisine, blending Chinese and Indian influences for an unforgettable dish. Vibhor explains, “Lee Kum Kee’s products elevate the simplest ingredients. The Premium Mushroom Seasoning Powder adds intense depth and aroma. It goes beyond salt & pepper and is full of umami. When used in a broth, the aroma permeates the momos and elevates the flavour. It also gives the broth a rich texture.
The Chiu Chow Chilli Oil on the other hand brings the perfect level of heat and boldness. Just a teaspoon is all that is needed for the broth. It is hot, powerful and spicy, bringing a different aroma and flavour compared to a regular chilli oil.”
The dish is currently being trialled on the restaurant menu, with strong confidence that it will resonate well with customers. If it proves popular, it is likely to become a permanent addition to the menu.
