Essential Ingredients- 3 Tbsp finely chopped kimchi
- 75g canned tuna, drained
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp canned corn kernels
- 1 bowl cooked rice
- 2/3 cup pizza cheese
- A little sesame oil
- A little cooking oil
Sauce Ingredients- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1/2 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious sauce. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1/2 Tbsp of gochujang, and 1/2 Tbsp of gochugaru. Stir well until smooth and lump-free. This sauce will be the flavor base for your stone pot rice.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the stone pot. Lightly coat the inside of your stone pot with cooking oil, then add a drizzle of sesame oil. This helps prevent the rice from sticking and adds a lovely nutty aroma. Place 1 bowl of cooked rice into the prepared stone pot and spread it evenly.
Step 3
Let’s pile on the toppings! Arrange 3 Tbsp of chopped kimchi, 75g of drained canned tuna, 1 Tbsp of mayonnaise, and 2 Tbsp of canned corn kernels over the rice. Next, generously drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the rice and toppings. Finally, sprinkle a good amount of 2/3 cup of pizza cheese all over the top. Don’t be shy with the cheese – more cheese means a more delightful melty finish!
Step 4
Now, we’ll gently cook this in the stone pot over low heat. Cover the stone pot tightly with aluminum foil or a lid. Cook on low heat until the cheese is completely melted and the rice is heated through. Be sure to use low heat to prevent burning; slow and steady is key here.
Step 5
Voilà! Your delicious Tuna Cheese Stone Pot Rice is ready. For an extra touch, sprinkle a little parsley flakes over the top. It adds a lovely visual appeal and a fresh aroma to complement the rich flavors. Serve immediately while it’s piping hot!
