1 pack instant rice (210g)

1 tbsp perilla oil

1/2 tsp chicken powder

210ml water

Recipe

Microwave instant rice for 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds to slightly dry out the grains, then set aside.
Coat a non-stick frying pan generously with perilla oil, add the heated rice, and press it firmly into a thin, round layer with a spatula.
Cook over low heat until the bottom is crispy and golden brown, creating nurungji (scorched rice).
Add 1 cup of water and chicken powder to the pan with the nurungji, then turn on the heat.
Simmer gently over low heat until starch releases from the rice and the broth becomes thick and velvety, then finish.

Microwave instant rice to remove moisture.
Press the rice thinly in a perilla oil-coated pan and cook until golden.
Add water and chicken powder, then simmer until mellow and thickened.

Cooking tips

If too much moisture is removed, the rice will become hard, so limit microwave time to within 1 minute 30 seconds.
If you don't have chicken powder, substitute with beef dashida or a seasoning like Yeondusoon (Yondu Soon).
The bottom of the nurungji should be crispy while the top remains moist when you add water, so the starchy broth develops well.

Recommended for
