Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz diced pork belly and cook for 5-6 minutes until the fat renders and pork is crispy on edges.
Step 2: Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 cup chopped kimchi with its juice; stir-fry for 3 minutes until fragrant and kimchi softens.
Step 3: Stir in 4 cups cooked short-grain white rice, breaking up clumps, then add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp gochujang, and 2 tbsp sesame oil. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until rice is heated through and evenly coated with sauce.
Step 4: Mix in 3 sliced green onions just before removing from heat and serve topped with 4 fried eggs if desired for extra richness.
