Assalamu Alaikum. how are you all. I hope everyone is safe by the grace of God. I am also fine Alhamdulillah.I am participating SLC-S28/W5-"Local Taste, Global Twist!"| Cultural Fusion Challenge!.Thank you @ninapenda for this fusion challenge.

• Which two (or more) cuisines did you combine? Tell us why you chose those cuisine as you share the processes.

Chinese food is a very popular food in Bangladesh. Chinese food is available in almost all the restaurants in Bangladesh. One of my favorite dishes among Chinese food is fried rice and chili chicken. Today I will try that chili chicken with our Bengali white rice. Since I like Chinese food, I have chosen Chinese cuisine to participate in this contest. Let's see what kind of combination Chinese cuisine makes with white rice. Let's all enjoy the process of making this chili chicken recipe together.

• What made you think the combination would work well together?

---

I thought the salty taste of soy sauce and the spiciness of chilies used in cooking chili chicken would be delicious with white rice. So I chose this recipe from Chinese cuisine. Moreover, I like it so I wanted to try it with white rice. If anyone wants, you can add capsicum to this recipe.We Bengalis are called "Bengalis of fish rice". Rice is our staple food. We enjoy any other item with rice.

• Did you face challenges while creating your fusion? Share with us. If no, share your experiences.?

---

I have made chili chicken before. So I did not face much problem in making chili chicken. However, I was quite worried about how the combination of chili chicken and white rice would be. When I tested the combination of these two, I liked the taste. Moreover, since I added salad with it, the total combination was the best.

• How do you think the flavors you used represent unity in diversity?

White rice is a traditional dish of our country which has a neutral and simple taste. On the other hand, the Chinese fusion item Chili Chicken is very spicy and hot. When these two items are combined together, they enhance each other's taste even more. Although white rice and Chili Chicken are two different items, they will undoubtedly be very enjoyable together for anyone. I myself enjoyed the taste of it today.
