@ricepaella recipe: Kimchi rice with pork ribs
INGREDIENTS:
What is kimchi?
It is such a typical food in Korea that it is expected on the table like a loaf of bread here in Spain. We can generally obtain it in supermarkets, although we can also prepare it ourselves at home, not very different from how they do it in Korea, where they even have specialized refrigerators to preserve and prepare this food.
STEP BY STEP
1.- Heat the oil
To start with this recipe, we pour the EVOO into the paella, level it and turn on the heat at medium power so that the oil heats up.
2.- We fry pork ribs
When the oil is very hot, add the pork ribs, add a pinch of salt and fry until they have a nice golden color. We remove towards the ends of the paella
3.- Add paprika and tomato
With our ribs prepared, we add a teaspoon of sweet paprika and, then, the tomato, which we will have previously grated. We fry everything until it turns a dark color.
4.- We introduce the rice
Add the rice and mix well with the pork ribs. We fry everything together for a few minutes.
5.- Add the broth and kimchi
With everything prepared, it's time to pour in the very hot broth and kimchi. We will first add about 250 ml of kimchi (the broth and vegetables in this mixture) and then the liter of vegetable broth. In total they will add up to 1,250 l between the two of them, which is what we will need to make the rice. We raise the heat to high, spread the rice well over the surface of the paella and leave it like that for five minutes.
6.- Lower the fire power
In the next 5 minutes we lower the heat to medium power. We taste the salt and adjust if we think it is necessary.
7.- Lower the heat to a minimum
In the last seven minutes, we lower the heat to minimum.
8.- Let it rest
Finally, let it rest for ten minutes.
After letting the rice rest, we can finally enjoy our kimchi rice with pork ribs. It's time to put our palate to the test with this fusion of Korean flavors, rice lovers!
