Korean Sashimi Salad (Hwe Dup Bap)

You know me, I love a good poké bowl and my favourite thing to make is Korean food, so obviously it was only a matter of time before I perfected my recipe for Hwe Dup Bap – a traditional Korean sashimi salad, usually served over rice with a super addictive sweet, spicy sauce that you’ll want to put on everything – I’ve started making big pots of it up in the fridge to have over eggs, omelettes, noodles and bowls of ramen.

This Korean Sashimi Salad is one of the recipes I have been playing around with on ‘Rachel’ nights. While I have an incessant need to feed people, when you’re catering for others there are always certain things you love, but you never get to make because they don’t.

Before I met my boyfriend I ate a ton of salmon on an average weeknight, but as he really doesn’t like it, I can’t remember the last time I had a (cooked) salmon supper that was not made for me by my mother, who is as big a salmon fiend as I am. Raw fish and cold, salad suppers both fall into the category of things I can’t usually serve up, so I save them for when I have the indulgence of making a solo supper when I don’t have any pending deadlines I’m furiously testing for and I can just do my own thing.

I had this for a light supper (with some of Remeo‘s divine, smoky dark chocolate gelato eaten straight from the tub for dessert) but it would also make a great weekend lunch after a trip to the fishmongers. I’ve said this in the recipe notes, but have a chat with your fishmonger and make sure the fish you’re buying is sushi grade. While there is a bit more flexibility with salmon (Gem talks about how to safely buy fish to eat raw at the supermarket here), eating raw tuna that is not sushi-safe can be very dangerous, so if you have to, this salad will still be delicious just made with a double quantity of salmon!

If you like the look of this recipe, it actually appears in my second cookbook, One Pan Pescatarian (ad) which you can pre-order now alongside some of my other Korean favourites, Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cakes) and my go-to Kimchee Fried Rice. You can pre-order a copy here (ad).
