Spicy Sashimi Bowl Hwe Deop Bap Food

SPICY SASHIMI BOWL (HWE DEOP BAP)

Steps:

• Cut fish into small pieces.
• Wash vegetables and prepare as instructed above. Most of them are just thinly sliced.
• Mix "Cho Kochujang (sweet and sour chili sauce)" ingredients, set aside.
• In a large bowl, put rice on the bottom, spread lettuce and salad greens.
• Arrange rest of the vegetables, add fish, and spoon smelt roe on top.
• Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over each serving.
• Serve with cho kochujang (sweet and sour chilli sauce).
• I like to serve garlic and chilies in a separate bowl, so everybody can add to taste.

GREEK STEWED POTATOES, GREEN BEANS, AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Add the onion and sauté until it is golden.
• Add the potatoes and water.
• Bring to a simmer, then cook, covered, over medium heat until the potato chunks are about half-done, about 15 minutes.
• Add the zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, and oregano.
• Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender.
• Stir in the dill combination, Cut the feta cheese into chunks and put into the stew.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

DOL SOT BIBIM BAP

Steps:

• To make life easier, try to find a good Asian grocery store for many of these ingredients. The stone pot is expensive but worth it to 'crisp the rice'.
• And as a side note - I'm just a German-American girl trying to cook for my Korean boyfriend - I am a total substitution junkie as I do not eat red meat or pork. I also use free range, low cholesterol eggs for this recipe to do my arteries a favor.
• Marinade beef and/or tofu overnight in bulgogi or Korean bbq marinade. Make tiny cubes of the tofu if you go that route before marinading. Don't forget to rinse thoroughly to get the mystery liquid off your packaged tofu.
• Make rice in a rice cooker for best results. Rinse rice thoroughly & drain. Add equal parts rice and water and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Keep warm when done.
• Sauté all vegetables in any order but separately. Add very small amount of sesame oil, a pinch of sugar and a tiny bit of minced garlic to your taste to sauté. You might want to cook 2 vegetables in only salt -like the carrots and onion, as they tend to pick up too much sesame flavor in my opinion. Try not to overcook the vegetables as you will be slightly cooking them more in the stone bowl.
• Boil bean sprouts until they smell cooked and slightly soften - 5 minutes maybe. Rinse in cold water.
• Broil or bbq your beef.
• Heat stone or cast iron bowl and add rice in the bottom and place meat or tofu and vegetables around in a circle side by side.
• Add whole egg on top. Mix with two spoons to cook egg. Slightly cook more to crisp rice.
• Add sesame seeds as a garnish and for taste and texture.
• Add kochujang sauce to your taste and mix. Add kimchi as a side - I mix it altogether for a hot/cold contrast.
• Serve while it's still sizzling. This whole process takes practice so don't despair! It's worth the effort. I think this recipe is highly customizable to your individual tastes with so many vegetables (add more or less of your favorites).

BI BIM BOP

Steps:

• Make a marinade for the beef. Mix the soy sauce, garlic, sugars, green onions, sesame seeds, salt, & pepper in a bowl. Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss until themeat is well coated. Marinate it for at least 2 hours is the fridge, overnight of possible.
• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees and place 4 Korean-style stone bowls in oven.
• Start cooking your rice.
• Combine shiitake mushrooms and 1/2 cup hot water in a bowl. Allow the muchrooms to soak for 10 minutes, they should then be soft. Cut off the stems and throw them away. Cut the caps into thin slices & set aside.
• Bring a saucepan with about 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add spinach to the water just long enough to wilt the leaves, under 1 minute. Drain & pat dry then set aside for later.
• Combine cucumber and carrots in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for later.
• Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook carrots and cucumbers in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir frequently until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside for later.
• Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan, and cook spinach in sesame oil for 2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside for later.
• Add the meat and all of the marinade to the wok/skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The liquid should reduce by 1/2.
• Take the stone bowls out of the oven. BE CAREFUL, THEY ARE HOT!
• Coat each bowl with sesame oil then add 1 cup of the rice into each bowl. press the rice firmly into the bottom. Listen for the sizzle. That means the bowl is telling you it's hot enough.
• Top each bowl of rice with the cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, spinach, mushrooms, & beef.
• Just before you serve the bowls, place a raw egg yolk on to of each bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and top with nori. I've had the Bi Bim Bop with a fried egg on top instead of the raw yolk, so if you are scared of raw eggs, go that route.
• Serve the chili bean paste (Kochujang) in a small bowl on the side.
• To eat, simply add Kochujang to taste, then stir everything together with a soup spoon making sure to be careful of the hot bowl.
