Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- 3 cups rice
- 3 cups water
- a little cooking oil
- adequate amount of sliced pork belly
- a little salt
- a little pepper
- adequate amount of finely chopped kimchi
- 1 tbsp gochugaru
- 2 tbsp anchovy sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp beef dasida
- plenty of scallions
- 1 drizzle of sesame oil
Recipe 🍳
- Wash 3 cups of rice and soak in 3 cups of water for at least 20-30 minutes before cooking.
- Add a little cooking oil to a pot, add the sliced pork belly, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until golden brown.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the finely chopped kimchi, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 2 tbsp anchovy sauce, and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Stir-fry over high heat.
- When the kimchi becomes translucent, pour in the soaked rice and water. Add 1/2 tbsp beef dasida and gently mix.
- Once the water starts to boil, immediately cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it rest with the lid on for 10 minutes to steam.
- While it rests, thinly slice the scallions into small pieces for garnish.
- Open the lid, top generously with the sliced scallions, drizzle with one drizzle of sesame oil, and mix everything together evenly.
- Mix equal amounts of rice and water and soak. In a pot, stir-fry sliced pork belly with salt and pepper.
- Add finely chopped kimchi and seasonings, stir-fry over high heat, then add soaked rice, water, and dasida. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let steam for 10 minutes. Mix in scallions and sesame oil.
Cooking tips 💡
- When making pot rice, soak the rice for at least 20-30 minutes to ensure the grains are fully cooked and tender.
- Stir-fry the kimchi until it becomes translucent to remove its sourness and blend well with the pork belly fat for a deep flavor.
- Do not open the lid during steaming; the steam inside the pot will perfectly cook the rice grains all the way through.
