Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • pork 150~200g
  • kimchi 2~3 tablespoons
  • bean sprouts 1 handful
  • sugar 0.5 tablespoon
  • ssamjang 1 tablespoon
  • tonkatsu sauce 1 tablespoon
  • rice 1 bowl
  • sesame powder to taste
  • egg 2 pieces
  • salt a pinch
  • mozzarella cheese 1 handful
  • vegetable oil a little
  • parsley powder a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Lightly coat a pan with vegetable oil, then sear the pork on both sides until golden brown, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Push the cooked pork to one side of the pan, then use the rendered pork fat to sauté finely chopped kimchi, bean sprouts, and half a tablespoon of sugar together.
  3. Once the vegetables are wilted, add one tablespoon of ssamjang and one tablespoon of tonkatsu sauce, mixing thoroughly while stirring.
  4. Add one bowl of rice and sesame powder, stirring continuously to ensure even distribution of seasoning without clumps.
  5. Mound the fried rice in the center of the pan in a mountain-like shape, then pour a mixture of salt and mozzarella cheese into the empty space around the edges.
  6. Sprinkle parsley powder on top, cover with a lid, and gently warm over low heat until the egg and cheese are softly set.
  1. Sear the pork until golden, then sauté kimchi, bean sprouts, and sugar in the pork fat.
  2. Season with ssamjang and tonkatsu sauce, then mix in rice and sesame powder for even coating.
  3. Mound the rice in the center, pour the cheese-egg mixture around the edges, and cook covered over low heat.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When using fatty cuts like belly pork, skip the initial oil for a cleaner taste.
  • If bean sprouts are unavailable, they can be omitted; if ssamjang is not available, gochujang can be used as a substitute.
  • To prevent burning and ensure the egg and cheese are evenly soft throughout, always use the lowest possible heat and keep the lid on.
