Instructions

  1. Break up the cold rice with a rice paddle or wooden spatula. Set aside.
  2. Slice pork belly into ½-inch wide pieces. Set aside.
  3. In a large pan or wok on medium-high heat without oil, add chopped pork belly. Spread it apart and cook your pork belly so that the edges are browned and the fat renders off, about 5-8 minutes.
  4. Next toss in onion, garlic, and kimchi. Stir-fry until the juices release from the kimchi into the pan, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add cooked rice, regular soy sauce, kimchi juice, gochujang, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until rice granules are red in color. Do not over cook the rice or it'll become mushy.
  6. Lastly garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Remove off heat and serve with Korean seaweed flakes and a fried egg on top. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Please use 240 grams of uncooked rice and cook in a rice cooker or on the stove top. After the rice is cooked: evenly spread the rice on a large baking sheet with a rice paddle and freeze it uncovered for 60 minutes so the cold air can dry it out.  Then break up the cold rice with your hands and you can stir fry it. This prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy when you fry it.
