Kimchi Beef Cheese Rice Stew

A comforting fusion one-pan meal featuring tender beef slices, savory sausages, tangy kimchi, and rich melted mozzarella and cheese slices over cooked rice.

Ingredients

• 1 bowl cooked rice
• 200 g beef slices
• 1 cup kimchi
• 1 tomato
• 1 onion
• 2 sausages
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 slice processed cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp Korean chili paste
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 bowl water
• to taste shredded seaweed

Instructions

1. 1Cut the Kimchi

   

   Take the kimchi and use kitchen scissors to cut it into smaller, bite-sized pieces directly inside a white bowl.

   Tip: Using scissors is faster and cleaner than a knife and cutting board for fermented vegetables.
2. 2Peel and Slice the Tomato

   

   Take a ripe tomato and carefully peel and slice it on a wooden cutting board using a sharp chefs knife.

   Tip: Score the skin lightly if needed to make peeling easier before dicing.
3. 3Dice the Onion

   

   Place the red onion on the wooden cutting board and dice it into small, uniform pieces using the chefs knife.

   Tip: Keep the root intact while dicing to prevent the onion layers from falling apart.
4. 4Slice the Sausages

   

   Take the sausages and slice them into small, even rounds on the wooden cutting board.

   Tip: Slice them to an even thickness so they cook uniformly when added to the pan.
5. 5Prepare the Sauce

   

   Combine Korean chili paste, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and black pepper powder in a metal bowl, mixing them thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

   Tip: Mix the sauce ingredients well beforehand to ensure the sugar dissolves completely before cooking.
6. 6Sear the Beef Slices

   

   Place thin beef slices into a heated frying pan with a little oil on the stovetop and let them sear.

   Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan so the beef can brown properly and develop a rich flavor.
7. 7Cut Beef Slices

   

   Pan-fry the beef slices until cooked, then use kitchen scissors to cut them into smaller, manageable sections directly inside the pan.

   Tip: Using kitchen scissors makes cutting meat in a hot pan quick and effortless.
8. 8Add Sliced Sausages

   

   Add the freshly sliced sausages directly into the frying pan alongside the cooked beef slices, mixing them together well before setting them aside.

   Tip: Ensure the pan has enough remaining space so the sausages mix evenly with the beef.
9. 9Sauté Red Onions

   

   Place the diced red onions into the frying pan and sauté them over heat until they become translucent and fragrant.

   Tip: Sautéing onions over medium heat prevents them from burning while releasing their natural sweetness.
10. 10Add Tomatoes and Kimchi

    

    Add the diced tomatoes and chopped kimchi into the pan with the sautéed onions, stirring them together to combine the flavors.

    Tip: Chop the kimchi finely with scissors beforehand so it blends smoothly into the vegetable base.
11. 11Add Chili Powder

    

    Sprinkle a spoonful of chili powder over the simmering vegetable mixture in the pan to enhance the color and spicy kick.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of chili powder depending on your personal heat preference.
12. 12Pour Sauce and Water

    

    Pour the pre-mixed sauce and a bowl of water into the pan with the vegetables, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

    Tip: Stir the sauce well before pouring to ensure the seasonings are fully incorporated.
13. 13Add the cheese

    

    Scatter a slice of processed cheese and a generous amount of grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the surface of the simmering rice stew.

    Tip: Cover the surface evenly so every bite gets a cheesy, melting texture.
