Preparation
Cook the rice
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and add ½ the mirin and ½ the sesame oil. Let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Grill the pork
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make the sauce by combining the gochujang, honey, and remaining mirin and sesame oil.
- Pat the pork* dry; rub with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, occasionally brushing with the sauce, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Grill the bok choy
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; halve lengthwise. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 2 to 3 min. per side, until tender.
Finish & serve
- Chop the kimchi.
- Slice the scallion crosswise.
- To the pot of rice, add the kimchi; stir well.
- Divide the rice between your plates.
- Top with the pork and bok choy.
- Garnish with the scallion. Bon appétit!
