10-Minute Pork Jowl Fried Rice: Effortlessly Made with Leftover Pork
Transform your leftover grilled pork jowl into a wonderfully aromatic and flavorful fried rice! The crispy texture of the jowl infuses every grain of rice, creating an unforgettable taste. This recipe is not only a fantastic way to use up leftover meat but also a perfect method to whip up a satisfying and impressive meal in no time.
Key Ingredients- Pork Jowl 80g (already grilled)
- Well-fermented Kimchi 1/3 cup
- Warm Cooked Rice 1 bowl
- Egg 1
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Cook until it turns a light golden color.
Step 2
Add the chopped pork jowl to the pan. Increase the heat to medium and cook for a minute or two on each side until it becomes nicely crispy. Since the pork is already cooked, you just need to re-crisp it.
Step 3
Take your well-fermented kimchi and chop it finely with scissors or a knife. Push the chopped kimchi to one side of the frying pan, preparing to cook it separately for a moment.
Step 4
Using kitchen scissors or a knife, finely chop the crispy grilled pork jowl you just cooked. Aim for bite-sized pieces that offer a pleasant chew rather than making it too mushy.
Step 5
Drizzle a little oligosaccharide (or honey) over the kimchi on the side of the pan. This will add a touch of sweetness that complements the kimchi’s tang. Now, stir-fry the kimchi and pork jowl together.
Step 6
Combine the kimchi and pork jowl in the center of the pan and stir-fry until well mixed. The rendered fat from the jowl will meld with the sourness of the kimchi, forming a delicious base for your fried rice.
Step 7
Clear a space on one side of the frying pan and crack the egg into it. Begin to scramble the egg. As soon as it starts to set, use a spatula or chopsticks to gently break it up.
Step 8
Continue scrambling the egg until it’s cooked through but still tender, ensuring it doesn’t clump together. Once done, mix the scrambled egg with the pork jowl and kimchi mixture in the pan. Stir-fry everything together until well combined.
Step 9
Add one bowl of warm cooked rice and a little oyster sauce (or soy sauce). Oyster sauce adds a rich umami flavor and helps coat the rice grains, preventing the fried rice from becoming sticky. Stir-fry thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and heated through.
Step 10
Your delicious pork jowl fried rice is now complete! Serve it beautifully on a plate and enjoy. Even though it’s made with leftovers, you’ll be amazed by the rich, restaurant-quality flavor.
