Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, in a bowl, combine the bite-sized pork shoulder with 1 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of ginger wine, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 10 minutes. This step helps to remove any pork odor and tenderize the meat.

Step 1

Step 2

Next, prepare the vegetables for a rich texture in your fried rice. Wash and dice the shiitake mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion into 0.5cm cubes. Thinly slice the green onions and set them aside.

Step 2

Step 3

Now, let’s make the stir-fry sauce. In a bowl, add the marinated pork. Mix in 2 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp sugar, 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp minced garlic, 4 Tbsp gochujang, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Combine everything thoroughly and let the pork marinate for about 20 minutes. Allowing the flavors to meld is crucial.

Step 3

Step 4

Heat a lightly oiled pan over high heat. Add the marinated pork and stir-fry quickly, breaking it apart with chopsticks or a spatula to prevent sticking.

Step 5

When the pork is about halfway cooked, add the finely chopped kimchi and stir-fry together. The kimchi’s tangy flavor will deepen the overall taste of the dish.

Step 5

Step 6

Once the pork and kimchi are well combined, add the diced onions and stir-fry. Cooking the onions until they become translucent will bring out their sweetness and enhance the flavor.

Step 7

As the onions begin to soften, add the prepared bell pepper and shiitake mushrooms and continue to stir-fry. The crisp bell pepper and chewy mushrooms will add wonderful texture and depth to your stir-fried pork.

Step 8

Finally, add the sliced green onions and stir-fry briefly to finish the stir-fried pork. The fragrant green onions will add a pleasant aroma to the entire dish.

Step 9

Remove about half of the prepared stir-fried pork to a separate bowl. In the pan with the remaining stir-fried pork, add 2 bowls of warm rice and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. Stir-fry gently, mixing the rice thoroughly with the pork and sauce, ensuring the rice grains don’t clump together.

Step 10

Transfer the stir-fried pork and rice to a serving bowl. Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the top. The melting cheese will create a tempting visual.

Step 11

Finally, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and microwave for about 2 minutes. Once the cheese is fully melted and the rice is heated through, your fantastic stir-fried pork and rice bowl is ready! Enjoy your meal.
