Hoedeopbap (Korean Style Poke Bowl)

This is Korean style poke bowl. Sashimi with mixed vegetables paired with a sweet, tangy, and spicy gochujang based sauce. No cooking required. Super easy to put together.

Hoe (회) translates to “raw”, and deopbap (덮밥) translates to “covered rice”. It’s very similar to bibimbap, where there are various toppings over rice. In this case, it consists of raw fish (sashimi) and assorted vegetables over rice.

Remember to get sashimi-grade fish so that it’s deemed safe for raw consumption! I usually get mines from a sushi takeaway store, or H-Mart.

Everything comes together very easily and quickly. There’s no cooking required. Well, except for the rice part.

I love having this during the summer (and also during other times of the year), because it’s delicious, no cooking needed, and healthy. There’s tons of fresh greens in this bowl, you can also customize it by switching it up with other veggies such as cucumber, lettuce, etc.

For the sauce, just mix up everything and it’s ready to go. You can also make the sauce beforehand and store it in the refrigerator.

Definitely the perfect meal if you’re craving for something light, not too oily, yet filling.
