Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for today’s dish and have them ready. This preparation step will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
The star of our dish is the Dolari sashimi, specifically ‘Sekkoshi’. ‘Sekkoshi’ refers to thinly sliced raw fish, including the small bones, which gives it a delightful chewy texture. Ensure the fish is very fresh.
Step 3
Finely chop the Cheongyang peppers. Thinly slice the garlic. Similarly, thinly shred the lettuce and perilla leaves. Fresh vegetables significantly enhance the flavor of the hwedupbap.
Step 4
Marinated onion adds a pleasant tangy flavor. It’s great if you make it yourself, but store-bought is also fine. (You can find a recipe for homemade marinated onion here: @7018515)
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious mixing sauce. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gochujang-based chili paste (increased from the base recipe’s 1 Tbsp), 1 teaspoon of ssamjang, 0.5 teaspoon of wasabi, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 6
Gently mix all the sauce ingredients in the bowl using a spatula or spoon until well combined. You can use the gochujang provided by a Korean restaurant, but for those making it at home, here’s a simple recipe: Mix 1 Tbsp gochujang, 2 Tbsp plum syrup, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, and 1 tsp ssamjang. Add wasabi to taste for an even richer flavor.
Step 7
Place a bowl of warm cooked rice into a wide, deep serving dish. It’s best if the rice isn’t too hot; let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Arrange the prepared lettuce, perilla leaves, sliced garlic, marinated onion, and chopped Cheongyang peppers around the rice. Place the fresh Dolari sashimi in the center, then generously drizzle the special mixing sauce over everything. Mix it all together and enjoy this refreshing, sweet, sour, and spicy Sekkoshi sashimi bowl that’s sure to awaken your appetite. Enjoy your delicious meal!
