Technomic Inc. has found that fast-casual restaurants are easily adapting their menu to offer spicy Cajun flavors into everything from po\u2019boy-inspired sandwiches and wings, to spicy gulf shrimp cocktails and Bourbon Street barbecue burgers. Cajun can easily be adapted to suit a variety of menus, either as a bold gumbo with andouille, a sizzling steak, or in a brunch-time favorite, the Bloody Mary. <\/p>\n
Miso<\/h3>\n
Made from fermented soybeans, miso is a thick paste which is added to broths to create miso soup. With the popularity of Asian flavors in this generation, the craving for miso has spread beyond soups, and has now become the ideal addition to entrees, salads, and appetizers. Try adding miso to Caesar salad dressings, or use it to create richness in ancient grain dishes, and even to compliment fish, such as salmon and cod. <\/p>\n
Saffron<\/h3>\n
Described as being reminiscent of metallic honey with grassy or hay-like note, this sweet spice is widely used in Indian, European, Persian, Arab, and Turkish dishes. Added to confectionaries and liquors, or Italian risottos and French bouillabaisse, it provides an exotic flavor not common in American classics. Use it to create a unique dishes, like marinated chicken, or chocolate- and saffron-spiced ice creams. <\/p>\n
Wasabi<\/h3>\n
Sold as a powder, a paste, or a whole stem, wasabi is often used to provide a hot, spicy flavor to a variety of dishes – particularly Japanese cuisine. Served alongside sushi, or blended into a mayonnaise to offer a unique dipping sauce for fish, the opportunities to highlight this ingredient on your menu are endless. Try wasabi peas, or mixing it with a ginger vinaigrette to top salads, or use it to create a signature sauce for burgers or sandwiches.<\/p>\n
