Spicy Pork Bibimbap
Egg Yolk

A mouthwatering bowl of spicy pork bibimbap featuring tender pork belly in a rich red glaze, fresh sweet onions, and a velvety raw egg yolk.

Ingredients

• 300 g pork belly
• 1 onion
• 1 bowl white rice
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp white sugar
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1.5 tbsp Korean chili paste
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 tsp white sesame seeds
• a pinch sugar for soaking

Instructions

1. 1Soak the onions

   

   Place the thinly sliced onions into a bowl, add water and a little bit of sugar, and let them soak for 15 minutes to remove their sharp taste.

   Tip: Adding a little sugar helps draw out the sharp bite quickly.
2. 2Mix the Sauce

   

   Combine light soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, white sugar, chili powder, and Korean chili paste in a measuring cup, stir thoroughly until smooth, and set aside.

   Tip: Mix the Korean chili paste thoroughly so it dissolves smoothly into the liquid ingredients.
3. 3Render the Pork Belly

   

   Heat a pan with a small amount of oil, add the raw pork belly slices, and fry them over medium heat until they release their natural fat.

   Tip: Start with medium heat to let the pork belly render its natural fat slowly.
4. 4Sauté the Aromatics

   

   Toss chopped green onions and minced garlic directly into the pan with the frying pork slices, stir-frying until aromatic.

   Tip: Add the garlic slightly later than the green onions if needed to prevent it from burning.
5. 5Coat with Sauce

   

   Pour the prepared red sauce into the pan, stirring continuously so the pork slices become evenly coated and absorb the rich flavors.

   Tip: Stir continuously after pouring the sauce so the pork absorbs the flavors evenly.
6. 6Add White Sesame Seeds

   

   Before finishing, sprinkle white sesame seeds over the saucy spicy pork in the pan to add extra aroma and a subtle crunch.

   Tip: Toast the sesame seeds lightly beforehand if you want an even nuttier fragrance.
7. 7Assemble Pork Over Rice

   

   Using chopsticks or a spoon, take the cooked spicy pork and arrange it neatly on top of a freshly prepared bowl of white rice.

   Tip: Make sure the rice underneath is piping hot so it absorbs the savory flavors of the pork.
8. 8Top with Onions and Egg Yolk

   

   Place the soaked onion strips alongside the spicy pork and top everything with a fresh raw egg yolk. Garnish with additional sesame seeds and green onions.

   Tip: Mix the raw egg yolk into the hot rice and pork just before eating for a rich, velvety texture.
