Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make a super simple yet incredibly delicious ‘Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl’ using kimchi and pork belly from the fridge! It requires no side dishes and is a perfect #OneDishMeal, #SoloDining, or #FridgeCleanOut recipe for a satisfying meal. Let me show you how to make it delicious!
Step 2
First, prepare the kimchi. Finely chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces; this helps the seasoning penetrate better and makes it easier to eat. You don’t need to cut the thinly sliced pork belly as it will break apart naturally as it cooks. Now, lightly oil a pan and add the chopped kimchi to stir-fry. Add 1 teaspoon of gochujang, 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide, and 1 teaspoon of gochugaru, stir-frying everything together. Depending on the sourness and saltiness of your kimchi, you might need to add a tiny pinch of salt to adjust the seasoning. (Tip: For an even richer flavor, instead of just oil, you can first make scallion oil by stir-frying chopped scallions in the pan before adding the kimchi. I added a little of the scallion oil I had.)
Step 3
Continue stir-frying the kimchi until it’s well combined with the seasonings. Then, add the thinly sliced pork belly. Since pork belly cooks very quickly, it’s best to stir-fry it over medium-high heat. Cook until the pork is fully done and well mixed with the kimchi. Taste it and if it needs more flavor, add a little more salt or a pinch of black pepper. (Tip: Pork belly can be quite fatty, so blotting away excess oil with a paper towel occasionally can result in a cleaner taste.)
Step 4
Spoon the warm cooked rice into a bowl. Then, generously top the rice with the delicious stir-fried pork belly and kimchi mixture. You’ll have an appetizing and hearty rice bowl in no time!
Step 5
And there you have it! A wonderfully simple ‘Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl’ is complete. It’s so rewarding to create such a fantastic meal with just kimchi and pork belly. For an extra touch, drizzle a little sesame oil on top and sprinkle with black sesame seeds for added nuttiness and visual appeal. Enjoy your meal!
