The revised romanization gets me too, I always spelled it Yuk Hwe before. You're right about the pronunciation.
The pine nuts were used in the royal prep as well as gingko and sliced chestnuts.
Modern prep usually leaves the nuts out and may use red and green pepper threads.
So I guess it isn't spelled Yu Kwe... But it's pronounced you kwhey, not Yuk Ho, right? Korean beef tartare by any other name...
I've never had the pine nuts - seems a bit overwhelming - but I'll give it a shot next time, just to see.

So I guess it isn't spelled Yu Kwe... But it's pronounced you kwhey, not Yuk Ho, right? Korean beef tartare by any other name...
I've never had the pine nuts - seems a bit overwhelming - but I'll give it a shot next time, just to see.
For those that don't like the idea of raw beef for e. coli concerns, you can totally eliminate that possiblity by using irradiated meat or blanching in water that is at a rolling boil for just 30-60 seconds. This kills all surface bacteria while barely turning the outer 1-2mm brown. Cut this off as you julienne the meat or just ignore it - it is so slight that it will not affect the overall texture, although it will affect how it looks.-COLLAPSE
