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.

Famous quotes containing the word hoe:
“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
