  • corn syrup, a little
  • salt, a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon gochugaru, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, and corn syrup to make a special seasoning sauce.
  2. Add cold or warm rice to the prepared seasoning and mix well so the rice is evenly coated.
  3. Finely chop the green onion and minari into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Heat a pan, add usamgyeop and green onion, sprinkle a little salt, and fry until the meat releases enough savory oil.
  5. Add the chopped minari to enhance the aroma, then add the pre-seasoned rice, spread it flat, and press lightly while stir-frying until the rice is fluffy and slightly crispy.
  1. Make a seasoning sauce with soy sauce, gochugaru, corn syrup, etc., and mix it with the rice beforehand.
  2. In a pan, stir-fry usamgyeop, green onion, and salt to render the savory meat oil.
  3. Add minari and the pre-mixed rice in order, and stir-fry everything together.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Pre-mixing the rice with seasoning before frying prevents the grains from clumping and gives a fluffy texture.
  • At the end, spread the rice thinly in the pan and press gently so the bottom gets slightly crispy, maximizing the flavor of the meat oil.
