Kimchi pork mince fried rice

If you’re looking for a tasty and spicy dish, this kimchi pork mince fried rice is definitely worth a try. This dish uses two key Korean favourites: spicy, sour kimchi, and hot gochujang. Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables, usually napa cabbage or radish, that is both tangy and spicy. Gochujang, on the other hand, is a Korean chilli paste that’s used as a condiment or seasoning in many Korean dishes.

To make kimchi pork mince fried rice, you will need a few basic ingredients, including rice, pork mince, kimchi, gochujang, garlic, and onion. The dish is easy to prepare, and you can customize it to suit your taste preferences by adjusting the amount of spice or adding other ingredients like vegetables.

How to make it

To start, cook your rice according to package instructions and set it aside. Then, heat a wok or large frying pan and add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion and sauté until the onion is translucent. Next, add the garlic, then pork mince and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Stir through spring onion (scallion) whites. Add the kimchi and gochujang, plus soy sauce for saltiness, and stir well to combine. If you want a milder dish, you can use less gochujang or leave it out altogether.

Once the kimchi and pork mixture is cooked through and fragrant, add the cooked rice and stir well to combine. Cook for a few minutes until the rice is heated through and has absorbed the flavours of the kimchi and pork. Finish the dish off by garnishing with spring onion greens and sesame seeds, then serve with a fried egg. The creaminess of the yolk adds a subtle delight to the finished dish.

You can enjoy this versatile kimchi pork mince fried rice for lunch, or dinner. It’s also a great way to use up leftover rice or kimchi. The combination of spicy kimchi and savoury pork is a match made in heaven! The gochujang adds an extra layer of heat and depth of flavour. This dish is perfect for anyone who loves bold, spicy flavours and wants to try something new and different.
