Recipe 🍳

  4. Add sweet corn for texture, then pile on plenty of mozzarella cheese until the rice is completely hidden.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The balance of gochujang, ketchup, and oligosaccharide syrup is key to recreating the classic sweet and spicy bunsik sauce.
  • Unlike stone pot cheese rice, microwave cooking won't create a crispy bottom crust, but the result is much moister and softer.
  • After cooking, mix the cheese and rice thoroughly while hot so the cheese stretches beautifully.
