- 1/2 apple

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your deopbap. Set aside the 1 pack of fresh tuna sashimi. Wash and thinly slice the 3 lettuce leaves. Finely julienne the 1/2 onion, 1/2 carrot, and 1/2 apple. Have 2 servings of cold rice and the spicy sauce ready.
Step 2
In a serving bowl, place 1 serving of cold rice. If the rice is too cold, you can gently warm it up before using.
Step 3
Finely chop the 3 prepared lettuce leaves and spread them evenly over the rice. The crisp texture of the fresh lettuce will complement the tuna beautifully.
Step 4
Arrange the julienned 1/2 onion on top of the lettuce. The slight pungency of the onion will stimulate your appetite.
Step 5
Add the julienned 1/2 carrot, arranging it attractively to add color. Carrots add a nice crunch and are packed with nutrients.
Step 6
Julienne the 1/2 apple and place it over the other vegetables. The apple’s refreshing sweetness balances the richness and adds a lovely fruity note.
Step 7
Now, prepare the star ingredient: the tuna sashimi. Cut the 1 pack of tuna sashimi into bite-sized pieces. Handle the fresh tuna carefully to maintain its quality.
Step 8
Arrange the cut tuna sashimi attractively over the vegetables. The vibrant red of the fresh tuna will enhance the visual appeal of your deopbap.
Step 9
Drizzle a little sesame oil over the top for added nutty aroma and flavor. Sesame oil really elevates the taste of the tuna.
Step 10
Generously drizzle the spicy sauce (Chogochujang) over everything. If you enjoy more heat, feel free to adjust the amount of chili peppers or add a bit of gochujang to your sauce.
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle a good amount of shredded seaweed (Gim) over the dish. This adds a savory, slightly oceanic flavor and a delightful texture, completing your delicious Tuna Hoe Deopbap!
Step 12
For an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal, slice 1 tomato and arrange it on top of the deopbap. The tomato’s brightness is a lovely addition.
Step 13
And for those who love a little kick, finely mince the 3 Cheongyang chili peppers and sprinkle them over. Their spicy zest adds another layer of flavor, making your Tuna Hoe Deopbap even more exciting. Now, mix it all up and enjoy!
