Key Ingredients to Prepare

Ingredients

2 cups of cooked rice

1.5 cups of chopped kimchi

2 tablespoons of oil

4 cloves of minced garlic

2 small onions, diced

1 carrot, peeled and diced

1/2 cup of frozen peas

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

1 tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 can of spam, cubed

4 slices of bacon

2 chicken steaks with skin (see PrepCooking for additional details)

Green onions, chopped (optional)

Prep-Cooking

Brown the Bacon

Take a frying pan and fill it with enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.

Place the bacon strips in the pan, making sure they are not overlapping each other.

Turn on the heat to medium-high and let the water come to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the bacon cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to turn translucent.

Use tongs to flip the bacon strips over and let them cook for an additional 23 minutes on the other side.

6. Continue to flip and cook the bacon until it is crispy and browned to your liking. This should take about 10-12 minutes in total.

7. Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease.

8. Cut the bacon into bite sizes when cooled! Keep it on a plate for use later with the rice recipe.

Sear and Grill the Chicken Steak

Ingredients

2 chicken steaks (about 8 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Brush the chicken steaks (the meat only) generously with the marinade. Keep the skin dry and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken steaks on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.

During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken steaks with more marinade to create a glaze and help them caramelize.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Slice the chicken steaks when cooled. Keep the chicken slices for the rice recipe.
