Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the pork belly into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the pork pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wash the shiitake mushrooms and carrot, then julienne them thinly. Prepare all your vegetables.
Step 2
Rinse the short-grain rice thoroughly and then soak it in water for about 1 hour. Soaking the rice beforehand will help it cook up fluffy and delicious.
Step 3
In a pressure cooker or electric rice cooker, add the soaked rice. Pour in 1 Tbsp of cheongju and 1 paper cup of water. Arrange the marinated pork, julienned shiitake mushrooms, carrot, and chopped kimchi on top. Cook the rice as you normally would.
Step 4
While the rice is cooking, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped green onion, minced garlic, toasted sesame seeds, gochugaru, 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, 2 Tbsp of soup soy sauce, and the chopped Cheongyang pepper. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined. Feel free to add more chili pepper if you prefer a spicier kick!
Step 5
Your delicious rice is ready! Serve the steaming hot Pork and Kimchi Rice from the rice cooker into bowls. Top generously with the prepared sauce and mix everything together before enjoying. A truly satisfying meal awaits!
