Instructions

Step 1

Mix gochujang, water, kimchi juice to form a slurry, then chop your onions, kimchi, garlic, and scallions and set aside.

Step 2

Over high heat, fry your pork belly for 2-3 minutes until crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the pork and set aside leaving the reserved fat in the pan.

Step 3

In the same pan, sauté your garlic for 15 seconds followed by your scallion whites, onions, and kimchi and stir fry for 2 minutes. If making vegetarian, use 2 tbsp of butter or oil instead of reserved fat.

Step 4

Add your day old rice and kimchi slurry and mix to combine. Continue cooking over high heat until the slurry has absorbed into the ingredients and the rice is relatively dry (about 5-6 minutes).

Step 5

Add your pork belly and scallion greens and mix to combine. Add 1 tsp of sesame oil and mix, then season with salt, pepper, and msg. Top with sesame seeds, nori, and a fried egg and enjoy!
