Hweh is a Korean dish made from thinly sliced raw fish. It is served fresh on a platter along with many other side dishes to balance out the delicacy and texture of this meal. Unlike the Japanese sashimi, the fish is usually dipped in hot kochujang sauce and then wrapped in ssam (vegetable leaf wrap), usually with kketnip (sesame leaves).
