Hoe (dish)

Hoe ( ~ ) may refer to various raw food dishes in Korean cuisine. Saengseon hoe (생선회) or "Hwal-eo hoe" (활어회) is thinly sliced raw fish or other raw seafood (similar to Japanese sashimi); yukhoe (육회) is hoe made with a raw beef and seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine; and gan hoe (간회) is raw beef liver with a sauce of sesame oil and salt.

Fish hoe is usually dipped in a spicy gochujang-based sauce called chogochujang (초고추장), ssamjang (쌈장), or wasabi sauce, and wrapped in lettuce and Korean perilla leaves.

When people finish a meal of saengseon hoe at a restaurant, they sometimes order maeuntang (spicy fish stew, from the fish heads and remaining meat) together with various vegetables.
