Los Angeles Favorite Restaurant Recipe: Furikake Kettle Corn at A-Frame

The godfather of Kogi food truck movement, Roy Choi's most underrated creations is probably A-Frame's kettle corn. The furikake kettle corn is the perfect example of Choi's mix of bold yet familiar flavors--kettle corn, Corn Pops, dried pineapple, bacon, a little spice of cayenne pepper and chili flakes, dried fish, sesame seeds and crushed bits of rice cracker. LA weekly siad, "Furikake kettle corn exists in the cultural gray area between American and Asian -- a great triumph in cultural hybridization." Choi said, "When I was in Hawaii, my friends told me 'this is how it's done on da islands. So I came home, and it became the cornerstone to the development of A-Frame, L.A.-style." This recipe is adapted from Chef Roy Choi.
