Korean-style carrots, which many of our compatriots consider to be the hallmark of Korean cuisine, are not actually cooked in this country. The prototype of this snack was heh - a specific dish that Koreans make from raw meat or seafood. Tourists try it out, being in Korea. Hee chicken in Korean can be tasted without traveling around the world, all ingredients necessary for its preparation can be easily found on the shelves of almost any large grocery store in our country.
Cooking Features
Hee chicken is easy to prepare, and any housewife will cope with this task if she knows the specialties of cooking this Korean dish.
- A feature of heh is that this dish is made from raw foods, even when it comes to meat, fish. It is believed that they are “cooked” in the marinade, as they are poured with hot sauce with a high content of vinegar. After a certain time, the meat has time to marinate so much that it becomes safe to use it. But cut it for this should be as thin as possible. It will be easier to adjust chicken fillet into thin straw if it is put in the freezer for 30-60 minutes beforehand.
- Chicken for heh should use quality. If you make a dish of sick bird meat, eating a snack will have a negative impact on health and may even be fatal.
- If you are not sure that you can eat a snack of pickled raw meat, you can pre-fry the chicken fillet to a golden crust in a small amount of butter or boil. The taste of the dish will be quite different from that of the traditional heh, but it will still be tasty and similar to the national Korean dishes even more than Korean carrots.
- Marinating chicken is not recommended in metal dishes, especially in aluminum dishes. This material comes in contact with acids, forming harmful substances, and gives the snack an unpleasant taste.
- Vegetable oil for heh should be taken refined, as it is exposed to high temperatures during cooking.
- Chicken heh can be made with the addition of various vegetables, as well as mushrooms. Especially popular options with onions, carrots, sweet peppers. Snackiness can be changed by reducing or increasing the amount of pepper and garlic, but you can’t completely refuse burning ingredients, since they have antibacterial properties and ensure the safety of the finished dish.
They store heh in the refrigerator and not for a very long time - no more than a week. The sooner you eat it, the easier it is absorbed by the body. However, before the time specified in the recipe, you can not use chicken heh, as poultry meat needs time to marinate.
