Directions
-
Step 1
Add the rice, water and a pinch of salt to a cold pot. Cover and bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer until air pockets appear. If it is feeling a little more water, then do so and bring it back to the boil. Aim for the rice to be nearly fully cooked once the liquid has almost all gone.
-
Step 2
Use the handle of a wooden spoon to create holes in the rice.
-
Step 3
Turn up to medium heat and pour a little vegetable oil in the holes. Cook for about 5 minutes.
-
Step 4
With confidence, turn it out onto a plate or chopping board.
-
Step 5
Top with kimchi and spring onions to serve.
