Whip up a satisfying and delicious Spam, Eggplant, and Kimchi Stir-fry Rice Bowl using ingredients you already have! It’s a magical dish that will have you finishing your rice bowl in no time.
Main Ingredients- 1 Eggplant: medium-sized
- 1/4 can Spam: slice into 1cm thick pieces
- 1/8 head Kimchi: use well-fermented kimchi
- A small bunch of Bok Choy
- A little Green Onion: thinly sliced
- 1 Imitation Crab Stick: shred or slice lengthwise
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp Raw Sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 Tbsp Perilla Oil (Deulgireum)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tbsp Raw Sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 Tbsp Perilla Oil (Deulgireum)
- 1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the eggplant thoroughly, remove the stem, and slice it lengthwise into about 1cm thick pieces. Try to slice them to a moderate thickness so they don’t fall apart while stir-frying.
Step 2
Next, discard some of the kimchi stuffing from the well-fermented kimchi and slice it lengthwise, similar to the eggplant. You can also shred or slice the imitation crab stick into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Slice the Spam into 1cm thick pieces. Lightly grease a pan with cooking oil and stir-fry the Spam until golden brown. Spam releases quite a bit of fat, so you don’t need to add too much oil.
Step 4
Once the Spam is nicely browned, add the sliced eggplant and kimchi, and stir-fry them together. Add the bok choy and chopped green onions, and stir-fry until the vegetables soften slightly. Stir-frying over high heat will help maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables.
Step 5
When the ingredients are mostly cooked, add 1 tablespoon of raw sugar (or granulated sugar) and stir-fry until evenly coated. The sugar will caramelize and add a wonderful savory depth. Just before turning off the heat, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of perilla oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds to finish.
Step 6
Serve generously over a bowl of warm rice to complete your delicious Spam, Eggplant, and Kimchi Stir-fry Rice Bowl! For an extra treat, consider adding a fried egg on top.
