Hoedeopbap

Hoedeopbap is a Korean rice bowl that is topped with raw fish and slices of fresh vegetables. Although similar to the Japanese kaisendon, this Korean version is finished off with the addition of a sweet and spicy sauce that usually combines gochujang (chili paste), vinegar, garlic, and sugar. The most common fish varieties used in the dish are salmon, tuna, sea bass, or halibut which may be sliced or cut into thin strips. The key to every hoedeopbap is to use only high-quality, fresh ingredients, and to serve the dish well-chilled.
