Quick & Easy Marinated Sashimi (with Korean Style Mayak Eggs Sauce) 麻藥生魚片

I’ve made Korean Style Marinated Eggs/Mayak Gyeran 마약계란 a couple of times before, it was divine and so addicting that I really wanted to make it again recently. This time, however, I would like to do something differently, no eggs…but sashimi raw fish!
⁠⁠
Not going to lie the idea is coming from Japanese ‘Zuke-Don’. (If you’ve heard about it) When the recipe of Korean Mayak Egg requires to marinate the eggs in the fridge for at least 6 hours, THIS just needs to rest sashimi in marinade sauce for 10 minutes and that’s done. How simple, isn’t it? No cooking required.⁠⁠


If you love the alluring flavour of Mayak eggs, you have to try this as well. This is also dangerously addictive to have you craving for more.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
INGREDIENTS⁠⁠
-Assorted sashimi.⁠⁠
-Shredded Daikon radish and lemon slices. (Optional, these are coming with sashimi box, so I soak them in the sauce as well.)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
MARINADE SAUCE⁠⁠
-1 tbsp chopped onion⁠⁠
-1 tbsp chopped garlic⁠⁠
-1 tbsp chopped spring onion⁠⁠
-2 tbsp soy sauce⁠⁠
-1 tbsp white vinegar⁠⁠
-1 tsp sugar⁠⁠
-1 tbsp still water⁠⁠
-1 tbsp sesame oil⁠⁠
-1 tbsp white sesame seeds⁠⁠
⁠⁠
METHOD⁠⁠
1. Combine marinade sauce ingredients together and stir until everything well mixed. I use this sauce mixture to marinate 16 pieces of sashimi.⁠⁠
2. Soak sashimi, shredded Daikon radish and lemon slices (if you have) in marinade sauce for 10-15 minutes. (No more than 15 minutes.)⁠⁠
3. Enjoy it with steamed rice and don’t forget to pour the sauce over it. SO GOOD!⁠⁠
