Abstract:
Kare-kare Sushi is a remarkable blend of Filipino and Japanese cuisines. Kare-Kare Sushi combines Filipino and Japanese ingredients with a nice, non-fishy peanut sauce dipping sauce that uniquely tastes the sushi roll. This study examined the development of Kare-Kare Sushi, its acceptability, and the expert evaluator’s ideas for refining the research-based product. This study’s outcome goal was defined using descriptive research. The researchers also used a formative research methodology to elicit responses and incorporate respondents’ feedback to improve Kare-Kare Sushi. Ten professional assessors from Rizal culinary restaurants were purposefully selected as research responders. The respondents’ responses were analyzed using weighted mean, rank distribution, and narrative documentation. The study highlighted the complicated process of making Kare-kare Sushi, which required extensive trial and error to discover a formula that combined traditional Kare-kare flavours with sushi-cooking techniques. Overall, the dish was very acceptable. Expert comments largely focused on taste improvement, demonstrating a solid foundation with room for growth. Trying different ingredient ratios and preparation methods to balance the flavours and textures, doing a nutritional analysis to determine health risks, and encouraging culinary innovation that honours Filipino and Japanese traditions in fusion cuisine are future recommendations.
