For just the second time in GMTD history, I made hoe deopbap (see previously 11.344 Hoe Deopbap). I don’t know why I don’t make it more often, as noted on that first occasion: “No cooking required. Can be prepared well in advance, then assembled quickly before serving. Just as easy to make 1 bowl as 10 bowls. Impressive in presentation. Super healthy. Super tasty. Easy clean up.”
This time, unfortunately, it didn’t turn out so great. The main problem was the fish, which smelled a bit fishy – unlike larger stores, where sashimi is put on sale every few hours to make way for freshly prepare fish – I suspect that Well-Being Mart makes their sashimi in the morning and sells it all day. And I added too much water to the rice. But anyway, like bibimbap, it just ended up tasting like chogochujang.
