I Turned Asia’s BEST comfort food into Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese is the reigning champion of comfort food… but is it actually the best comfort food in the world? In this video, I’m cooking three of Asia’s most beloved comfort foods — daal tadka from India, katsu curry from Japan, and mapo tofu from China — to see if any of them can truly compete with grilled cheese. Each of these Asian comfort food recipes represents a completely different style of comfort. Warm and nourishing lentils. Rich and crispy Japanese curry. Spicy, numbing Sichuan mapo tofu. After testing all three dishes, only one earns the right to be combined with grilled cheese to try and create the ultimate comfort food fusion. From Indian dal to Japanese curry to Chinese mapo tofu, this is a global comfort food challenge to see whether grilled cheese can be upgraded — or if it proves why it’s still undefeated. Which comfort food would you choose?
