About this dish

The gochujang and vinegar broth goes into the freezer for about an hour and is poured over the bowl while still slushy.

That keeps everything cold to the last spoonful without a pile of ice cubes thinning the seasoning. Raw flatfish sits on shredded pear, cucumber and cabbage, and with nothing here touching heat, the fish should be sold for raw eating, kept cold, and served the moment the bowl is put together.

Tips

Pat the 200 g of raw flounder dry, distribute it evenly over the vegetables, pour in the slushy broth, and serve immediately.
Freezing the broth until slushy prevents it from getting diluted quickly and keeps it cold to the end.
Use only fish prepared for raw consumption, keep it at 4°C or below during preparation, and serve the finished dish immediately.
