Hwedupbap Recipe Video
Hwedupbap is one of my favorite dishes. One order of hwedupbap with tofu bean paste soup will be a reasonable meal because it consists of a balanced ratio of all nutrients.
Ingredients
Fresh raw salmon, tuna and flying fish roe (orange), 1 carrot, 2 cups of lettuce, ½ cucumber (half cup), 7 or 8 sesame leaves, 2 green onions, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 ts of juice from ginger, 1 package of tofu, bean paste, dried anchovies, laver (kim), sesame oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sugar, hot pepper paste, and vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar but you can use any kind).
Directions
# Cook rice.
# Make soup:
* In a pot, put 5 cups of water and 8-10 dried anchovies (remove heads and intestines) and boil for about 10 minutes.
* Remove the anchovies from the pot and add 1½ tbs bean paste. Lower the heat.
* Dice ½ package of tofu (about 1 cup) into 0.5-1cm cubes and add them to #2 and boil a few more minutes and turn the heat off.

* Cut a medium size carrot into julienne strips and put it into a small bowl.
