SPICY OVEN-FRIED RICE WITH GOCHUJANG AND FRIED EGGS



Spicy Oven-Fried Rice With Gochujang and Fried Eggs image

This crunchy, tasty, not-really-fried rice gets a big umami punch from gochujang, the fermented Korean red-pepper paste that's worth keeping in your fridge to perk up all sorts of dishes. As with any fried rice, you can add raw or cooked vegetables according to what you have on hand (though you'll want to add cooked vegetables a little later in the cooking process). If you don't have brussels sprouts, you could use any type of cabbage. Broccoli or cauliflower would be great substitutes for broccolini, and butternut squash can replace the carrots. The fried egg on top makes it feel like a more substantial meal, but you can leave it out for a lighter dinner. If you are a vegetarian, leave out the sausage, or add some smoked tofu. The dish is endlessly customizable.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups uncooked short-grain brown rice, or 4 cups cooked, chilled white rice
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola or grapeseed oil
2 links turkey or pork sausage (about 6 ounces total), removed from casings
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick coins
4 scallions, sliced, green and white parts separated
1/4 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
1/4 pound brussels sprouts, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 large stalks broccolini, chopped (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red-pepper paste)
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari or soy sauce
4 fried eggs, for serving (optional)
Dark sesame oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • If using uncooked rice, combine the rice and 2 1/2 cups water in a small, deep saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, covered, then spread out on a large baking sheet to cool completely.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Add 1 tablespoon neutral oil to a large rimmed baking sheet, and add the sausage. Cut it into smaller pieces right on the baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to cook, 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, break the sausage into smaller pieces again, then cook until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Add the carrots, scallion whites, mushrooms, brussels sprouts and broccolini to the sheet pan, stir well to coat with the oil, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Cook until the vegetables have wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the gochujang, tamari and remaining 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large bowl. Add the cooked rice and stir until evenly coated.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the rice, stirring to combine with the vegetables, then press the mixture down with the back of a spatula. Return to oven and cook until rice is getting crisp on the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once about halfway through and pressing down again. (If serving with fried eggs, begin cooking them about 5 minutes before the rice is done.)
  • Divide oven-fried rice among plates or bowls and top each portion with a fried egg, if using. Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with the scallion greens and serve immediately.

SPICY KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN WITH GOCHUJANG SAUCE



Spicy Korean Fried Chicken with Gochujang Sauce image

It took about two decades for this style of Korean fried chicken to make its way into the American foodie scene. The chicken is deep fried twice to make the exterior extra crispy and to lock moisture in. The gochujang sauce is a hot, honey, spicy mix...and well, it's just fabulous. You'll have the family completely raving!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup potato starch
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Whisk milk and egg together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth. Add chicken tenders to egg wash and let marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Combine flour, potato starch, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Pour mixture into a large, resealable plastic bag. Drain and discard marinade from chicken tenders. Add chicken to the bag, seal it, and shake until each piece is completely dredged in mixture.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Add chicken pieces to the hot oil about 5 pieces at a time so as not to drop the temperature of the oil. Fry for 2 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Continue with remaining chicken pieces.
  • Increase oil heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until continuously boiling. Carefully add the first batch of cooked chicken and fry again until cooked through and crispy about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with the second batch of chicken pieces. Transfer chicken to a medium-sized serving bowl.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, gochujang paste, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Cook and stir continuously until sugar has melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Drizzle sauce over twice-fried chicken tenders and serve.
