- Cucumber
- Onion
- Radish (or Korean pear)
- Lemon
- Toasted sesame seeds
Special Gochujang Sauce Ratio- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- Sodag (or Sprite) for consistency adjustment
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced garlic
- Sodag (or Sprite) for consistency adjustment
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the special Gochujang sauce, which is key to the flavor of this mixed noodle dish. In a large bowl, combine 4 Tbsp Gochujang, 4 Tbsp vinegar, 4 Tbsp sugar, and 2 Tbsp minced garlic. Mix well. You can adjust the sauce’s consistency by gradually adding Sodag (or Sprite) until it reaches your desired thickness. For an even richer flavor, feel free to add sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, or mustard paste.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables to accompany the dish. Tear the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Julienne the radish (or Korean pear), carrot, cucumber, and onion as thinly as possible. If you prefer a spicier kick, finely chop some chili peppers (like Cheongyang peppers) to include as well. Arrange the julienned vegetables attractively in a bowl. Slice the salmon sashimi thinly and have it ready to serve immediately.
Step 3
I’m always grateful for the ease of obtaining fresh salmon sashimi in the US! (This is a personal reflection and does not directly impact the cooking steps.)
Step 4
Gently press the fresh salmon sashimi with paper towels to remove any excess moisture and oil. This step helps enhance the fresh flavor of the salmon. Then, slice the salmon into long, noodle-like strips for your bibim guksu.
Step 5
Placing a slice of lemon on top of the salmon not only looks appealing but also significantly enhances the flavor when squeezed just before eating. The lemon’s zestiness cuts through any richness, making the dish taste even cleaner and brighter.
Step 6
Drizzle the delicious, pre-made Gochujang sauce over the prepared salmon sashimi and vegetables.
Step 7
Generously pour the Gochujang sauce to your liking. The amount of sauce can be adjusted according to your personal preference.
Step 8
Now, all that’s left is to mix everything together until well combined! Your delicious Salmon Sashimi Bibim Guksu, bursting with fresh flavors, is complete. Enjoy this simple yet impressive dish for a delightful meal!
