Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the galmaegisal, tteokbokki rice cakes, and green onion into large pieces and set them aside.
  2. Mix the grated pear, grated onion, gochujang, oyster sauce, sugar, gochugaru, Miwon, and black pepper to make a marinade. Massage it into the meat and other ingredients.
  3. Refrigerate for a day to allow the flavors to fully marinate.
  4. In a heated pan, add the marinated galmaegisal, vegetables, and rice cakes. Stir-fry over medium-high heat, stirring to prevent burning.
  5. When the meat is nearly cooked, add the julienned perilla leaves, chopped cheongyang chili peppers, and plenty of perilla seed powder. Quickly stir-fry once more.
  6. Remove the meat and eat it. In the remaining rich sauce, add rice and chopped kimchi, and stir-fry until dry. Finish with seaweed flakes and sesame oil to make fried rice.
  1. Toss the galmaegisal with rice cakes, green onions, and spicy gochujang marinade. Marinate for a day.
  2. Stir-fry the ingredients in a pan, then add perilla leaves, cheongyang chili peppers, and perilla seed powder at the end for aroma.
  3. Stir-fry rice, kimchi, seaweed flakes, and sesame oil in the leftover sauce to finish with fried rice.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The perilla seed powder and perilla leaves in the final step tame the potentially harsh gochujang flavor and add depth.
  • Use well-fermented kimchi for the fried rice for umami; stir-fry until dry to fully bring out the nuttiness.
  • If you cook everything together on a griddle at a campsite, it becomes an even more impressive dish.
