Main Ingredients- Flatfish (Sashimi-grade) 150g
- Cabbage 150g
- Perilla Leaves (Kkaennip) 10 sheets
- Carrot 30g
- Onion 1/4 medium
- Ice cubes 7-8 pieces (adjust to preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 150g of sashimi-grade flatfish. Using fish specifically prepared for sashimi will ensure the freshest and most delicious result.
Step 2
Wash 150g of cabbage, pat it dry, and thinly julienne it. The crisp texture of the cabbage adds a delightful crunch to the mulhoe.
Step 3
Wash 10 perilla leaves, dry them thoroughly, and thinly julienne them. The distinct aroma of perilla leaves pairs wonderfully with the flatfish mulhoe.
Step 4
Peel and wash the 30g carrot, then julienne it thinly. The vibrant colors will make the dish visually appealing.
Step 5
Peel and thinly julienne 1/4 medium onion.
Step 6
Soak the julienned onion in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove its pungent flavor. This step mellows the sharpness of the onion, making it softer and more palatable.
Step 7
Time to make the mulhoe broth! In a large bowl, combine 300ml of pear juice drink and 150ml of sparkling water. Add 6 Tbsp gochujang, 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 3 Tbsp sugar, 100ml vinegar, 1 Tbsp plum extract, and 1 tsp salt. Whisk everything together until well combined. Taste the broth and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more sugar or vinegar to your liking. This is the key to a perfectly balanced flavor!
Step 8
In a deep serving bowl, arrange the prepared flatfish, julienned cabbage, perilla leaves, carrot, and the soaked onion. Top generously with 7-8 ice cubes to ensure maximum coolness.
Step 9
Pour the prepared, chilled mulhoe broth evenly over the ingredients in the bowl. Your delicious Flatfish Mulhoe is ready to be served! While it’s great to enjoy immediately, chilling it in the refrigerator for a short while will further enhance its refreshing and deep flavors.
