Pork And Vegetable Rice Bowl With Kimchi Recipes

RICE BOWL WITH PORK SAUSAGE AND KIMCHI

Steps:

• Put pork, beets, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, sorghum, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix vigorously with a rubber spatula to combine, about 1 minute. The pork will begin to take on the color of the beets.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1 teaspoon olive oil into the pan, and while it's heating, use a wooden spoon to measure and form the pork patties, about 2 tablespoons each, making 12-15 patties. When the oil is shimmering, place patties into the skillet in an even layer, taking care not to crowd the pan. You'll need to cook the patties in 2 or 3 batches.
• Turn heat to medium-high and cook patties until lightly brown and caramelized, 3 minutes. Flip and cook 3 more minutes, pressing down gently. (Note: Patties can be cooked 1-2 days ahead. Uncooked sausage patties can be stored in a zip-top plastic bag and refrigerated 1-2 days or stored in the freezer up to 1 month.)
• Turn heat to low, cover the skillet, and steam the patties to fully cook through, 1 more minute. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining oil and patties.
• Assembly: For an individual rice bowl, start with 1-1½ cups of cooked rice. Top with 3-5 sausage patties. Roughly chop the cilantro, including stems, and the kimchi. Arrange about 2 tablespoons each of cilantro, kimchi, and jicama on top of the rice. Serve.

PORK AND VEGETABLE RICE BOWL WITH KIMCHI

Steps:

• In large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add garlic, then carrots and zucchini. Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until vegetables just begin to soften.
• Remove skillet from heat and add green onions, sesame oil and soy sauce. Stir to combine.
• To prepare rice bowls, add 3/4 cup rice to each bowl. Top rice with about 1/2 to 3/4 cup vegetables. Add 1 to 2 ounces pork or chicken and 1/2 cup kimchi to each bowl.
• Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

HOISIN-GLAZED PORK BOWL WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine hoisin, ketchup, honey, ginger, Sriracha, garlic and five-spice powder.
• Season pork with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, then add to the marinade. Toss to evenly coat, cover, and set aside. You can let the pork marinate, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, or you can cook it right away.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Heat oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip back into the bowl. (Reserve marinade.) Sear pork for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and about 2 minutes on the other, until nicely browned and caramelized.
• Remove from heat and pour remaining marinade over the pork, turning to coat evenly. Transfer pan to the oven and cook, turning in the sauce occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145 degrees. (The smallest piece of pork, from the thin end of the tenderloin will be done first, so begin checking temperature at 10 minutes and remove pieces from the oven as they are done.)
• Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Use a peeler to shave the carrots lengthwise into strips. Slice the radishes paper-thin using a mandoline. Thinly slice the scallions on an angle.
• Transfer pork to a plate and set aside to rest. Add rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cook over medium-high, stirring constantly until you have a smooth sauce, adding more water if needed. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer to a small bowl, stirring in any juices that accumulated from the plate with the pork.
• Distribute rice among 4 bowls. Thinly slice the pork and divide among the bowls. Drizzle the sauce over the pork and rice and garnish each bowl with the carrots, radishes, scallions, snow peas and pickled ginger, if using. Serve immediately.
