Fresh Yukhoe Ingredients
- 300g fresh beef for Yukhoe (tartare)
- 2 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
Yukhoe Marinade
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Yukhoe marinade. In a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 3 tablespoons sesame oil, a pinch of black pepper, 1/2 tablespoon gochujang, and 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Mix them thoroughly until well combined. Gently rinse the fresh beef for Yukhoe under running water and pat it dry. Place the dried beef into the prepared marinade and mix well with your hands, ensuring every piece is coated. Let it marinate for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 2
Next, prepare the rice for the sushi rolls. Take 2 bowls of warm, freshly cooked rice. Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the rice. Using a rice paddle or spatula, gently mix the salt and sesame oil into the rice. Be careful not to mash the rice grains; the goal is to season them evenly while keeping the rice fluffy. This seasoned rice will form the base of your delicious sushi rolls.
Step 3
Finally, assemble the Yukhoe Sushi Rolls. Use a musubi mold or any small, square mold you have. Fill the mold with the seasoned rice and press down firmly to shape it. Once the rice is shaped, carefully top it with a generous portion of the marinated Yukhoe. The vibrant red of the beef against the white rice makes for a visually appealing dish. Gently unmold the rice and place the topped Yukhoe on top. Arrange your beautifully crafted Yukhoe Sushi Rolls on a plate, and they are ready to be served and enjoyed!
