Method

Cooking Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Prepare Kimchi Base

  1. 3

    Mix Kimchi Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the kimchi, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 4

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 5

    Prepare Corn

    If using frozen corn, thaw it in hot water or microwave. If using canned corn, drain and rinse.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine All Components

    In a large serving bowl, fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Add the kimchi mixture and corn, mixing gently to combine.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Pour the garlic butter over the rice mixture and stir gently. Top with chopped green onions.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the hot kimchi pepper rice immediately, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
