One of the versions of Khe, Korean dish. As far as I know, Khe is usually made from fish, marinated in salt and spices and "cooked" with hot oil, poured on the top of it. My Khe is mostly made of carrots, which is the secondary ingredient in the original dish. But... It's good! really good! I think I would actually prefer all vegetarian Khe to the fish one. Or, maybe, if I lived on the beach, or in really close proximity to the ocean, I might enjoy fresh fish Khe. but for now, this is good...



So, what do you need for this?

About 2 cups of sliced carrots
8 oz of fresh salmon
1/4 cup of oil (any kind will do, but canola is preferred)
2 gloves of garlic
coriander
black pepper
chili pepper
salt



Julienne the carrots, cut the fish into 1x1 inch peaces. Mix fish and carrots, add salt and pepper, leave it for an hour in the fridge.
Add the coriander, and chili pepper to the carrots and fish.
Put the mashed garlic on the top of the carrot-fish mix. Heat the oil in the separate pot. Carefully pour the hot oil on the top of the carrot mix. Mix well, and let rest for couple of hours in the fridge.

Enjoy.
