A moist and deeply flavorful kimchi fried rice, crafted with passion. This exquisite recipe coats the rice with egg for a fluffy texture, then enriches it with the umami of pork belly and kimchi for a moist finish. The aroma of caramelized soy sauce will whet your appetite.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Thinly sliced pork belly 100g
  • Napa cabbage kimchi 100g
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3-4 stalks of garlic chives
  • 1/2 medium leek
  • 350g warm cooked rice
  • Roasted seaweed, for garnish (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Salt 1/3 tsp
  • Soy sauce 1/2 tbsp
  • Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish (to taste)

Steps

  1. Finely chop 1/2 medium leek.
  2. Finely chop 3-4 stalks of garlic chives.
  3. Cut 100g of thinly sliced pork belly into 2cm pieces.
  4. Season the pork with salt (to taste).
  5. Whisk together 2 eggs with salt (to taste).
  6. Heat sesame oil (to taste) in a frying pan and ensure it's hot.
  7. Add the beaten eggs and, once lightly fluffy, immediately add 350g of warm cooked rice.
  8. Using a spatula and a wooden spoon (two tools), quickly mix the rice and egg, coating the grains. [This is the key!] Keep the heat high and don't remove from the heat to maintain high temperature even with home stove burners. Gently press down any clumpy parts of rice.
  9. Add 1/3 tsp salt to the rice and mix further.
  10. Transfer the egg-coated, fluffy rice to a separate container.
  11. Add a little sesame oil (to taste) to the same frying pan, add 1/2 medium leek, and stir-fry until fragrant.
  12. Add 100g of thinly sliced pork belly and stir-fry until the color changes.
  13. Add 100g of napa cabbage kimchi and stir-fry, allowing the moisture to evaporate. [This is the key!] Thoroughly evaporating the moisture results in crispy and savory kimchi fried rice, not soggy.
  14. Once a fragrant aroma develops, flip and continue to cook.
  15. Return the prepared rice and kimchi to the frying pan and mix everything together.
  16. Add 3-4 stalks of garlic chives and mix lightly, incorporating air. [This is the key!] Mixing lightly adds a vibrant color.
  17. Pour 1/2 tbsp soy sauce along the side of the pan to release its aroma.
  18. Add toasted white sesame seeds (to taste) and mix everything.
  19. Plate and garnish with extra kimchi (to taste), toasted white sesame seeds (to taste), and roasted seaweed (to taste) as desired. Enjoy!
