Korean Fried Rice (Bokeumbap) image

This is a recipe my ex came up with when his host-family in the US asked him to make Korean food. I loved it so much I begged him to teach it to me and now it's one of my favorite things to make. It really is a throw-together kind of dish so you can substitute whatever vegetables or meats you want, but this is how I usually make it when I have everything available :)

Time 55m

Yield 1 cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground beef
1/2 kielbasa
3 slices of thinly sliced side pork, Samgyeopsal
1 small onion, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 large carrot, sliced thinly and quartered
1/2 zucchini, sliced thinly and quartered
3 mushrooms, chopped (I use Button or Shiitake)
1 cup bean sprouts
2 cups cabbage kimchi, chopped
2 cups bulgogi marinade
3 -4 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon korean red pepper paste, Gochujang (adjust amount for level of spice)
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons honey
cooking oil
salt
pepper
short-grain white rice, cooked

Steps:

  • In a frying pan, cook all of the meat (seasoning with salt and pepper) as well as the onion and set aside for later. I usually drain the sausage and pork on paper towels to get rid of some of the grease and then saute the onion and beef together separately.
  • In a very large frying pan with oil, cook all of the vegetables together on Medium Low heat, stirring occasionally. Be sure the heat doesn't get too high so as to prevent the kimchee from burning.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
  • Once the vegetables have cooked (about 15 min), stir in the sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  • Mix into rice to create the Bokeumbap -- or simply serve the mixture on top of the rice.
  • *Gochujang and Bulgogi Sauce can be found in Asian grocery markets and I'm able to buy Samgyeopsal at my local butcher if I ask for "thinly sliced side pork".
