everyone !!! Have you ever heard of or eaten Korean food called Yukhoe?

Yukhoe is one of Korea's traditional raw meat dishes. Freshly sliced ​​beef is served on top of meat with seasonings such as soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, red pepper powder, and pepper.

I was shocked to see my aunt eating raw meat for the first time. I was thinking how can I eat meat raw. I couldn't eat it right then and tried it a year or so later. It wasn't that bad. No smell, no blood. I've been enjoying it so far.

When making Yukhoe in Korea, they usually use Korean beef. Hanwoo is a high-quality beef produced in Korea. It has a soft and savory taste, so I tend to use Hanwoo when making raw meat.

However, recently, there are cases of making yukhoe using other beef. In addition to Korean beef, yukhoe specialty stores also serve yukhoe using various types of beef, such as domestic antibiotic-free beef and imported beef.

Usually, yukhoe uses parts of beef such as tenderloin and sirloin, and it is important to choose fresh meat. Before slicing, the meat should stay on ice and refrigerate, and only take it out right before slicing.

In addition to soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, red pepper powder, and pepper, ingredients such as green onion, ginger, and red pepper paste are also added to the seasoning. It is common to mix meat and seasoning together in moderation, and it is usually eaten with rice, or enjoyed with soju or beer.

Everything is an experience for me. So when you come across something unfamiliar, such as new food, you can understand and learn new things through experience.

However, safety should always be your top priority when trying out new experiences. Yukhoe is a food that is eaten while the meat is not fully cooked, so there is a possibility of exposure to food poisoning. Be sure to pay attention to food hygiene, and it is better to eat at a production facility dedicated to yukhoe or a specialized yukhoe restaurant.

If you collect the right information and have a new experience through sufficient preparation, you can have a more meaningful and enjoyable experience. Friends who haven't tried Yukhoe yet, try it at least once!
