HOW TO MAKE YUKHOE (RECIPE)

HOW TO MAKE YUKHOE (RECIPE) -it is a traditional Korean dish made of raw ingredients especially the meat. Beef is commonly used in making Yukhoe. Not just beef but the most soft part of the meat since this dish is prepared as raw food. Some of the ingredients commonly used in making this dish are garlic, ginger, onions, sugar, salt and sometimes julienned pear. Fat must be removed because it is unpleasant to eat as raw. In korean, Hoe means combination of raw ingredients mixed with some spicy seasonings. In some Korean restaurants, raw meats such as liver, kidney and heart are used for Yukhoe but since not all of use like the idea of using those meats, I would advice you to use beef or pork. Cleaning the meat thoroughly is very crucial in the preparation because we do not want the unpleasant odor and substance be eaten that is why the meat must be cut very thinly and washed thoroughly with running water then dry with clean paper towel. Using spicy sauce is very common in making Yukhoe so you can use your favorite chili sauce for this dish or you can combine all the hot and spicy ingredients you have. The idea of using spicy sauce is that we know it can remove the slimy odor so that the food would not be disgusting to eat. Here is the simple and easy Yukhoe recipe:
