Kimchibap Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked short grain rice, washed & soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1/2 lb ground pork or your choice of ground protein
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sake
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup kimchi juice
- 2 tbsp shiro dashi
- 1 tbsp yondu (vegetable umami)
- 2 cups sour kimchi, chopped
- Soft-boiled eggs, optional (see note)
- Chopped green onions
- Sesame seeds
If you don’t have shiro dashi or Yondu, substitute water with chicken broth.
Instructions
Prepare the Rice:
Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear, then soak it for about 30 minutes. Drain the rice.
Marinate the Pork:
In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, soy sauce, mirin, sake, and black pepper. Set aside.
Combine Ingredients:
In a pot or rice cooker, combine the drained rice, water, kimchi juice, shiro dashi, and Yondu. Mix well.
Place the chopped kimchi on top of the rice and spread it evenly. Add the marinated pork on top of the kimchi, spreading it evenly.
Cook the Rice:
Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low heat and cook for about 12 to 15 minutes. After turning off the heat, let it sit for another 10 minutes to finish cooking.
Finishing Touches:
Optionally, torch the pork for an extra smoky flavor. Mix everything well.
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Enjoy!
Notes!
- To make perfect soft-boiled eggs, bring your eggs to room temperature (you can leave cold eggs in warm water for 5 minutes if needed). Add the eggs to salted boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Transfer to iced water and let cool for a couple of minutes.
- You can use sliced or chopped pork or your choice of protein.

If you are using the rice cooker, would you just use the normal settings as you would cooking plain rice?
Yes, normal white rice cooking setting will do!
