Choi Kang-rok's Mulhoe
A refreshing mulhoe made by thinly slicing leftover raw fish and sea eel, mixing them with vegetables in cho-gochujang (spicy red chili paste), and then pouring a cold broth based on doenjang (soybean paste), served with somyeon noodles.

Cooking tips
- Pre-seasoning the fish and vegetables with cho-gochujang before adding the broth ensures the flavors don't get diluted in the generous amount of liquid.
- Adding seafood with a firm texture like abalone, sea cucumber, or squid will enhance the chewing experience.
- Sea eel can have small bones, so make fine cuts and blanch only briefly to ensure tenderness without bones getting stuck.
- If you have leftover broth after eating the mulhoe, you can also enjoy it by mixing in cold rice.
Recommended for
- Those who want to stimulate their appetite lost due to the summer heat.
- Those who want to creatively use leftover raw fish in a spicy and sour dish.
- Those who want to experience a deep flavor with the savory umami of doenjang, beyond the typical cho-gochujang taste of mulhoe.
